You know, to go along with the hum - could use a cell phone/pager or game controller vibration module when the saber is lit.

It's been like 2 years since I've posted, but I figured I'd drop a line...

Here's my concept.

Two wooden sides made of Cocobolo with an aluminum/steel spine connecting to an ROTS vader-style emitter. I would...

Just thought I'd post that here in case anyone was...

If you did want to make it a removable blade, there are a few options.

If the blade was 3/4", you'd definitely have to use a mono audio plug. Of course, that means you'd need an excess of space...

Like Do-Clo said, but BE CAREFUL. If you don't, you'll brown and bubble the PVC in the process.

Is it just a short turn to attach that front part, or is it an endless twist-on deal like the MHS parts? If it's the latter, you will want to mark a line on the outside to reference where the copper...

Hmm.. that doesn't look like a mono jack plug to me, it looks more like one of the standard DC plugs, that being the female end of it. I would suggest you give up and send it to me. That *or* you...

He had just come back off a break, so that could be why he was happy too, so there's no telling.

I had the luck of meeting David Prowse last year, but the line for Carrie Fisher was way too long. ...

Why would you think I was joking?

Here's one, but I look retarded.

I went to Collectormania 11 in Milton Keynes, UK yesterday and got to meet Ray Park. He's actually really cool, and he answered a long-standing question my friend and I have been arguing over. I...

Thanks for the comment, it looks like a lot of people read this.

Does anyone know how Erv's board handles the clash & lock button? Does pressing allow voltage through, or does it stop the...

For an EL blade, I can imagine it'd be pretty simple by sanding down the adaptor for the blade. That way, when the blade itself is engaged it would press against the sensor, triggering and holding...

It never got past the planning stage, and I still haven't completed my saber.

The MR sabers is what got me interested in building my own. I'd seen Park's sabers a while back, and another EL site I've gone to sells complete EL blades for lightsabers in the $125 price range. I...

You do want to use the same sound board and just replace the MR LED array with a luxeon, correct? I know for a fact that the board that's in there will run without the LED array connected, so you'd...

Firebird: You could drill straight in and use a cone glued inside the bottom of the pommel and probably achieve the same results. That way you don't have to worry about drilling a round object at...

This is kinda on subject...

I got both of the Star Wars Chronicles in the mail today. Two books, and the package was 17 pounds. I haven't looked through them much yet, but I'll let you know how...

A pipe cutter like you use would be good. I have one as well, but the wheel isn't big enough to cut through the 1/8" wall, so I had to hack saw it after a while.

Darth Maul was definitely Zabrak, and was definitely from Iridonia, The Databank says so. I didn't like him as much though, for the reason that he was killed by a padawan. No real Sith gets offed by...

I would, but I have no skills when it comes to that. Chicks only like guys with skills.

That doesn't solve the problem with the pommel and emitter being undersize, or I would find someone to do...

I haven't really been to a point to get a good feel for that yet, but I'll let you know when I do. It will easily be the heaviest blade around, considering the double length of EL and the 1" tube. ...

I'm using the MHS, so I can tell you this... You can't fit a 2x2 set of AA's in there for a single tier. 3 AA's in a triangle shape will fit, but just barely. So for me, I may be running at 10.8v...

I plan on running off 9.6v via 8AA rechargable batteries if I can mash them all in there, but it's looking like my chances are slim for that. Even 8AAA would give me some more run time. Last resort...

Well, I'm using the 1" OD that Tim sells for the LED sabers because I wasn't sure if I could fit that much el in an el blade. I'm not sure I fully understand your question.
