Limited Run SaberBay DARKSABER season 3 finish now available (limited quantities) saberbay.com

Thought I would give you all an unfortunate update
Two 60-50 foot trees across the street were cracked and leaning against each other due to the crazy weather event we are having here in the north west and I was in fear of them
Crushing the darksabers in the detached garage/workshop

So the pallet I was going thru had to be rushed from the work shop in the garage where I was doing the QC to the inside
Of the house.

An hour later that Our street got closed off and the crew from the utility company asked us to leave the house because the tree holding up the larger tree was uprooting and the wind conditions were making it so they couldn’t not currently do anything about it
So we packed up the pets ( and our house guest) and we checked into a nearby hotel.
Before leaving I again moved all the darksabers to the basement which is safe from tree fall as it’s next to foundation.
Also turned the house power off(eliminating risk of fire) and turned the main water line off as well
Just thought you all should know because it definitely means I am not getting any work done this weekend ….
Was hoping to work thru the holiday
Now can’t even sleep in my own bed
Oh man that's intense. I hope everyone is ok and that everything turns out alright.

Wow what a crazy weather situation we’re all having. Maybe it’s a sign you need to take a break and enjoy some R&R with the family! The sabers can wait a little longer, we’ve all waited long enough we can handle a little longer. Your safety and health is most important. Try to enjoy your holiday and mtfbwy.

The darksabers can wait. I do appreciate all the precautions you took, but I’m just happy you and your family are safe. Please just enjoy the holidays as best you can.

Safe to say we all appreciate the dedication in taking care of the sabers. So sorry for the unfortunate situation you are dealing with currently. I hope you are still able to enjoy your holiday time ❤️
 
Stay safe Justin. Hope you get back in your house soon so that you can enjoy the holidays.
 
Omg Justin...... Yea We appreciate your priority to keep the sabers safe. But you and your family is more important. Try and enjoy the holidays with your family. The sabers will be there afterwards.

Oh man, and right around Christmas too! I had a hotel Christmas once, it’s not so bad. A safe Justin and family are the most important thing. Hope the utility crew gets you back into your place as safely and soon as possible. It’s a bummer that we’ve got another delay when we’re so close. I’m sure no one is more frustrated than you are.

Hey Fam, thank for your well wished!
We are back home and safe.
Time this past two days was eaten up by taking family and friends back and forth to the airport only to have their flights delayed, delayed and cancelled then having to situate them with a rental car.
Anywho enough of that sob story, I am still waiting on delivery of replacement screws and also extra magnets as the 2x1mm one that go into the chassis flipped way to easy so I ordered a bunch of 2x2 instead which will make assembly much easier for the control box area

Regarding the grip darkening services it will be between 35-45$.
Each main grip will need to be thoroughly cleaned with degreaser, rinsed, then dipped in diluted aluminum black, then rinsed then dryed, then "dry polished" which basically just going back and forth with micro fiber cloths.
I am waiting for the consumable for this to arrive so that the sample I show is as accurate to what is received.
I have a ton of aluminum black but I needed the other consumable, shop towels, micro fiber, degreasing toweled and applicator cloth/cotton.

Should have more to report Thursday or Friday.

Crystal chambers and plastic crystals are on their way from shapeways, obviously just delayed from all the weather mishaps but they are in transit
 
I’m working on the decals still. We had a printer head go out on our large format printer and they opted to replace the whole machine. Horrible timing and not something that happens overnight during the holiday season. Otherwise getting a new printer delivered and setup doesn’t take too long these guys are a pro shop. Same place I used to work at and the tight relationship I have with them is how I’m still able to get these unique decals made.

They know I’m in a rush and they usually move pretty quick so I expect them to be printed as soon as they are able. Very sorry I fully expected them to be done earlier than this but I didn’t foresee these technical issues.

How about you ship out what you’ve completed?

I’m going to be shipping out the completed blades to Justin, but the decals are made all at once, only a 2 day procedure. However they didn’t even get a single decal printed unfortunately, I guess it happened at the same time I submitted my artwork and they were trying to save the head before declaring it a loss. This part is outside my control, as soon as they have an update which I expect would be next week I’ll post it here.

I didn't realize the blades were printed decals. Will light shine through the printed parts? Can we see what the blades will look like, or will they be the same as the Malibu run?
