OHHH! I had those shoes when I was a kid. (Not that long ago, mind you). They were all I wore between like 1st and 3rd grade. I had no idea they were still around. Fantastic. (Too bad they only make...

Thanks Maverick! It's good advice! I probably just need to take a few hours every week and practice this stuff until I get good at it. :D

I'm not sure this really belongs here (hah, it's my own...

Ohhh, pretty! Very sleek and simple, I like it! Looks like a great dueling/spinning saber. And an ultrasound in there? VERY nice. :D

Have fun with it!

Hey, don't give us too little credit. I watched A-Team reruns most of my childhood. My parents knew it was good wholesome entertainment. That and MacGuyver. ;) :D

But you've gotta look goooood while fighting! ;)

No, I've noticed the same thing. But don't discount spinning just because it's no good in a fight. Spinning is closer to choreographed movie...

Hello Kitty saber? I hope you intend to post pictures here, as I HAVE to see this when it's done. Pretty sure my cousin will get a kick out of it, as well. And then she'll want one.

Okay guys. So as a relatively new saber builder (and relatively new builder of anything, really), I've had times when I've gotten all the recommended tools and materials, got a perfect workspace with...

You mentioned space constraints, but you can cram a sound board, resistor, 4AAA battery pack, and speaker (give or take, depending on your board) into a space a little smaller than a MHS standard...

Very cool design! But yeah, keep in mind, this is.. going to be about 16" long. If that's your style, great! But just to make sure you know. ;)

D'oh. Thanks Jay-gon. That's totally a better idea. You wouldn't even need any resistors then, right? I was just thinking it would underdrive them too much. :oops: And I thought I was getting the...

You could run this setup off a spst switch. Just attach both wires to the one connection. No need for a double. You'll only need a dpdt if you need to use two completely independent circuits, which...

Almost 22, will be in August. I feel so... young... for once!

I hope to have a long career of saber building ahead of me! :D

I'd be interested in reading something like that too, actually!

While wearing my saber around all the time may not be feasible for me, I at least carry it around in my pack along with a spare...

Well, if you wired them up in parallel, the sound would fire more often. The problem with mine is that it fires at the wrong times, like when I'm barely tilting the saber, and doesn't go at all when...

Good point. You could probably just disconnect the clash and motion sensors then, and it would work fine.

You know, I think I might try replacing my motion sensor with a tiny momentary switch,...

Ohhhh, no good. I nearly blew up my battery pack in a similar way when I was building my first saber.

You know, I think just taking out the motion sensor entirely might be the best idea on the...

Well, you could use a dpst switch, (or a dpdt) that will let you control two independent circuits with a single switch. Or, if you're using pucks, you could wire it up so both lights are on a single...

I'm in the same boat as you, Tekka, I'm running my saber off a Hasbro, and the lame swing sound is starting to get to me to the point where I want to just yank out the sound module (or just disable...

Absolutely fantastic. Every feature I could want in the builder, AND MORE. Thanks so much! Truly an amazing utility for those of us who aren't prone to messing around in image editing software. Or...

Heh heh, I have my saber with me at work, it's hanging up on my cubicle wall with some string and thumb tacks. Not the best setup, but I just finished the thing yesterday. Makes for good impressive...

Wow, very impressive! Sure blows my first design out of the water, by like a MILE. Personally, I like the choke points, always had a weakness for them for some reason. They make it classier than...

Hey, welcome to the forums. I learned everything I needed to know to make a basic saber with sound within a week or two of joining, without even asking a single question! Just explore the forums and...

Oh! Interested! It's difficult for me to go too far because of work, but this sounds like too much fun to pass on.

I'm in Seattle, WA (and the Seattle area) I'm new to MHS and saber dueling, but...

Hi Ret! I already welcomed you in your other thread, but what the heck, right? :D

This is a great place, lots of knowledgeable helpful people, and an awesome place to get started building some...

I really do wish I was near some of you guys so I could get into this, because dueling is what these sabers are all about, at least for me!

I think we do need some way, at least, for people to...
