And I guess it goes without saying...ultra saber parts or custom/repurposed details...no parts from other saber companies. This contest would be for established forum members only, no people joining just for the challenge...which doin so would be weird as it is a fri endly challenge meant to share techniques and processes.  |

The thought would be to open a single source with Ultra and when we purchase our starter saber then leave the extra in the account.
The money pot means nothing to me, I'm up for doing it for the challenge.
sorry don't want you to think I'm raining on your parade just had that concern. |

No worries at all! Just making sure that any issues were not from a misunderstanding of the contest itself.  |

What do I ave to do to enter, buy an Initiate V3, and five of those $1 requisition charges and in the order comments type bought for the customizing contest? and what is the deadline?

Let us confirm all the details and get it set up with the men in mission control...I suspect a Halloween deadline would make sense. If the whole money thing falls through I will still follow though with an open challenge saber. And yes you can mod with milling or other methods of subtraction |

the other thing is that while I have never modified one of my sabers I WAS a professional Machinist for a while, so I am not sure which category I would enter in.

i would like to submit my ides for this contest.. manly, i have the v3 initialte already, and 2 v2 initiates... i have some mod/fabrications im about to do to them over this comming weekend.... there fore i already have my basic starter hilts to use in the contest..
on the way about to ake this "money pot" happen for the contest, i say, K.I.S.S.... Keep It Simple Stupid.... i belive western union/money orders/paypal account holders.. could make the "donation" to US.... money orders are very safe, and they are cheap.. only about 1$ to have one made, i use money orders to pay for my vehicle and some other bills... fast and easy,
the paypal idea is for those that may not have a money order system like they do here in the USA.. its not hard to send money to other paypal holders

If they give their sanction on the competition, then I believe that they would be willing to donate some (stunt or otherwise) to the winner. Look how generous they are in their various giveaways. Adding money to it just makes it clunky. In any event, most of the participants I think would be pleased to get anything ( or just knowing that they were the winner) and the rest of us will benefit from seeing their entries.
People pick a saber.
They show their parts list and corresponding costs.
Then build and amaze.
Mods put up a poll for voting.

Initiate v3...in black or silver The whole idea...the entire idea here...is that we all start with the EXACT same model. Initiate v3...in black or silver Initiate v3...in black or silver   Initiate v3...in black or silver Not the saber of choice...otherwise it is just another day...every single day or at least week another forumite shares their project with a various saber. Initiate v3...in black or silver No sir...no madame...if we move forward then it should be with the same model or it defeats the point. Initiate v3...in black or silver As for the prize, the idea was to have no money in my submission to Ultra and Deep, the money was mentioned to sweeten the pot and establish degree of interest. Initiate v3...in black or silver This is not a raffle, it is a challenge. Initiate v3...in black or silver So to be completely clear  we would all start with an Initiate v3...in black or silver...whatever color LED...whatever blade...modify as desired...submit...get the accolades of your peers...share techniques...enjoy the process...create a gallery of the challenge pieces...show others who think they can not make their own mods that they can. Initiate v3...in black or silver PS Initiate v3...in black or silver |

So what you're saying is that entrants can only use an Initiate V3 in black or silver? I don't have the time or money right now but I will be interested to see how this goes. If it goes well maybe there can be more of these. |

I felt a great disturbance in the force as if millions of nerds cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

yeah I dont have the credits this go round but I will be cheering for you all. I think this would be a good model to use the initiate is a good choice
as it keeps the cost down and it very thick gives alot of versitilty as far as maching, drilling, tapping etc... GL to everyone will be keeping an eye on this one

If it goes well maybe there can be more of these. What's that? An Initiate V3 in black or silver you say? Lol...yes it would be fun to see what techniques come to light that people use, collected in one place, like a mass tutorial on mods and conversions. PS Just to clear we are talking about working with the exact same model saber...Initiate v3, silver or black |
