:roll: Hey guys, I just wanted to share some pics of my very first saber. I respect everyone who has posted here. There are some truly nice sabers here.
It is an EL saber (green) in a 1.25 in sink tube. I have been working on an off on this for a long time. Made a few mistakes, but hey we all learn from our mistakes right? The ELwire was purchased from an auto parts store (5 ft long) which limited my blade to 30". It did have it's own inverter which I had to remove from the housing. Money is really tight at the moment so I had to compromise on a lot of things. Wont' happen again. It was incredibly hard finding pieces to fit. My next one (which I am currently working on) will be an LED. Any suggestions will be helpful.
Pics are from phone so don't rag too much. Please let me know what you think. I can handle criticism. Advice from experienced builders would be most appreciated. Thanks guys and may The Force Be With You.

The only bad thing is you can see the wire in the blace.
