Have you built a lightsaber before?
How much experience do you have with electronics? Soldering?
Have you ever worked with simple electrical diagrams?

If this is your first foray into the world of saber crafting, you might want to try a single color lightsaber. It's a lot simpler, and can always be converted later.
Read this section of the forums, there are some very nice tutorials at the bottom that will give you step-by-step instructions for constructing a basic saber. http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com...ene-Start-Here

Take a look at some of the Part Check threads, that's where I was able to learn what I needed to compile my list.

A saber with a single color LED and no sound is no more complicated than a flashlight. You can add more to it once you are comfortable. In-hilt recharging, accessory LEDs, sound boards, hot-swappable colors, etc are all wonderful things, but I wouldn't recommend them for a first build.

Know your skills, know your limits, then aim for just a bit beyond them.

Good advice is Silver Serpent giving you.

Listen to him, you should.

So many of us are looking at the rgb lightsaber. Its so cool to think about changing the collar on the fly or having that kick butt purple saber. But really look into every thing and read and re-read everything before you make up your mind. There are lots and lots of people here that will help you, if you are willing to put in the time and do research also on your own. From what i have read and the advice i was given If your going to add sound and dont want a battery pack that is huge. Then go with a 3 or 5 watt LED set up. Anything larger gets more complicated with calculating things so you dont burn out your LED or sound card. Also the more watts you through into it the bigger your heat sink will have to be. Trust the people here. Because the more people we get into this the cooler it becomes and the more people we can show off are sabers to.
