    Thanks for all the advice about stuck threads. However I have read them all before;

    I statred this thread to just notify the community that I will not be spending money on builds until I get a job.

    I will be buying the lube when I start re-building again. Saves my temperament and $$$.

    My condolenses. I feel for you. I just finished my first saber after a couple of sleepless nights.
    I also had an issue with a missthread and a couple fried econo boards.
    Good luck with all to come.

    Everyone has made mistakes (consider it a learning process) Everyone has measured once and cut twice(when the opposite is true) Everyone has blown boards, led's, batteries (hard and sometimes expensive lessons) BUT Everyone who finally finishes that "one build" has a special someplace in their heart for it.. its the one where you finally break through the wall and ALL your future builds will reflect your new found.. wisdom

    Its not easy to come on a forums and say "I've failed" or "Its got me".. I applaud your courage and I for one can tell as soon as your ready THIS saber will make a sweet finish.. my advice.. set it aside entirely.. play with some pvc or just something else to help clear your mind and build some alternate skillsets in the process.. then once your new job kicks in you can step back and "plan your attack"
