I did happen to find "something" that might work as a heat sink. I found a collection of aluminum washers that are 1" wide. I was going to buy a box and play around with them and see what I can...
Ok because it doesn't look like Tim is going to get these things before I need them to finish my saber, has anyone found any alternatives? I found something for a 3/4" blade, but I really wanted the...
Sand Paper, a wooden rod or PVC, and lots of time. Or you can tape that puppy up to a cordless drill and goto town as well. Works when you can't get into the space with the dremel.
I am getting so close to needing it too. There are parts of my design I might have to change. Anyone know the actual size/length of the full assembled blade holder, LED and heatsink?
(Hoping to...
Anyone found any alternatives to the 1" balde holder? best I could find was a 3/4". I know there is copper tubing that is 1 1/8" OD with 1" ID, but so far I have only found it in 6' sections or so.
Wow. Great Paint job. At first I thought you cut it from something else, didn't even guess it was a custom paint job! Super cool!
Because I don't want to wait I was playing around in the hardware store, and found a couple things that will let me mount the 3/4 blade. But nothing for a 1" blade yet. Copper Fittings. I'm going...
I used EL for mine. (At the time, 2 - 3 years ago) I am ripping it out this weekend to remount it in a new hilt, I can show you what I did then.
EDIT: I thought I had saw a website that showed...
I made my own blade holder out of some PVC end cap. Fit very nice. I added a little electrical tape to the end of the blade to give it a tighter fit.
If you have issues with it drying too fast, you can always try Suplty, or another backing clay. I used that one for making a action figured covered in rocks,...
Here is one I have been messing around with:

OK... what tool did you uses to get your switch mounted? My fingers/hand is just too big to get the switch down the tube and back up the hole. Anyone have any ideas?

Well, after posting this, I went and took some string, *snap*.... ok lets try some speaker wire.... *snap*... OK.... how about some 18 gage... BINGO! That stuff worked. I had to pull it thought a...
OK, is there a trick to getting this EL wire inside the smaller tube? I can't seem to get the last foot inside. And I can see that its bunched up in places, and doesn't look like its going to make...
