“Imagination is one of the most profound human qualities. Every great achievement in human history has started as a work of imagination.” Beginning life as a passion project, Genesis Custom Sabers has since grown into Rob Petkau’s full time job. From cobbled together ‘junk sabers’ to immaculately crafted illuminated swords, Rob has honed his craft over the years, and now places only the highest quality sabers in the hands of wannabe Jedis. In this episode Rob explores the evolution of his designs, and how advances in technology have allowed him to create perfectly custom fit blades. He explains how he creates and designs the sound fonts that bring the sabers to life. And he discusses the immense appreciation he has for his fans, some who treat their sabers as ‘shelf queens’, and others, like Jimmy, who test (and break) them in combat.    

Streamlined, efficient, euphoric. Arc is a UK-based team that’s reimagining the future of adventure - creating high-end, luxury electric motorbikes, supported by PTC partner Root Solutions, part of the PDS Vision Group. Arc’s first product, the Vector, is an elite motorbike that pushes the boundaries of our imagination. As a brand-new project, it has no legacy to follow, so the team has had real creative freedom - going back to square one to design something truly unique. Just as every customer is different, every Vector will be unique as well. To find out how these bespoke machines are being crafted, our producer Hannah Dean visited Arc’s HQ in Coventry to meet the company’s founder, Mark Truman.
