Yowza! Nice design!

I'm generally not a fan of curved-hilt sabers... I suppose mostly because it's a silly idea for a real sword. Your excellent design and beautiful renderings are starting to...

I think you should just send the blade holder to me, because that is a nice blade holder! I wish those had been in stock 6 months ago!

I agree with Titoshi - the current contrast is nice. ...

Very nice!

Also wondering why you went for white w/filtes - my green K2s are awesome! ;)

What's your power source? Very nice, compact hilt!

People can use what they like, but it astounds me that anyone would use a raster program (MS Paint??? Come on, at least download Paint.NET) for something vector programs are ideally suited for. ...

I love this new choke piece!

Inkscape lets you draw and manipulate shapes, so you don't have to do it freehand. It also has a good gradient editor, so you can easily adjust the gradient that gives parts a metallic look. Using...

If you're having trouble getting the wire to stick to the K2 solder pads (which is a common problem), an easy way of getting around it (also common ;)) is to wrap your wire around the wire coming off...

Well, imagine you're reading some Chinese forum (something you pretty much never do, since you don't know Chinese) and you see a cool sig... you have no idea what it says on it, but the letters look...

Regarding a question about a good image-editing app to use - I find inkscape to be very nice for saber parts.

Some parts that can be used in inkscape:...

It would be a good idea to include more details on the P4 LEDs in the shop, like recommended/max amperage, Vf, and which lens holder to use with it.

(Yes, I know this info can be found by...

I see this "shhhh don't talk about buying things elsewhere" stuff on the forum from time to time, but never from Tim.

I think a certain level of common sense and respect for Tim is reasonable, but...

Anyone happen to have installed their recharge port without using the washer and nut? And still know where they are? And feel confident they won't ever want them? If you can answer yes to all that...

As usual, really nice stuff Jay!

I have developed a newfound respect for the quality and precision of work you do with these sabers - I just built two very simple, basic sink-tube sabers and it...

You could also save some money, space, and extend your run-time by running a K2 green with a 1000mA buckpuck. I have two, and they're very bright. I wish I had a 1400mA setup for comparison... but...

If they appear to be really bright, it's just a trick of photography.

From what I've seen on the boards, it looks like the best setup for bright yellow (while keeping it relatively simple) is a...

I tried it with a green K2 @ 1A. Normally, it's really bright and I love it. With just 1 or 2 wraps of green polyp (with clear polyp inside it), the brightness is decreased too much for my tastes. ...

Fear the fingerhorns!

I think the point here is just to try and make sure that when you give advice, it's accurate. It's great that you post here and share what you know, Hasid, but it's good to include any other...

Think about where lightsaber tech was five years ago... and where it is now. Tech that is awesome right now will likely be snickered at (or remembered with fond nostalgia) in 5 years.

I've seen...

flayvuhz! i has them all!

NICE!

That costume rocks. You really don't see enough sand people... I guess Anakin's rampage put the fear of plasma in them.

Funny timing, this post - I was just about to add another post about amber to an older thread.

I should preface my statements with the fact that my saber experience is fairly limited - 2 blue MR...

How can I securely fix a nut to the inside of a sink tube hilt? What I'd like to do is glue(?) the nut that screws onto the recharge port to the inside of the hilt and screw the port into the nut...

Yeah, no worries, I've figured out what I need, so feel free to send this thread wherever.

However... for the sake of others searching for this info in the future, it might be better to continue...

Mooooost excellent, thank you for the info.

If anyone's looking for some cheap kill plugs (that you may already have laying around the house), small sprinkler tube joiners work nicely.
