Let's Build a Graflex 2.0!!!

[Shoot2Thrill468]

Hello everyone!! So since the release of the Graflex 2.0 I have seen many people who are new to this hobby and are confused and overwhelmed as to where to start. With the release of TFA there has been a HUGE insurgence of people wanting their own lightsaber and more specifically, a Graflex. With only photo journals to go by, often with poor descriptions, I took it upon myself to create an incredibly in-depth video tutorial for those just starting out. (Keep in mind I have never made videos before now so please excuse any learning handicaps lol) After many weeks of thought, planning, filming and editing I am proud to say they are finally complete!! If you are new to this hobby and are looking for a step-by-step guide then look no further!!! If you are a seasoned professional you're probably not going to learn anything you haven't known for years lol. So with any further ado, I present to... "Let's Build a Graflex 2.0"...

Quick question. I have an LED that's too big to fit in the 7/8" heatsink. How would you go about trimming the excess? I would guess by filing down with a dremel, right?

that's what I used for mine. that and a hobby vice. just be sure to take your time and don't let too much heat build up in the base, or you risk frying your die.
