Okay, that's perfect.
Thank you. Smiley
 
Quick question, tho...what blade is it? Ultraedge? Mid/Heavy grade?
I'm really, really close to buying my first saber, and that's the last hurdle.
Durability vs brightness; I need to find that sweet-spot, that Goldilocks zone, there, and then I'm ready.

The blade in the picture is a standard mid-grade blade.   The visual color isn't radically different using an ultra-edge blade but it looks different, more like a push-pop orange.   :-)  Same color, but 'softer' if that makes sense.

The standard heavy-grade blade looks very similar but the core looks narrower with a bit more attenuation.  No real difference in color, but its a LOT more durable for dueling.  I've never noticed a real difference in brightness between the mid-grade and heavy-grade blades.  Others however have, so there's something to be said about the eye of the beholder.  :-)

Unless you're going to be doing some serious dueling, however, I'd recommend a standard mid-grade blade.  They seem to be the best universally.

I have this idea for ignition...gonna make it go instantly as white and bright as possible before it slowly turns to the amber color I want.
That'll getcha noticed. Smiley

Great choice of saber! The video with saber ignition, you can definitely do that with the diamond board!
After you get it, if you have any trouble programming it. Say so. Lots of people here will happily help you out, myself included.

Infact, I might just get started on it for you right now!

I watched the Diamond tutorial videos; it looks easier than editing that video I posted.
Putting points on a timeline...? Been doing that for decades! Smiley

The offer still stands!

I did C.A.D.D. for years. Getting everything perfect on the saber can be overwhelming and frustrating for some. It was frustrating for me the first couple months! I never asked for help because, I need to learn everything the hard way for some reason.
 I was just trying to let you know, you have lots of helpers at the ready! I want you to be as happy with your saber as I am with mine. That's all!
