I will proudly say both my wife and I are. She is a Yoda fan and I am a Fett fan, mostly Boba.

That is awesome work! I've been going back and forth on having a Boba Fett helmet owb holster made for my glock. Maybe one day lol.
 
:thumbup:Nice! The force is strong in this one. :D Will you be making any for the IPhone?
 
Nice sir. Very nice. I imagine you cut that kydex whilst hot?

I won't tell... I promise....

Love the original three movies ! Kinda lost on the others lol. But I remember seeing the first ones on the big screen.

Very nice work !!
 
Looks like you've done a lot of special modifications yourself. ;)

Now for the important question:
Do you have a bad feeling about this December?!?!?!?

You real Sith Lords will know what I'm on about... :D
 
I never really got into Star Wars but I do like it when you find the occasional gem who can speak like Yoda.

I'm a huge Star Wars nerd! Even watch the new Rebels animated show with my 3-year old son.

I've gone as far as making my own lightsaber hilts from PVC and chrome pipe. Beat that Mr. Brown! :D

Geek Level = Jedi Master

P.S. Can I get one of those with the Rebel Alliance logo for my iPhone? :-D
 
My wife and I are big fans of the original 3, moderate fans of the Prequel 3, and have reserved optimism about the upcoming 3. Fingers crossed.
 
Ha!

I was a fan since 1977 and 8 years old. Found out my SIL's husband - barely pushing 40 - is a HUGE nerd. Has an unopened Mil-Fal among other untouched first-gen SW beauties.

I one-upped him for my son. Our TV is in the basement - rumpus room, TV room, rec room - you call it what you will. 15 years later - still nothing on those walls. So on Black Friday, I scored about $400 worth of decals from FatHead. Full size Mil-Fal, Star Destroyer, Death Star II and various X-wing and Tie Fighters flying around the basement walls. It's pretty cool.

Oh, my wife is a big animated series fan. She rematches Clone Wars episodes by herself and is getting immersed in the new animated pre-SW series.
 
As far as the Laser work goes (this is more of a public service announcement for safety :) ) ;

1.Kydex is very toxic when burned or vaporized, even deadly, so you can not use a hobby machine, it will kill you and at best make you very ill.

2.It takes a Very expensive (30 to 60k) laser to burn through or even come close to making the marks deep enough for what I wanted to do so it was not done in house, I paid an expert to do it.

3.Again kydex is very toxic/deadly when burned so they have a super filter system and they feel safe doing it.

4.I went to 7 or 8 different laser places that would not do it at all because of the deadly fumes and "the smoke from the burning kydex will ruin the emitter" some said, well actually a lot of them said that.
My guy's family have been doing laser work for years (decades) and has quite a heavy duty filtration/exhaust system and he feels confident that it is fine. They have done over 200 pieces for me so far.
