The only problems with having the two of them fight would be: 1 - every other duel would seem worthless afterward, and 2 - one of them wouldn't survive, and that would ruin the chances of ever having another duel EVER, since it couldn't match the quality.

    I am even more blown away by your skills. The speed of your movements is insane.
    If you EVER visit Switzerland and are willing to teach someone 50+ a few beginners lessons - I would be jumping for joy. I have NO skills at all, but I love my Flowsaber so much that it would be so nice to have some trainings lessons with an expert like you.

    @zep4814 7 років тому +40

    You mentioned in the beginning that you like the fact that the sabre moves naturally, that you do not have to fight it.
    That is exactly the reason for the solid steel pommel, to compensate for the weight of the blade.
    It could break your jaw if you are not careful, but without the weight at the end the blade would not work this smoothly.

    • @ToyKeeper
      @ToyKeeper 7 років тому +1

      In one of my sabers, I had to wrap lead foil around the battery to shift the balance toward the back. Also could use a lighter-weight blade to help with the same goal. Seems like Flowsaber solved this with a really heavy pommel.

    • @michelle-c-smith
      @michelle-c-smith  7 років тому +4

      I don't believe the weight is necessary. Some of my favourite props are my lighter ones.

    • @ToyKeeper
      @ToyKeeper 7 років тому +3

      Less weight would definitely be nice. I'm hoping to use a light saber as a flow wand, combining techniques from both to make it look like I'm using the force to levitate the saber sometimes, and it'll be really hard to do unless I can get the weight down. Would love to see what others can do with this too... the plan is to treat it like a long-string flow wand anchored to a choker or collar. It should mostly still be able to do normal saber spins, with the added bonus of being able to let go now and then for what appears to be hands-free moves.

    • @electron5271
      @electron5271 6 років тому +1

      Yet, without the weight at the end, the weight distribution of the whole saber would be changed, and while it would be easy for them to change the material of the end bit to make it lighter, it may not be easy to change the material of everything else to compensate for the change.

    • @johnhogue9402
      @johnhogue9402 6 років тому +3

  • @themovementschool8327
    @themovementschool8327 4 роки тому +1

    Great review, great Saber!
    Here are some easy fixes for your complaints...
    Button:
    You nailed it, it needs a long shut off switch. If you're savvy with a soldering iron, you can swap it out yourself without too much trouble.
    Emitter:
    Personally, I'd just grab a farriers rasp and file the edges down, then smooth them out with sandpaper. Easy fix.
    Blade Length:
    Either stick a shorter blade in it or cut the blade length down with a skilsaw or saws-all, then sand the edge. This will allow you to get to the exact length you actually want.
    Pummel Weight:
    If you reduce the weight of the pummel it will not spin the same, or as easily. If they reduce the pummel weight they will need to also reduce all hilt weight to maintain the ratio. Also adding more hilt length will increase the overall weight. So this one is not really an easy fix. You need the counterweight to generate good centrifugal force, but you don't want it to be heavy to the point of becoming an essential mace. You could take a drill bit and core out the central interior of the pommel cap to reduce the weight. Just bear in mind doing so will change the way the saber spins.
    Love your vids, Hope these suggestions help. :)

    I write fantasy stories with energy swords, that are similar to lightsabers from Star Wars. Your videos are nice inspiration.
    Energy swords from my setting are ideal for this type of combat. That's because the wielder actually has limited control over the shape of the blade. This makes spinning a lot more useful because you can change the shape of the blade mid-swing and attack. And also VERY IMPORTANT is the fact that energy blade is actually shaped and shielded in subconscious level telekinetically to flow around the wielder instead of hurting his/her body.
    It's great to watch your videos since it gets me the grasp on how the fighting style with energy swords would look like in my setting.😎

    • @Silverfirefly1

      If we can master projected personal forcefields, we can control the physical via virtual objects. A blade that is an extension of your personal field but otherwise doesn't exist can be treated as virtual by you but is made very functional outside of the field.

    Your reviews are so In depth and helpful! Thank you! I'm glad you are so prominent in this culture, a lot of how you like your saber set up is exactly how i feel i want mine built.
    They don't sell gen 1 any more, Maybe I'll find one for sale somewhere, This hilt reminds me of the flamberge v2 from Ultrasabers, which is the one i am currently waiting on, but i put a simple sleek emitter, not the 3 bladed cross gaurd.
    I probably would have got one of these if i had found out sooner, but even now they are all out of stock.
    Would love to see a review if you ever do get a gen 2! I am def. Going to get a flowsaber eventually.
    Got back into this hobby, as a mental health thing for myself..

    • @r3zin
      @r3zin 5 років тому +2

      taken in context, they all do make sense
      1:22 - lol click it. at that exact time, she specifically says "the way the weight is evenly distributed throughout the saber is really nice". so here she's talking about the overall balance of prop and how it is better than some of the other sabers specifically for spinning.
      8:13 - if you back up to 7:50, now she talking about the overall weight. its heavier than the other sabers and she doesn't like that all the weight is centered in the solid metal cap because a missed spin and that hitting you is going to leave a mark.
      9:50 - ummm... you cut out the context that is within the same sentence lol... back it up to 9:47 and she says, "out of all my 3 lightsabers that I have, this is my favorite by far because it is weighted beautifully for SPINNING". see also goes on to say that she likes others for combat better but for tricks, this is her go to.
      So they all do make sense, you just segmented parts that sounded conflicting but she actually explains everything in detail.

    Take a look at The Custom Saber Shop online. You could put together a hilt of whatever length you like and a very plain one that works for twirling. There is a tool as part of their forum site that allows you to select different hilts, pommels, extensions, etc to see what the saber will look like and how long it will be.
    I am in no way affiliated with them but am considering building and purchasing one from them.
    I used to be a Drum Major and my skills are not what they used to be but you have inspired me to have some fun with it all again!

  • @rosmanminiatures
    @rosmanminiatures 6 років тому +4

    I've done a light saber from scratch a month ago, mine is inspired (not copied) from the original graflex one, and has bulky things on the hilt. Next i'm going to build will be "cleaner" (and red bladed 😈) .
    One thing i have searched is a button that is easy to turn on but difficult to turn off, mine has light too, as you have on that sword hilt. If you press only a bit it works as a pulsating button, but if you press a bit more deep it stays on without having to press it all time. That makes when turning off you have to press deeper and never ever it will turn off randomly when using it.
    Another thing i have calculated is the lenght it has to had having in mind my height, because, if not, it could touch the floor.
    You could see it here in some images and videos:
    instagram.com/p/Be9DBTmFdiP/
    If you search on my gallery you could see the stand i have done by scratch too.
    Congrats for your channel, i love your videos!!

  • @danmccann8813
    @danmccann8813 6 років тому +1

    Like when you use washers to balance some of your staves the weight of the pommel is what balances out the blade. Perhaps they should have something padded there around that piece.
    Have a couple friends that have some early Saberfoge sabers, that had that sharp edge on elongated cutouts down the hilt. It also had a couple of points too, but when handling those edges did draw blood unexpectedly, and they filed those edges to round them over. The sabers became known as "Blood-Sabers" in our circles.
    On the Switch, you need a momentary switch, but really require the added electronics that are in the sound cards. That's why stunt sabers are usually a latching switch.
    Also noticed the Set Screws (especially the one for blade retention) look like they might not be flush or recessed below the surface. The threads on those can be almost as sharp as those other edges, especially with repeated contact. Get a set screw 1/8" or 1/16" shorter. Most hardware stores carry them and easy to replace.
    You're doing some amazing stuff!! Thanks for keeping people inspired!

    The reason why the blade emitter (?) has those notches, is because it is the top end of a Mag-Lite flashlight! I do security work and I recognized that right off the bat. The classic style is rounded, have them/tell them to use that one.

    I had the same switch problem with a different company what I did is I cut a switch gaurd out of a foam matt then hot melt glued it on going around the side of the piece then just a little over the side curve of the saber so it won't come off when doing a manuvere. You probably could also contact a mold maker to make a casting of the but cap end and then cast it in foam also.
