I have been absent from the forum for a long time, and have not constructed many sabers, but I wanted to get back into it and found a new world of technologies, quite frankly, overwhelming.
So I...
Hey Tim,
How is it that for all your innovation and great ideas you've never come up with a battery pack/speaker solution similar to MR? You know, something without wires!
Cheers,

South-Paw Jinn, this is REAL JEDI work. Great job!
You say AA? Mine has AAA and I hate it. Why did they have to do that, they had enough room in there. The original Luke has 6 AA and is about the same size. If you wonder why I'm ranting it is...
Hey xwing, I have a different view. An MR can actually handle about 7.5V at 1500mA. Long use time might heat it up a bit, so it's best to turn it off every 10 minutes or so, but if you input the...
Hey Jetsy, my high flying Jeepster friend. You can use any of the pictures on my website if you link it. You can even link directly, I don't mind. That way you don't need to host the pictures...
Great job dad, both on the kid and the saber :-)
I hope you did secure the blade in permanently, yes? Also, a suggestion: try using 2 of the pink filters at the same time. It will dim the blade...
I've been building sabers for a few years now and have had many drool over them, but your work my friend, beats by far anything I have ever designed. True works of art! BRAVO!

Yeah, no good solution with the Hasbro boards. It's either or...
For the relay, it was a local electronics store with which I've since stopped doing business because of their messed up attitude. ...
There is only one issue with this setup, but it could be a big one. I have tried it myself a couple of years ago. The problem is that the sound board turns off by itself, and rather quickly. If...
It looks like MR had variations on this model as well. When I took mine apart, I found 2 circuit boards in there. One looks similar to the one you pictured, but there was a secondary board with...
Hey guys, thanks for the warm re-welcome :D
PEX pipe is the same material or pretty close (http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/pc-563-16-hd-polyethylene.aspx) to what Tim sell here as the diffuser...
Arkai, thanks man. I didn't realize you've got the inspiration from my site, I thought it was a coincidence that you've thought of that also. Anyway, I'm glad someone made use of the idea.

I just came across this thread. Funny, I put together a tutorial on the subject a few months back:

I have also used this setup in my son's saber. The blade is...

Number 3 and last entry:
Hey Tim, I have higher resolutions and different angles should you require them.

Hmmm, I like them all, but I am curious what other people like. I vote for style 1
Back on topic. Did anyone mention black belts? I see Tim just listed 3 of that color.
That's me in the thumbnail, with my proud goatee :)
The long hair is gone though...
Are there many fatties like us? I am sure Tim will listen if there is much demand for that...

Actually, there is a lot more to building belts than just rivets. Good leather is not cheap, quality dyes and finishes are not cheap either. Then there are the rivets, snaps and those pesky...
Ok, so I don't know for how long this will be up, but as of today April 06, 2007, the USPS website is under the spell of The Force.
