Loreen, I'm using a 4 AAA battery holder. My step-dad sanded out the insides then sanded some of the holder and now it fits perfectly. I think 4 AAA batteries will work fine. Also, which one of these resistors should I use?I'm thinking probably the blue colored one but I'm not sure. Anyway, Loreen, how does my saber look so far?

Oh, also, How do I mount my switch on? I'm using the square type from radioshack. Oh and, if I get an Ultra blade, can I just use a threaded bolt and I'd be fine? I'm getting 2 24 inch Ultra Initiate blades cause there the cheapest so I'm just going for those. My sabers will be done in a few weeks!

To mount that switch, you'd just have to drill a hole that is slightly smaller than the threads on the switch and push it in. Those switches use a nut on the bottom, and getting it tightened inside the pvc tube is a nightmare.

How is my first pvc saber attempt Jay-gon? It has the kind of tape used on baseball bats as grips and o-ring grips at the top. Where the switch is at, is that where the led stuff would sit at? And, I was wondering, can I use a 24 inch ultra initiate blade for my saber or would that be too short since the switch is in the middle of the hilt? I should be getting the electronics installed today then alls I gotta do is wait for the blades. I like my saber. Looks different. I'll post new pics once its completed which should be in a few weeks, I'm hoping in two weeks.

Blade length is entirely up to you, though I'd keep it under 36 inches.

Thanks Sairon. Sorry, I'm usually off by 10 pm my time. So the 24 inch Ultra Initiate blade would work fine? And what I was thinking about doing, I was going to put a bolt 2 inches under the coupler so the led stuff could sit on that. Plus it'd help as a blade holder too. So, how does my saber look so far as a first attempt? I'm doing a metal saber hilt here in a few months if I get on s.s.i. I was going to save up for awhile to get the hilt stuff and a crystal focus board for sound.

This thread should help you answer the blade length question.

Thanks cardcollector. I'm going with a 24 inch ultra initiate blade. will that be good for my hilt card? what i was going to do, and im sticking with it still, is put a bolt 2 inches below the coupler and the led stuff will sit on that and that'll hold the blade as well. I'm not doing my sabers exactly like Jay-gon because that would be somewhat copy righting. Or maybe if i can ill get a 30 inch blade from here and just get some gift wrap and make a blade myself.

I don't understand??

There are no copyrights you need to worry about in building thses PCV sabers. Most people just give Jay the thanks for his awesome Sabers.
