Con. Snake Posted April 19, 2002 Author Share Posted April 19, 2002 ...The orange tip is easily removed, causes no harm to the saber, and causes no harm to the functionality of the saber to do so. And now, Consolidated Snake is off to Play some JK2 Multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over_burn_jedi Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Wow And I thught only Lucas could make sabers. This is some work 6-8 weeks and $300- price tag is a small price to pay to get a saber you can actually duel with... nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBK Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Consolidated, nice way to to consolidate your name. check out http://www.wordsmithdigital.com/saber/ and build your own. Though, without the blade. There are other sites, this was just th efirst one I found. Go to any search engine and type in 'build a lightsabre' or something like that. I use Web Ferret.

WanderingKnight Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 I'm not sure if these sabres are actually going to be that good for actual dueling...

Beckett Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 maybe I can talk Parks into a cheaper deal cause he's in Dallas, and hey! I'm in dallas too. I think I'll atleast go check out his selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandmasterlee Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 Sound?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I would need the sound when you activate the saber and the hummmmmmmmm. Even the old plastic toy sabers had the hum when you swung them. Those are damn cool, with sound they would be complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coronog Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 Guys, if you're really looking for some real duelling fun, check out these badarse blades. They (most of them) cost less, and they really do the damage. I know they don't have anything to do with Star Wars, but I'd bet my balls they are much more fun than those little plastic sabers (no offense to the big saber-supporters here).

HBK Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 WOOHOO, I got props twice in 1 thread! Tnx Con. Snake. I'd like to try and build one of those sabres. The parts seem cheap, I'll probably get them and put it together over the course of a long time. If I ever finish I'll post a picture. Don't hold your breath.

Con. Snake Posted April 20, 2002 Author Share Posted April 20, 2002 Heh, HBK I never thought of that because I have absolute zero building skills So I'm gonna have to buy one so I have a pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Bakker Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 Heh heh heh. Cool sabers. Con. Snake = Consolidated Snake - Board wouldn't let me have my full name. Does that mean that your name is abbreviated consolidated snake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Cloak Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 *ho hums and goes to work building himself a real lightsaber...miraculously figures out how to control the length and width of the blade using electromagnetic fields and everything else and stuff...* Well, okay, so not really, but I wish.

Demangel Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 I do both staged, and non staged live steel fighting (fully sharp swords ETC) in real life with other skilled people (I teach a few sword styles). though I am alwyas looking for a newer better or more fun to use practice blade. (I don't use live steel with morons, but regardless trust me, I KNOw what I am doing here, been doing it for YEARS... the people I use live steel with rock, and know how to control the blades, and when not in staged events we slow down the swings to about 25-40%, and make it all blockable, ETC, nobody has been hurt yet!) all that being said, I have enough REAL blades (not wall hangers at all), and Boken to last a life time (though the web site with real swords is definately a good spot, generation 2 is basically the "kind" of blades I own at a minimum, or better, all fully sharp, I own katana, and More european styles, and know how to use them all fencing is the only form I never studied...). However with all this stuff something I have always wanted to show off and just plain have a ****load of fun with at Fairs and whatnot, is a light saber... one I could use for dueling with one of the guys I spar with. Now everyone tell me honestly. If you went to a local Sci fi convention and spotted two guys in decent looking star wars getup, sparring with these bad ass mofo's and REALLY swinging like a pro would do,would you or would you NOT watch with awe and drool on your lips? snake you are my hero! the next door neighbors kids will worship me like I am a god when I am practicing on my lawn with this bad boy. My money is in the mail as we speak... I can;t thank you enough. And yes I saw HBK's sight a long time ago, thought about it, but wanted something with a blade, so never made one... the problem? making a glowing tube that is unbreakable, or at least hard enough to break to make it safe to use (very bad to break neon lights BTW glass everywhere and poisonous powder I think). As for the power supply? look here: http://www.parksabers.com/2002models/BATTERY4.jpg it clearly shows a 9 volt, rechargeable (least it looks like it to me). /endless Worship snake /Think I am going to cry at how cool these are...

Con. Snake Posted April 21, 2002 Author Share Posted April 21, 2002 :sigh: The gods mock me, yes they do. Tonight I was "Laid Off"(This is the nice way of being told "You're fired because we made stupid businees decisions" Incase any of you don't know). So on my way home, I stopped at every place I could find(There isn't much within 20 miles of where I live - Nowhere, and I'm legally not allowed to drive.), and no one is hiring. Thus my last paycheck has to be used for bills until I am able to find another job. I'm probably going to have to sell my saber(no - I promised a friend long ago if I ever sold it, it would be to him). Couple that with zero building skills, and I am pretty much without one now...Was good while it lasted. :sigh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiverWalker Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 I think thats one reason it's fun for those who do it, both from the "risk" envolved, and from the reaction of onlookers, by my understanding live steel goes extroardinarily slow, but, since swordplay as most people know it is pretty slow, unless you've done swordfighting at full speed with nonlethal blades(like SCA) then you wouldn't know the difference...

princessliar Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 I must admit they're pretty sweet, although I don't think my allowance or my summer job is going to run to one. Knowing the postal service around here, the postman would probably try to ram it through the letterbox anyway. It made my skin crawl when he did that with my brand new Dark Forces graphic novel. Designed to impress, the Echelon™ belt will make the most out of any gedi garb / saber combination. Gedi?? LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
