You've done superbly well with your baby ?!... lol... It may be a race to see which one is the youngest but metaphorically speaking... that was heartfelt touching. points to both you and Sam EDIT: Actually I'm surprised by the amount of light that goes through the hot glue and the translucent paint.

Sam, that staggered ignition is the absolute shell! Points to you again.

You still need to hook the thing into a portable amp and make folks jump at the sudden ear-piercing growl - my favorite part of the last con.

Haha! Amazing job on the blade Sam, looks wicked! And I frickn LOVE this saber! Amazing job kouri- when Sam first showed me this I recognized/ remebered it right away, so that pretty much tells the whole story right there- it's a masterpiece .

Okay I get it now. Kouri's baby. Thought the saber looked familiar and with great admiration I looked at the build post on another site. Am quite surprised that Kouri let it go... but then again he can always create another. Such talented people on this Forum... we are so fortunate.

Already on it (machining new crossguard exhausts).And on the previous point of shining through glue and paint, while Sam made his own blades, I imagine his experience is pretty similar to mine: 1) Clear glue sticks diffuse/dim a little bit, but the main blade's rocking a direct-drive Tri-Cree Red @ 2100--3000mA, so it's more than enough to make up the difference. 2) Trick is to use "Transparent" (colored, but see-through) paint. Things marked "translucent" will let some light through, but are opaque enough to block/diffuse more than you'd want.

Your unstable blades look amazing on your cross guard saber Samhain138 and I prefer those instead of regular blades. Point.

Awesome . . . points Sam & Kouri You still need to hook the thing into a portable amp and make folks jump at the sudden ear-piercing growl - my favorite part of the last con.
The old time Audio Engineer in me is curious . . . when you say " hook the thing into a portable amp", do you mean by cable ? . . . or some nifty wireless setup ? . . .

Installed a headphone jack next to the covertec wheel so I could plug the saber audio into the line-in port on one of the voice changer speakers. Had to put an extra volume slider on the saber audio line since it's so much louder than the mic. I had fun making people jump at the sudden *CRACKLE-GROWL*, and hadn't checked if Samhain had got the connection working on his end.

It doesn't do it justice. You can hear this thing down the road. No joke. The speaker was vibrating on the deck.
