I\u2019ve been considering this decision prayerfully for a while now, and the short version is; it\u2019s time.<\/p>\n<p>I started making sabers around 1997, found the online community in 2004, and started calling myself \u201cGenesis Custom Lightsabers\u201d shortly after. When it became clear that my hobby was turning into a part time business, I changed the name to \u201cGenesis Custom Sabers\u201d, then finally went full time in 2010. Over that time I have met so many incredible people, and been gratified to see your response to my art and designs. I have had a dream job for 15 years, learned so much, and provided for my family. I am so grateful.<\/p>\n<p>I may still make and sell the odd saber. I will definitely always be involved in creative stuff and making. But for now I will take some time off to rest and renew. During that time I will only respond to the most urgent emails.<\/p>\n<p>I am currently working on an arrangement for someone to take over any servicing or repair work my customers may require in the future. I will post those details when I have them.<\/p>\n<p>The website and social media will stay up. I will make announcements primarily through the GCS facebook page. Instagram and X accounts will follow my creative work and journey in the Kingdom Of God as a disciple of Jesus. You are invited to come along for the ride!<\/p>\n<p>Thank You GCS Nation! May the Force be with you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>I retain all rights to my designs and creative works.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>For future servicing and repair of your GCS saber p<strong>lease contact these fine people with confidence:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vaders Vault<\/strong><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/vadersvault.com\/contact-us\/\">https:\/\/vadersvault.com\/contact-us\/<\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Robert McGuire<\/strong><br \/>\nravensabers2014@gmail.com<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ravensabers\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ravensabers\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; June 18, 2025 It is with deep feelings of profound gratitude that I am announcing the closing of Genesis Custom Sabers.
