The concept behind this build was to create a functional stunt saber for the cheapest price combined with ease of construction. The modular wiring system is a godsend. I can put off learning to solder for a little while longer...
I dub this saber “The Vow of Poverty”
Take care of this monster

Wear the proper Attire

Acquire the proper ambience

Set up your work station

Inventory your shipment


Test connections

Fiddle with the components until you can cram all that crap into a tiny tiny space and not break anything

Pine for someone to take a picture of you with your awesome new light saber!

You've gotta have a Google Docs account to see the pics (luckily I have but others may not). Consider another host for the pics...

First few pics... Interesting...

Last few pics, I think you accomplished your task, sir. Simple saber. Not much to it, but it's what you wanted.

Simple and humorous first build, Congratz!

Seems very practical, especially for a shoto. I like it.

Nice post, I think you stole my shirt.

I see 2 pairs of pliers and a tiny scissors, for the MPS clip? Congrats on your saber! Now you just have to resist the urge to smack everyone with it in a 5 mile radius.

When I get time tonight, I'll repost the pics.
I was unsure which tools would work for that mps clip so I brought everything with me.

The proper tool (and safest one) is a set of snap-ring pliers. Wear eye protection too, in case it slips.
