I'm looking forward to seeing your design since I have never seen a Luke style saber with an AV switch. I would also like to know what you would like for your crystal since I haven't seen many with a crystal either.

and remember that a hotter soldering iron is generally better - a quick touch spreads the heat less and has a far smaller chance of melting something you don't want melted. and always tin your wires. ^_^

Agreed, it's better to flash heat it (like tack welding). I have a handy 15W/30W dual setting soldering iron and I always use the 30W setting when working on boards. I haven't messed one up, yet.
