Read over the tutorials posted above. Between my personal saber that I just posted updates on, and this one, this was my first experience with working with acid. It was fun, but you do need to...

I agree, and I held back. Compared to the Jedi hilts that I have done that were highly polished, I wanted something darker. These were simple hilts, not a lot of flare to them due to their owners...

This is a build that I created for one of the ladies in the Buffalo FanForce Chapter that I belong to. She portrays a Sith character, and as hard as she tries, she is just way too sweet to really...

I finished my saber this past week in time for Star Wars Night at the ballpark (Buffalo Bison’s Star Wars Night). I gutted the saber and started over with the electronics as I wasn’t happy with my...

More to the point, the BuckPuck minimum forward voltage is 5V, which I believe is the max forward voltage allowed by the NB. Running either Lithium batteries or NiMH, you will either be below the...

Thanks FJK - I found some resistors online and have parts in transit. I'll post an update on my other thread when I have some more pictures and this time I'll include the chassis and wiring.

Can I jump on this discussion? I'm having some trouble figuring out which resistor to go with on my build. I had a PC1.6 in my saber until last night. Didn't like the way it fit into the ribbed...

Ok, thanks. It's been a while since I've seen someone heat treat metal. For consistency, I'm going to stick with the acid etch/weathering as I like the texture it produces. I have a saber to build...

In a word.....Nice!!!

Thanks all for the feedback. I really appreciate it. I'm drawing some concept art to extend some etching onto the body of the saber. I'm looking at some specific areas that I would like to etch,...

I posted a while ago a saber that I installed my first soundboard in. Last year, a connection broke in the saber about two weeks before a major event and I rewired the saber as a stunt hilt without...

I'm using Schedule 40. I found a local chain that has thinner walled pipe that might work as a sheath if I don't go past the emitter, but it's much more expensive. I've also cut a sink pipe as a...

Figured I would post to this thread, I'm already upgrading this saber. I have an event in June which I will be portraying a Jedi. I decided to go as a Jedi Sentinel and swap out the Seoul P4 Red...

I just completed another PVC build. A coworker saw the saber that I made for my nephew and wanted one for a friend. I had played around a little with the design work and came up with this. The PVC...

Hey - thanks guys!

The wrap is actually two layers. I had to do this to build up to the band and pommel. I had vinyl adhesive, but if you plan on doing this, don't waste your time or money. I...

I can’t let Ripper have all the fun with PVC sabers…

This is actually my second PVC saber project and the third saber that I’ve built in 6 months. This one, like my first PVC build, is a gift. ...

Thanks All.

I hadn't considered the trim rings. I just looked those up on TCSS and I might pick one up on my next order. I didn't get good pics of the wiring and considering how tedious it was...

After months of reading, studying, saving money, trial and error, and finally upgrading some parts, I have completed my first Petit Crouton lightsaber. This is a project that I had wanted to do...

I resolved the issue with the battery pack, wired up my saber and tested the boot up and ignition without issue. I needed to remove some excess wiring to fit everything into the hilt and noticed one...

I think it was a combination of both the PCB and a bad cell. I built a new pack and tested everything ok when I conneted to my charger, as well as powering on the board and LED set up.

Thanks...

Ok makes sense. I have my battery and PCB wired correctly so it's probably the board that is the issue (like you mentioned). I'll wait until the board goes back in stock and try again.

Thanks, ...

Thanks for the reply. I've been looking over the tutorial from this thread (http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/showthread.php?12829-Li-Ion-Battery-Packs/page2) and compared it with the...

Hi All,

So, I've been researching this forum quite a bit and found a wealth of information and tutorials - thank you all for your posts and sharing your knowledge!

I completed my first stunt...
