I'm Schmots,

I recently ordered a Silver Knight and wanted to join the forums. I spent along time looking at different saber build companies and found that saber forge seems to make the best product, so I am very excited. What sold me fully was the youtube video showing the 'twist to change color' option of the tier 4 features. I made sure to get that.

I like designing and making sabers myself as well. I use fusion 360 for my designs and 3d print them and then paint them. I don't have any that aren't 3d printed. Never done a "home depot" saber or bought individual parts. None of the ones I do have sound or lights, so again looking forward to when I receive my saber forge.

Hi all,

I've been lurking for the past few weeks while I decided where I am going to purchase my first custom saber. The hilt designs and upcoming ASP have sold me on SF.

A little about myself, I was born in 80, a lifelong SW fan. I train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing when not at my 9 to 5. Hopefully starting kendo, or something similar soon for the sole purpose of becoming more proficient with my saber of course.

See you 'round the forum.

Welcome schmots and Davin!

To schmots, you have ordered a very exclusive Saber, there haven't been many round here but they are an elegant design, you should stand out of the crowd with it! We have a few "amateur" Saber designers on this site and they frequently post their designs in the "First ASP Designs" and "Themed Saber" threads. We haven't heard about many printed Sabers so that will be an interesting subject.

To Davin, glad you have come out of the shadows and joined. Kendo is from what I have learned a good basis to start Saber combat as George Lucas based the original Saber fighting styles on the oriental disciplines. Your dedication to Jiu Jitsu will also help.

As New Members may I point your attention to the FAQ's and Forum Rules pages. They will give you a lot of answers to questions you may have, and some you hadn't considered. They also help to keep the forum running smoothly.
The link is here:

FAQ's and Forum Rules

I look forward tor reading more of your contributions in the future, enjoy the forum!

Wow, you are really good about greeting all of us new members, for which I am duly grateful. I don't think I could keep up with it. (You don't moonlight as a Wal-Mart greeter do you?)
I am chaos in order's guise.

Hi Darth Vexing,

Now there's a thought to raise some funds for my next Saber, but if I did I feel I would be neglecting my calling! I have difficulty keeping up as I am in the UK and the majority of you great members are either on the American continent or as my friend OvrcAHst is, in Australasia so I am caught in the middle of all the time zones. I have been known to pull 14hr shifts on here!

Thank you for the kind comments, I remember when I got onto this hobby, as an owner of an SF Saber 5 months ago, it can be daunting. So if I can make people feel welcome and help them into our great hobby here then that's good.

Kind regards,

For Tyeth

p.s. And Don't worry if I appear to go offline for a long time every now and then, I always come back!

Hello!

Been hanging around Sarber Forge for a while now and finally took the plunge... OR at least I'm hoping to really soon and order for first saber. I've gone by many nick names over the years, but Antares has been with me the longest.

I've been a fan of the Star Wars universe ever since I saw the first movie in 1977 and ever since Ive dreamed of owning my own saber. And now that may become a reallity very soon.

Heya! I recently received my Champion level Acolyte that I ordered off the Saber Forge Etsy and decided to join this forum to meet and chat with other saber owners and Star Wars fans.

I'm from Hoth, err, I mean Canada and have been a Star Wars fan since as long as I can remember. I had always wanted a Lightsaber and bought a toy one from Toys R Us around the time Episode 1 came out, then a Force FX green Luke Skywalker saber later on. Oddly enough, I never knew saber making companies existed until a few months ago when a buddy of mine brought his Saber Forge saber to the huge saber meet in Toronto. I started saving up for my own the very next day. :p

Outside of Star Wars, I'm a bit of a comics nerd, love board games and video games, and am an avid reader. You can probably see from my user pic that I'm a fan of Punisher, so I just can't wait for the new season of Daredevil to be released! Zombie movies are also a huge passion of mine. The original Dawn of the Dead's my favourite.

And, that's me in a nutshell! I'm looking forward to get to know all of you!

Welcomes go out to, Furvious, monkeyofshaolin and Notries!

I am sure the Moderators wait till they think I'm offline then display New Members' messages! Well I see them all and am happy to meet you.

I hope while you were lurking, both Furvious an Notries liked what you saw of this great forum, and that you have learned some useful tips and tricks. These should make the process of getting your first Sabers a bit more straightforward.
To monkeyofshaolin, your love of comics, gaming and film means you'll find a lot of like-minded folks willing to chat.We'd also like to hear about your Acolyte, as we love to see people get their new pride and joy!

As newcomers, if you need any help I recommend reading the famous FAQ's and Forum Rules. These help explain the jargon used here and makes navigating around the site easier, and keep it running smoothly. Here is the link:

I look forward to chatting to you all in the future,

Welcome to all who have come along in the past couple of weeks. I look forward to seeing you around the forum!
Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

Hi everyone! I'm Savannah Barber and I am currently a Junior in college studying Computer Science! I'm from South Carolina and currently reside in Florence SC. I have a huge love for all things tech and sci-fi (for I am a major nerd) :P

I have always wanted my own lightsaber since I was a kid. I used to have the little plastic ones I would always go crazy with when I was in elementary school, but those days have long passed. About 6 weeks ago I stumbled across SF on Etsy and was amazed at how real the sabers look! I was also impressed at how durable they are for dueling. I knew immediately that I had to get one of my own and to finally have the lightsaber I always dreamed of!

So on February 2nd, I placed an order for a Champion edition Weathered Sinister Prophecy with a 32" Arctic Blue LED blade and Viridium Font. I'm extremely excited to receive it by the end of the semester hopefully, as I feel like I've definitely earned it! :lol:

Once I get it I will definitely share pics and commentary with everyone here!

Welcome Savannah!

I think you are in for quite a treat when that saber arrives. Compared to the ones you have had up to now, this is a quantum leap in coolness!

The only downside is (if you can consider it a downside) that for folks like us, it tends to spark the desire to also dress the part! I mean, if you got the saber, you gotta totally own the look! At least it did with me. I have not yet found a costume that fits the look I am going for, but the mere fact that I am going for a particular look means I am already mentally there, and just looking for the right thing to finish it. It does not hit everybody that way, but I dare you not to imagine yourself in a Jedi or Sith outfit when you are standing in front of a mirror with that ignited saber, in the photo op pose of your choice. B) :silly: ;)
Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

Welcome Savannah!

I see you have met our Moderator, Brax, and have been warmly welcomed!
We have a few folks on the forum who are very interested in Computer Sciences, one of which is called Agdev. He even has his own 8-bit profile avatar!
These Sabers are amazing and the Sinister Prophecy has a very unique character to it! You will stand out in a crowd with this Saber!

And I firmly believe that hard work should be rewarded, so enjoy your saber when it arrives, young Padawan!

I look forward to having the chance to chat in future,

kind regards,
For Tyeth

Welcome Jvela93.
I am also from Ohio, welcome to the forum. I did a lot of research before landing on Saber Forge as it is a bit of an investment. I hope you are happy with it.


Welcome Savannah, congrats on the Sinister Prophecy.
Waiting is the hardest part, but sounds like you picked a great design. Enjoy.


I hope you both decide to share your sabers with the rest of the forum. Welcome.

I'm Cody I just found out that high quality custom sabers are a thing when I saw an ad for saberforge on facebook in january and I knew I had to get one and I did the moment I filed my tax return. I ordered a weathered viper with 12w cyan quick connects and I am just going nuts waiting I cant stop looking up saberforge reviews and I'm already thinking of a custom to get done and the more I see that saberforge can do with a saber the more it changes. I'm rally impressed with everything they do.
