I appreciate you posting this man! It took a few sittings to get to the end but totally worth watching. The closest thing we have to a Morgan Freeman narrated saber demo. 😆
I can't lie and say I watched the whole thing, but most of it. I'm really happy to see another one of your visions become a reality. It looks awesome Jeremy, congrats dude 👏
@@warrenmckay6209 I don’t blame you, it’s a long one and most of it is install stuff but I do appreciate you giving it a go and taking the time. Thanks man
No problem just saw the Revanted. Love that too just finished mine with Shtok’s chassis and boy was that a challenge with wire management lol but all good a great learning experience for my first install

Absolutely amazing mate 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Didn’t say this in my earlier comment but thanks also for the tutorial! Really helpful
Can't wait to get my hands on this!
Love this saber design man! I’m sure you worked very hard on it and it shows! Love to see more designs from ya
@@sawyerbrown19111 thank you sir 🙏
I neeeeeeed this!!! What an amazing job! Love your work!
@@11BRelo thank you so much

Nice saber! Thanks for the video😉
@@joannakleinheksel-horn3494 thank you
Dude I love this hilt so much
@@NerfherderCustoms thank you man, that means a lot coming from you. I’ll be sending this and a few other to you this coming week
Wow. Any idea when this will be available?
@@Cybermage7 should be available in about a month sir 🙏
Did you use aluminum black on brass pieces? Or are those brass colored parts not actually brass?
@@spacemancoco these questions are covered in detail in the video
@@Solo_Sabers ooof how did I miss that. Ok thanks!
