New to the forum and scene as of last holiday season, but have already learned a tremendously amount from the material available here! A friend pointed me to a Madcow video after I shared pics of a plumbing pipe and pvc saber I built with my son...as a lifelong fan and saber hack, I had no clue how far things had come...thought an illuminated saber was fragile by nature! 4 months and 5 builds later, starting with a great set of MHS parts, I am all in! Special thanks to the experts for sharing their videos, which I think have watched all of...looking forward to finding the right places to post pictures and learnings from my initial builds.
