This is a stunning work of art. And it is absolutely a work of art. I've noticed you are the only saber smith to have attempted the saber on the covel of the TOR-Revan novel. I think it's because anything someone else did would not compare well to yours. Whoever ended up with this is very lucky indeed.
God, this is beautiful. Always just enough detail and not overdone. Allows the lightsaber to stand out in its entirety as opposed to one overpowering feature. Always balanced. Another masterpiece!
man, after spending hours upon hours as revan, and generally have gotten to know that era, this seems like exactly what he would have. more subtle, well thought out, even the two hand thing, he probably wouldn't have been as strong by the end of his life so it makes since that he would change to a two handed style. and the star forge designs are rad. brings me right back to that creepy old temple
Hey Rob! This is beautiful work you have done here. Always is. I have watched many of your TCSS tutorials and they have helped me figure out how to do my own sabers quite well, but there has always been one thing sorely missing. Custom chassis and crystal chambers. I dont see many tutorials around for them, and would love to see you make one. I realize that in order to keep selling what you sell you cant give away all your secrets, but if possible that is one tutorial I would love to see. Thank you!
+Liam Norris (ShoopWoop17) Thanks for your kind feedback! I probably will not do a video on crystal chassis for the simple reason that they are all so different. An that they are complex. It might take several long videos. Really - crystal chassis tend to be for more for advanced saber builders, and when one progresses to that level - you find ways to make your saber your own and do not need the tutorial vids.
Alright. Well, Ill have to come back to you once I get to that level. See if you are correct. Thanks for the quick reply, and thanks for all the help thus far!
beautifully done, a friend and i been looking into building our first stunt sabers because of your videos, just waiting for TCSS to be back in stock lol
I'm trying to figure out how you got the RICE port vertical directly under the Soundboard without risk of shorting. Always impressed with your designs and the thought put in them. I'm still learning on our first two sabers.
Wow, Rob. Amazing work as always. The new workshop just looks so epic. Must be really fun to work in :) What's the significance of the "Level 4" written on the door? P.S. Can't wait to see the new Corran Horn ;)
Rob I'm curious as to what camera you use? I'm shopping around for one that has good focus for close up shots and yours always seems to work really well. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
+Shoot2Thrill468 I use a Canon Rebel T3i. I use manual focus and set it on a fixed point - then try to keep my object at that distance while I show it.
I've been wanting to ask for a while but... Would you be willing to recreate this or something similar, but without the etching and an NBv4 or Crystal Shard?
+Rob Petkau yeah it looks like youve used transparent copper before.. which is one of my favorite powdercoats.. i ordered trans bronze, gold bronze, and penny gold to see if i cant get that pretty gold you have on the grip, im picky with shades so its tough sometimes to get exactly what you are looking for..
All these blades look so much brighter than other videos I've seen. What's the difference in the blade or LED or power source from everyone else's (saberforge, VV, others)? (noob here)
Did you machine the copper grips yourself, or is that from TCSS? The ribbed extensions I see on there have very narrow ridges (or at least appear that way) and I don't like that at all
+MAking Props If you go to the TCSS website, you'll find diffusion material. It's not rolled sheets, it's a piece of plastic that fits inside their blades.
+Andrew Stez I'm oldschool. I use pencil and paper - then basic image contruct in something like paint or gimp. The parts are largely MHS parts from TCSS which I do some cosmetic machining to
+Rob Petkau also do you have rumble motors that give you the sensitivity for the chained sound? love that feature and would love to be able to utilize it
+ELLIPTICAL GAMING Normally yes. But everything is out of stock right now due to extra high demand. I'm waiting on some parts and should have everything back in stock in March. genesiscustomsabers.com/?page_id=819
+Akira Shimizu (EmpireGaming) Hey, I modify MHS parts for at least some of my custom commission work like this one. I also have my own designs machined.
It looks like they go in place of SMD resistors. If they are B/G/W I believe they wouldn't need resistors? And with an R/G/B for your crystal chamber, do you use different posts for those? That's why only four 0402 for bar graph?
hey Rob, very interested in a same custom saber request of "Revan's Last". I am a huge fan of Darth Revan and i looking to invest good money in this exact saber right here. please msg me

Such a beautiful design, very well done! Both your Bane and Revan sabers leave me amazed.
This is prolly the sickest custom saber I've ever seen...
It's beautiful Rob! You have out done yourself! Very excited to receive this beauty!
these need to be mass produced
Once again, another beautiful piece from Rob! Love it!

This is a bad ass work of art!
This is a fine saber. As a great fan of Kotor and the novel of Revan I'm really jealous right now! ^^ You're a great designer, keep it up! :)
Pretty sweet saber considering the fact that you covered all the lore with Revan in it even to have a "krayt dragon pearl" crystal in it.
An absolutely stunning saber Rob!
Show us your finished workspace the garage door looks pretty sweet

Looks great Rob. Loved the chassis
amazing craftsmanship I'd love to buy all the lightsabers
Great work as always Rob!
This saber is awesome. I always wanted to build a saber to reflect the saber in the book. This looks just like the saber on the cover.
beautifully done, a friend and i been looking into building our first stunt sabers because of your videos, just waiting for TCSS to be back in stock lol
Good luck building it! Hope it turns out great!
wow, amazing sabers, i wish i had enough to order one, keep up the good work :D
Rob Really is like a Lightsaber Bob Ross
Awesome, another epic genesis custom saber.
What colour is that powder coating? It looks awesome!
It's a transparent brown.

P.S. Can't wait to see the new Corran Horn ;)
+NanoRex Thanks.
"Level 4" = the fourth shop I've been in. #1 was a closet!
+Rob Petkau Thats encouraging! I just finished my first from scratch stunt doing most of the work on my apartment patio or in the bathroom
Rob I'm curious as to what camera you use? I'm shopping around for one that has good focus for close up shots and yours always seems to work really well. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
+Shoot2Thrill468 I use a Canon Rebel T3i. I use manual focus and set it on a fixed point - then try to keep my object at that distance while I show it.
Awesome thank you!
This is awesome you should put this on a shop
Rob where do you get your crystals at I love the look of the pearl shaped crystal
I've been wanting to ask for a while but... Would you be willing to recreate this or something similar, but without the etching and an NBv4 or Crystal Shard?
Hi,
Unfortunately I will not be reproducing this design as it;s meant to be one-of-a-kind. I could modify an Ascend with some similar detail.
that crystal chamber is so awesome
Absolutely badass!
wow Rob, thats a beautiful one... i wanna know what name/color that gold is on the grip.. its beautiful...
+Dragon-Jedi-3000GT Thanks - it's a particular transparent brown I've used a few times
+Rob Petkau yeah it looks like youve used transparent copper before.. which is one of my favorite powdercoats.. i ordered trans bronze, gold bronze, and penny gold to see if i cant get that pretty gold you have on the grip, im picky with shades so its tough sometimes to get exactly what you are looking for..
been looking and waiting for any saber company to create this saber and in 5-6 years no one has :(
All these blades look so much brighter than other videos I've seen. What's the difference in the blade or LED or power source from everyone else's (saberforge, VV, others)? (noob here)
+sanshoryu Probaby camera and lighting differences. Keep in mind that a CF can drive more power to the LEDs too
Subscribed. Great stuff. Your sound fonts/configurations are the best I've seen, by far.
The emitter looks rather angelic
Did you machine the copper grips yourself, or is that from TCSS? The ribbed extensions I see on there have very narrow ridges (or at least appear that way) and I don't like that at all
I machined down TCSS grips and powdercoated them
besides the saber which is epic as always, the garage door is sick. are we going to get a tour of the new shop?
+Chandler Morris possibly
Rob Petkau i'll keep my eyes peeled then
do you make your own blades or are they bought in a shop? cause that diffusion is incredible for an in hilt lightsaber
+MAking Props Thanks - I make my own with TCSS parts
would you tell me how much.. .inches / feet / meters of rolled diffusing film there are in your blades?
if you want to keep it secret is fine
+MAking Props If you go to the TCSS website, you'll find diffusion material. It's not rolled sheets, it's a piece of plastic that fits inside their blades.
+Bruce Ferguson i live in spain. TCSS parts shipping is VEEERY expensive here
+MAking Props ive seen people use 5 ft of cellophane wrap and it works just fine.
I would love to have a GCS Elite saber one day. I need to do some saving, though. xD
When will you have more Ascends?
+Justin Dahl Early March
Do you ever do repeats?
What batteries do you use in your elite sabers with Cf...3.7 volt 18650 or 18500 7.8 volt batteries?
+WorthiestWilly 7.4 volt pack of two 18500 from TCSS
What software and tools do you use to create something as awesome as this? Do you use a program like Solidworks?
+Andrew Stez I'm oldschool. I use pencil and paper - then basic image contruct in something like paint or gimp. The parts are largely MHS parts from TCSS which I do some cosmetic machining to
Showing how you do all of that would be an awesome video. How much time would you say you spend making all the parts from planning to production?
excellent saber rob! wich sound board is this and where can i find it? can you do a video on how to install a soundboard please
+Nick Kennedy CF 7.5
+Rob Petkau thank you, its just such a well equipped board. ive looked around on a tutorial for wiring one for my custom build but nothing came up.
+Rob Petkau also do you have rumble motors that give you the sensitivity for the chained sound? love that feature and would love to be able to utilize it
+Nick Kennedy

+Zeaiclies De'Magician D u d e. youve literally just given me keys to the gold mine thank you so much
Omg it's beautiful I want this one how much?
It was sold -around $3000 if I recall.
Great saber. You completely made this concept instead of following his saber designs right?
in any way could I get a commission like this saber? I'm trying to complete my revan collection and I need his main hand saber
Unfortunately this one was meant to be one of a kind.
genesiscustomsabers.com/?page_id=15583
wow, thats genius....amazing
How much would a stunt saber of this cost?
Sorry - this is a one-of-a-kind saber. Besides I no longer build sabers without sound (stunt sabers)
Have you ever done a Darth Krayt/A'sharad Hett combo?
No. Not at this point in time.
Is there any way I can buy a lightsaber already built on your website
+ELLIPTICAL GAMING Normally yes. But everything is out of stock right now due to extra high demand. I'm waiting on some parts and should have everything back in stock in March.
genesiscustomsabers.com/?page_id=819
beautiful man!
Do you use modified MHS parts or machine your own? Your sabers look thinner than most.
+Akira Shimizu (EmpireGaming) Hey,
I modify MHS parts for at least some of my custom commission work like this one. I also have my own designs machined.
Rob Petkau That makes sense. Being an amateur myself, I love seeing peices of art like this and I wonder how the best in the business does it.
How long are most of your sabers? the body and blade separately
+Jacob Marks My hilts are usually 11" - "12, but it depends on the design. Most times I use a 36" blade with 34" showing
So Perfect! Like it!
I was curious, what kind of LED do you use for the crystal?
For this one it was an RGB 5mm LED
Fucking hell... So awesome
im inlove with Rogue sound, sexy spinning sound!
What kind of LEDs do you use for the bar graph? Super small
0402 size. They are like grains of salt
It looks like they go in place of SMD resistors. If they are B/G/W I believe they wouldn't need resistors? And with an R/G/B for your crystal chamber, do you use different posts for those? That's why only four 0402 for bar graph?
How much did this cost and would you make another?
+Nikola Alavanja This saber was over $2500. It's intended as a one-of-a-kind, so I will not make another just like it. Thanks for your interest!
+Rob Petkau so would you make another type of Revan saber or is that completely out of the question?
+Rob Petkau so would you make another type of Revan saber or is that completely out of the question?
+Rob Petkau so would you make another type of Revan saber or is that completely out of the question?
what does the crystal do?
+Bob2034 looks cool
Is there a way I can get a commission?
Only if it's a variation of my production series sabers. Email me for more info.
@@MadcowGenesis alright thank you I will probably email you once I have the money also how what is the usaul price range?
@@zachaboy Don't delay. The wait list is almost 2 years at present. Price varies from $600 to $2000
@@MadcowGenesis thank you but for a saber like that I'll wait more then a couple years and that's because of how well you make these
Where can I find this/ buy it
It was made and sold as a one-of-a-kind piece.
@@MadcowGenesis well is there a way to get one something like it or a custom saber for myself?
@@zachaboy Not exactly like this one. I periodically make high end sabers like this for auction.
Do u sell this saber? And if so how would I buy it??
Sorry. It was a custom commission. One of a kind.
ok thank you
How much would such a commission cost?
Sabers like this are typically around $3000
Rob Petkau Ouch. My Wallet hurts...
Rob Petkau Still nice Work :)
That's cool
Where do you get the chasis's at?
I make those for my high end sabers only.
How many watts is the LED?
+TheLegendOfBeyBlade Technically 12w, but watts does not = brightness.
Rob Petkau well yeah, technically speaking, but I'm just used to measuring the LED's brightness in watts. It actually measures heat I think.
Darth Malak disliked this.
