Its discussing ways of getting around using my items that irks me. Or asking if they can be bought someplace else.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

thanks, tim. i just didn't want that to sound the wrong way. it sounds like people want kid's sabers for cheap, but i know that you don't sell little polyC or inverters, so i didn't want you to think i was trying to direct business away, just trying to share what i thought could be a good and cheap idea [8D]

Hmm.. I like this thread. I have never done EL before, but i have done LED. I found 5 foot sections of EL wire at autozone, which is too short to make a full siaze blade with. This gives me ideas...

Tim, like I said before I can ship this puppy to you if you want to either get info to find the manufacturer or to spec it out and make your own.

I wasn't that worried about cost as much as I am looking for a smaller more kid friendly form factor.

Ambo the 1.25" sink tube saber that I made for my nephw was great it fit in his hands well and it is the right size for him. Most of the parts came right off Tim's shelves with the exception of the activation box which is a pvc fiting drilled out to slide on the sink tube.

Ambo, I have been pretty much doing kids sabers non stop for a while now and you can make an awsome EL saber for a little one with:
1-1.25" sink tube hilt kit (1.25hiltkit)
1-Machined aluminum end cap (mendcap)
1-PolyC Tube (40PolyC)
1-Acrylic Tip (HalfBall)
1-1/4" Mono plug (M/plug)
1-Install Set Screw (SetScrew)
10 feet of 2.5mm High Bright Long Life (2.5mmHB)
2 feet of HD polyethylene (PolyE)

The end cap will work with the kit but if your little one wants to play rough the machined end cap is a bargain to not have the guts fall out with every hard hit. I have done Lime, Aqua, Pink, Purple, Green, and Yellow and the Lime and Aqua are the most movie like colors but the yellow, pink, and purple are really nice green is more like a teal, kinda cool but I don't know if I'll do another one.

I am still thinking in the long run that these little sabers would make for a big hit since it has a small inverter and the one small strand of wire.

those little guys on the beginning of this thread were about 50 dollars <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

That's got to be fifty bucks retail. If Tim made up these things I am sure they would be alot stronger and worth price of admission.
