Parts.jpgAnd so it begins. With the help of a lot of great Jedi Knights or Sith Lords (Not my place to ask ) I am now getting started. I have not come up with a name yet so throw your suggestions out.

Best of luck to you! Take your time, don't work when you're tired or frustrated, and you should do fine.

Does it matter what type of resistor is used (wire wound or metal oxide)or, as long as it matches your needs it does not matter?

[Jay-gon Jinn]

It can, but mainly due to the metal type resistors having the possibility of shorting against the inside of the hilt should their coating become damaged or scratched. Try to stick with carbon type or ceramic if possible.

What sort of chassis infrastructure are you using to hold it all together?
