Well I had just finally finished the first of my Stunt Sabers and was doing a double UV in to a back spin when it slipped out of my hand hit the concrete broke the gender changer(extension piece coupler) and not only the Tip is missing(in Pool or Planter)? I found the mirror. But after a couple of Jager Shots and Himbeer Weisse Bier I am feeling much more relaxed and less frutrated, also watching a Space Above and Beyond Episode followed by the Bionic Woman didn't hurt either. Man how I hate expensive nights like this, I am definitely loosing the gender changer and going with the Thicker Wall Coupler.   |

Sorry GF, but after fixing my Mace Saber, which I damaged the EXACT *@###% way, you should have known better.
I hope you were able to fix everything you broke on your saber as you fixed mine.

Actually VK there is nothing $ cant fix, I was facing the grass but what actually happened is the coupler broke and the short end stayed in my hand the rest launched. But here is the bright side, I mentioned this on a Thread on the CSS and now I officially am a Disclaimer Creator and Tim is going to reimburse me for the couplers and I am ordering a pair 3 times as expensive ones for both sabers and never using these again.I will have to replace the Blade but I can cut the old one in to a short one so you can simulate like you are stabbing or cutting through things , like I saw Corbin do at C4, there is a Pic of him Killing Durge. Oh well Almost There, Stay on Target. PS: BarJedi I will also bring my Cutter with me Sunday if we have to shorten your blade a little, it is a shame Ultra Hot Glues the film in that will be the Tricky Part to trim it just right to leave room for the mirror. Thanks to Gel-uh-Kahn I learned a new trick to make the Film removable and adjustable since after a while it develops crinkles in it.  |

Oh and I definitely think these couplers are worthless, I was doing some spins last night and noticed that the other one is also starting to come apart, the good news is the HD ones are coming tommorrow, so I am glad I decided to replace them both. Yeah as I was telling Ramz today someone else had one break while spinning but the Happy Ending of this story is Tim free of charge gave me a HD one for my troubles and I am now officially a Creator of a Disclaimer: www.thecustomsabershop.com/pc-940-33-gender-changer.aspx |
