So Confused!

[XozFisto]

New to making my own saber but when I met the guys at NY Jedi and saw what they had done, it inspired me to try.
So... I come on here and start to read. I read and read and the more I read and the more I look... The more confused I get.
I want a yellow bright blade.
Now... What things do I need to accomplish this with the EL system? I can solder things but when it comes down to X, Y, Z to do this... I am completely baffled.
So. What I ask of you who have done it so many times... What do I need for a bright yellow blade.
AND... Just how hard is it to add sound?
Thank you in advance.

Don't bother with EL. Read ALL of this

And to add sound, just check out Saber Sound and Cutaway views and wiring schematics

Hope this helps

I've got an awesome yellow blade. Your best bet is to get the Lux III kit from the store and choose the white Seoul P4 as the color option. The put a yellow filter in it.

I posted a throng of pictures there, and a link to get a set of Lee filters.

You can do a nice EL yellow blade (link-->http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Co...ade--P209.aspx) Most of us like LED sabers better for a number of reasons, but you can build a very nice EL saber if you choose, and yes, it can have sound too! (Linky-->http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com...t=sound+switch) this link will also show what electronics you need to buy!

Well, I do want this one for combat as well. Heard the LED ones don't do the combat.

Also... you all are awesome for responding so fast!

Haven't read through them all yet but wanted to thank you for helping a poor gal out.

How do you secure everything inside the saber?

Is it worth it to mess around with the sound?

I do like the idea of being able to have a white saber that is changed with color though. That's pretty nice.

Do you mind if I keep asking questions here as I figure all of this out?
