Light Sabers

[AkaneTakada]

Hey

was wondering if anybody here had some experience in light saber building? Im starting a Maris Brood costume and everything has to be perfect for her to be accepted as a 501st character, so I figured I would start with what I have zero experience in.

From what I've heard and seen with my own eyes, the resident "master of all things lightsaber" is Jay-gon Jinn. He is a member of the Rebel Legion but he frequents our boards and events. You can find him on our boards and send him a PM.

Agreed!!
Jay-Gon you seek!!

[AkaneTakada]

awesome thanks for the help!

[AkaneTakada]

so found out jay-gon is massively booked up with both work and lightsabers. So anybody got a plan B?

Or see if UltraSabers is willing and able to do it, though it may cost a pretty penny.

I also know a few custom saber smiths, one particularly in Georgia is a real wiz at it. If you're willing to seek out of state, I can contact him and see if he's open to custom orders, and put you in comms with him.

also checked with Ultra sabers and they said that they have created her sabers but are not offering them at this time.

Well, thanks for the shout-out fellas!

Yeah, sorry but GM decided to cancel my free time...I know, I should be glad to have the work, but it gets on my nerves being there 6 days a week.

I would certainly love to tackle a pair of tonfa sabers (never built any before), but I don't think I could get to them until sometime late in the year. I have to build one for Karen Larabel first, and then I have one scheduled for Andy (slvrcrest).

I also know a few custom saber smiths, one particularly in Georgia is a real wiz at it. If you're willing to seek out of state, I can contact him and see if he's open to custom orders, and put you in comms with him.

Would this be Wade Henry/Ryen Skytracker/Saber Concepts? He does good work, if that's who you're referring to.

Yup, that'd be the man Jay... He is a pretty good smith when it comes to those things. If I ever kick the addiction to beskar'gam, he's managed to help me define a few concepts here and there. And, he knows his machines. Growing up with a machinist as my step-dad, it's a relief to talk to someone who uses the same equipment, and have them know more about a lathe and CNC and such than just the bare minimum.
