Thread: Request for a Custom Saber.

    Yeah, but you see, the only problem with that is the fact that I don't have soldering tools or anything for electronics. I have only used a soldering tool on my PSP modchip installation.

    You have no Idea how easy it is to wire up a saber. It's even easier if you use LED since you won't have that hair thin wire to worry about. You can buy soldering Irons (I say irons because soldering guns get heavy after a while, and are less precise) at Sears, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowes, almost anywhere.

    You soldered a PSP modchip, you'll do fine with a Lightsaber.

    Very nicely priced and you can get it with the rest of the saber stuff.

    you said you soldered a modchip, heck thats way harder than a few wires on a saber. dude, you can do it easily. if no iron, go to wally world and get one. theyre cheap. around 8 to 10 bucks. for a 25 watter.

    its really easy. not hard at all. and if your using a mhs kit, you got it made.

    it won't work for the contacts on the led, but there are solder strips at radioshack that you just wrap around the wire and heat with a lighter. i use them alot because my soldering iron is junk.

    i am a nerd, if you don't like it, i will cut you with my lightsaber

    I can be "lazy" and take stuff to work to do on my breaks and not have to get out my own soldering iron at home. Plus I have the added bonus of being able to use my microscope to check my work.</font id="blue"> [|)]</font id="size3">

    If you are just going to solder wires together then the solder tape works fine. Trim it for just enough to wrap around the wires and heatshrink over it. There you go, and no one will be wiser, especially if they don't see it. It will not work for the LED though as you need to do that the normal way.

    J-Lo, what have you been soldering for sabers that requires a microscope?[] Overkill I say.

    <font size="3"><font color="teal">Yes, I agree, it is a bit of overkill, but it's available, so I like to check my work, and use it while I'm soldering. I'm used to using a microscope, so it feels comfortable to me.

    I do need reading glasses or a magnifying lens now to do soldering as it is, though. My eyes are getting old...[:I]</font id="teal"></font id="size3">
