Thanks for the info on the carpet. Lol Great job on the saber. I bet your proud of your build.

Long saber.

Blade's not too evenly lit. I'd through some polypro wrap in that sucker.

I use saberforge's blades. I just slide in Tim's diffuser and it looks fine to me.

I use the SaberForge Heavy Blade purely for beating the sticks around. I will be picking up a set of UltraEdge blades for show purposes. I am sure they will brighten up the color without a hitch.

Went with a longer hilt on this, my 5th saber, just for the feel of a good 2-hander. I find it's not all that long since most of the hilts I tend to 'mock up' are about 12in in any case.

And the carpet info was just to be completely detailed and factual. :P
