Hi folks,
Wanted to jump in and say hi - I am entirely new to saber building and am very eager to get started. I currently have a saberstaff from Ultrasabers but very much want to start building my own; I've always preferred being able to do (whatever it is) myself, largely because it is usually cheaper, and because it is much more fulfilling. Especially in the case of a lightsaber, when in the Star Wars universe each one is handcrafted by the wielder, it makes so much sense to build one yourself.
Thanks so much to the administration for making it possible to do this ourselves, and thanks to Plecter Labs for making them come to life. Very excited to begin.
If anyone has tips on building a crossguard saber, mayhaps with the Kylo Ren BladeBuilders soundboard, I would be all-ears. Not an expert solderer by any means, but I am a mechanical engineer by trade and have done countless car stereo installs, lighting setups, guitar/bass wiring, etc. I have read the crossguard setup is an ambitious build, but maybe with a simple quad-pipe connector I could simplify it.... maybe...? Need a crossguard saber for Wondercon in March, and have been debating between buying one or making this my first build.
See you around!
