Hi all. I suppose I should add this to the list:

Hi all. It's been a while since I posted anything here, but I thought this might be of particular interest to some. To my surprise, the search function turned up nothing regarding Jareth's necklace from the movie Labyrinth. My fiance' Nikki and I drove over 700 miles to attend Faerie Con in...

Incredible work. I particularly like the sabers, but I tend to be into sabers more than other stuff, so that figures. :lol We definitely are looking forward to seeing the film too. I know I am. Corbin Das Corbin@CorbinDas.com

Hi guys It comes already assembled. It's made out of a combination of a porous stainless steel base impregnated with bronze. Bathsheba Grossman is indeed the artist. I agree, she rocks. Corbin

Greetings all. I just thought I'd share a picture or two of my holocrons to see what people thought. They were made by an artist I found that works in various geometrical shapes and were made using 3D metal printing. They carry a custom made price tag though. I might be offering these to...

Here's one that has been a long time in the works: This is what it looks like so far: Another model I made for a friend doing a live stage combat production. I actually made several Luxeon LED sabers for him: Here's how it turned out: I have a few other designs that haven't been...

Hi. Although it's a bit messy and might need to be touched up from time to time, rub-n-buff works great. It's a paste that you smear onto the surface and rub around (I use my finger) to create friction. It has a really convincing metallic sheen to it when finished. I'm not sure how well it...

Hi there If pulling it up with a magnet doesn't work, how about pushing it up with magnets in the base that have the same polarity? You'd have to either use a large ring like magnet or several smaller ones in a circle, but then you'd just have to find the right weight to push ratio for it to...

<div class='quotetop'>(WookieGunner @ May 27 2006, 08:12 AM) 1251602</div> Hi Gunner The K2 is brighter in green, blue, white, royal blue and cyan. The 3 watt is brighter in red, red/orange and amber. Lars, I've experimented with different shaped reflective surfaces for a while now. A...

<div class='quotetop'>(GeneralMayhem @ May 26 2006, 06:38 PM) 1251340</div> That's a cool idea. Maybe I'll try incorporating it into a future design. I've seen a couple sabers with a viewport that had a crystal inside that lit up, but nothing where it came out to deactivate the saber. I'm not...

Phayze, I've been a member of a Medieval re-creation group called the SCA since 1989. I routinely fight with rattan swords. spears, axes and such as well as fencing with rapier, dagger, cloak and other items. I understand that a weapon that carries all its weight in the blade (or in the pommel...

<div class='quotetop'>(Boba Frett @ May 24 2006, 09:33 PM) 1250157</div> Thanks Boba I kinda thought that it would be too nose heavy when I first stepped back and looked at the design. It was made with dueling in mind, so the thin grip (1" OD with O-rings making it just under 1.25 OD) and...

Hi guys There's more than one type of Luxeon saber out there. Batteries, LED wattage, blade construction and whether or not it's using a dedicated amperage regulator to get the brightest LED possible all contribute to making an OK Luxeon saber into a great one. A direct drive saber (LED with a...

This is the last saber in a series of sabers I have supplied to a friend for his production of a stage show called Balance of Power. This last saber is the Light Master's personal one. It uses a K2 Luxeon and a sound module from an Anakin FX saber. There's a recharge port that also doubles as...

Hi all In response to several emails, I thought I'd post a bit of a tutorial on how to best insert the blade film into the polycarb tube on the Luxeon based sabers. It's easy to just say "roll it up and slide it in", but I've found certain techniques save time and frustration. Having the film...
