Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, Jedi of all ages... My saber is complete. I am now fully armed and operational. I have dubbed it "Evergreen" for it was born in the Christmas Season. Thank you to all...

I know, but I don't know how to fix it : P

Thanks, J-Lo. I went to another place on the web Madcow suggested and it actually said I should be using the 82 ohm anyway, so that will work for me.

Hey guys... finally actually getting around to this. One more quick question. The Resistor for the AV switch should be a 68 ohm 1/4 watt, but there is not one for sale in the store that size. ...

Thanks so much, a very good thought, Jay-Gon. Something I hadn't really considered. My concern was that I wouldn't be getting enough to my P4, but I guess the board is regulating that anyway? ...

Thanks for posting cannibal. I will make sure and double check the clash sensor. Thanks for the tip. Also I will be using 5 x AAA NIMHs for my 6V power supply. I'm making the pack myself. Sound...

Please take a look over my wiring and make sure I'm not going to destroy anything but the Darkside! Much appreciated, and thanks to all who have helped me get this far.

Tim did one of these AV holes for me; countersunk in an MHS gear part. Looks great and just barely has the clearance inside. : )

A great job. I especially like the different metal tones. Kind of gives it a Steampunk feel. As to your question, if it were my saber, I would change it so that it is not so visibly...

What is your setup? Are you running direct to the LED or do you have a driver/soundboard? Give us some more details please. : )

Beauty Full! "Very nice" doesn't come close to describing it. Excellent Job!

Welcome Yoshi! "You've taken your first step into a larger world."

Merry Christmas!!! (or equally cool holiday of your choosing)

Hope you guys all have a safe and wonderful time. May Santa and his elves fill your stockings with Christmas Crystal Foci and may...

A little late J-Lo, but Happy B-day; and what a phenomenal gift. Hey Don, my birthday is tomorrow if you got time to crank out another. Perhaps I will have to rely on Santa-Clo. : )

Tim did a great job countersinking a hole for an illuminated AV switch for me in an MHS gear. It looks great and I love it. The fit inside is very close though, you would have to be careful of the...

I gotta kind of go my own way here and give it to the original trilogy. The first lightsabers I had ever seen. They were iconic, and I compare everything else to them. That being said. If you are...

HAHAHA! Classic!

Most excellent ARKM! I like everything about it... Except that it's not mine.

Impressive... Most Impressive!

Very nice. I'm sure a lot of blood, sweat, and credits went into that. Well, it payed off. Looks great!

And as a former "costume character" get your self in front of a mirror or video camera....

I've been thinking boots over for a long time. Boots are an essential part of any costume and should definitely be given their due. A while back I came across a good tutorial for "making" some Jack...

Certainly not an expert, but the 10ft. of poly may be a bit of overkill. From what I've read you may be losing some brightness/evenness due to that. Maybe try cutting it back to about 6 ft. and see...

Man, I was all geared up to P4, but you guys are making me second guess here. I would certainly enjoy the flexibility of filter swapping, but I don't want to lose a whole lot of quality. Hmmm.

And how could we forget:

"Threepio, you tell that slimy piece of worm-ridden filth he'll get no such pleasure from us! Right?"
