Le sigh... The lead time on Etsy is still remarkably inaccurate for my first Etsy order. I hope this doesn't last; I have three other orders. But my first order is now.. 2 weeks to the day after ordering it changed to shipped. 12 days later, it's still on shipped and hasn't left SF. Pretty annoying..

I think SF parts are machined overseas.

Really? On FB I saw some photos of what was their machineshop, thought they did most of their parts themselves.

Happy to report that my saber has arrived. Unfortunately I'm away and still won't get my hands on it for another week.

Nah. Aside from that being what I remember hearing, things like ordering a Reliant without a control box. It still has the holes for the box because they come pre made that way. There are a handful of things I've heard you can't get done because of they way the parts are made when they arrive at their shop.

To quote DarthMario from another thread:
"No, they send the designs for parts to a supplier overseas. Once SF receives the machined parts, they clean them up, make adjustments, do the weathering, and the electronics. This allows them to keep costs low for their customers."
