Okay so I just recently looked into building my own light-saber since I am a huge fan. I was just going to buy one but I want the experience of building my own.

I am pretty crafty and I feel that I can build the hilt and blade pretty easily however, when it comes to electronics I have little to no experience.
I saw this posting http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com...istor-variant).
I see that it is from 2006. Does this still work? Or is there a new process?

I don't want to worry about sound for now as this is just the first build I will be doing. If there are any other tutorials for basic electronic set ups I would greatly appreciate your assistance in finding them so that I may start one of my own.
