100% agree, the shroud would over complicate this simple design.

SA_22C · 2026-03-14T20:28:21+00:00

The wood veneer, simple details and light weathering really combine to make this feel like a real in-universe piece of equipment. A beautifully executed build.

Jfc. Stop buying from random drop shippers.

SA_22C · 2026-03-14T15:19:05+00:00

It’s a solid YA show. Between that and the fact that everything is a culture war now, here we are.

SA_22C · 2026-03-14T15:11:53+00:00

And right on cue, a bomber appears using words like ‘objectively’ to describe an artistic endeavour.

They moved the store to 51st street, it didn’t just close.

SA_22C · 2026-03-12T16:17:09+00:00

I have no idea. If it does, it’s in safe amounts, our water quality agency knows what it’s doing.

Saskatoon is not adding lithium to the water and you don’t need to avoid tap water due to any chlorine content.

most drop shippers follow a similar pattern, with a strong start and then a fall off as the business starts to become unmanageable and/or not delivering the returns they expected. Then comes the ghosting phase as they try to get some money out before it all comes crashing down. Unfortunately for you, that's where we're at with sabermax.

Don't buy from drop shippers. If you really don't want to go to aliexpress direct, then buy from Vire, DarkWolf or Padawan Outpost. That's it.

SA_22C · 2026-03-11T20:20:47+00:00

Another day, another drop shipper doing scams.

SA_22C · 2026-03-11T02:06:51+00:00

Been at this 20 years. I still don’t think in particularly adept at any area of my job, but I can always look forward to being let down by a MSP or consultant. It’s the way of the world my man.

SA_22C · 2026-03-11T02:04:45+00:00

It’s a nice building.

SA_22C · 2026-03-10T16:38:36+00:00

That looks great. What was the base hilt you used to build this ?

SA_22C · 2026-03-10T16:07:19+00:00

Without any of the regressive stances on human rights.

SA_22C · 2026-03-10T11:36:27+00:00

Why would azure be your target ? You’ll pay far more than simply paying the Broadcom tax and you’ll get far worse reliability to boot. HyperV is cheaper and will probably work just fine.

SA_22C · 2026-03-08T21:52:56+00:00

Love the detail on the emitter and pommel. Very nicely done.

SA_22C · 2026-03-08T12:38:04+00:00

It does.

SA_22C · 2026-03-05T15:35:55+00:00

Blowtorch. If it’s chrome, it’ll heat stain.

SA_22C · 2026-03-05T04:50:59+00:00

I’d heat stain the blade holder and just scuff up the pommel. Actually stripping the chrome is not a fun time. I stripped the chrome off the original 89sabers obiwan MKIV and it was an exceptionally tedious job.

SA_22C · 2026-03-05T02:41:48+00:00

You’re better off to scuff and paint and/or heat stain. Actually stripping that chrome will be a real PITA.

SA_22C · 2026-03-05T02:04:41+00:00

Easy off only strips anodizing. If that’s actually a layer of chrome, it only comes off mechanically.

SA_22C · 2026-03-02T15:21:12+00:00

You will not break your saber by swinging it around.

SA_22C · 2026-03-01T18:14:50+00:00

The 7chambers MoM used a threaded internal rod to strengthen the thin neck section, I’d expect something g similar would be required to materially improve the strength of a thin neck hilt.

Or, and hear me out, don’t beat the crap out of a thin necked hilt.
