I don't want sound right now but will definitely add it later as this is a stunt saber.

building a light saber can be ether a simple task, or a several month process. depends on exactly what you want and how challenging the tasks are. usually custom milling detailing on some levels can get a bit tedious, there are TUNS of how-tos and tutorial threads/videos on building them. Novastar has some amazing sink-tube sabers to show for basics. you can blame him as to why i'm now building them... also if you have never soldered before. i highly suggest practicing on some scrap bits first. last thing you want is to accidentally remove a SMD device on a $180 CF board

the cool thing about this hobby is the project is never fully complete. there is always upgrading,parts swap, and detailing to do.
anyway. best of luck on your saber forging!
