RE: Jedi-Loreen's EL Lightsaber Blade Tutorial
cool hilts! you were one of those who had creativity enough to make your own designs... I have yet to gather the courage (or the money
) for that. One thing you might want to do is try to have as little extraneous objects as possible. I personally don't mind having a switchbox in the middle of my hilt, but some people think it gets in the way. Also, "enlarging" a drill bit with duct tape to put the tube on, and spinning it on a drill while running sandpaper (I like about 110) over it can give a great look. Just be careful you don't go to long, or you'l start seeing brass underneath
Your hilts do look great, though. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Luke! I did it, I sanded a tube like you suggested and it looks awsome. As for switch boxes, I agree, they are bulky and get in the way, but it's really hard to find room for switches when you install a sound module. I'll keep trying.

RE: Jedi-Loreen's EL Lightsaber Blade Tutorial
Hi all!
I must say, great tutorial Jedi-Loreen! After reading it, the madness took hold and I now find myself with various components in route so I can try my own hand at it!
Just a quick question, and I apologize if it has been mentioned before (I looked but didn't see it). Is the Classic Pipsqueek driver 2khz? I couldn't seem to find that anywhere. Is there a more recommended driver any of you blade-building (and wielding) masters would suggest?
Thanks all!

Yes, the Pipsqueak inverter I recommended is 2khz, though I think there is another one with a different frequency.
Strydur now has a 4khz inverter at his site that is supposed to be 35% brighter, but I haven't tried one of those yet.

The 4Khz inverters are really bright.

Thanks for the response...I can't wait to try it out!
One more question (since I can't find a thread on hilts that isn't locked)... What are some of the ways y'all (yes, I'm from the south) connect the mono plug (female) inside the hilt? How do you attach it on the inside?

Ntyatecafe, if you look back through the thread, you will find diagrams that show how. Also Stryder's website has those in his tutorials,
I think. I'm from the south also, Jedi-Loreen brought it to my attention just now to show it in my bio.(Thanks Loreen
) But I've just about done away with "ya'll" from my vocabulary. It seems it sounds just like the start of a derogatory comment in my wife's native language lol. I had forgotten about that. She used to look very funny when everyone said that around her. Where we live now, (still in Al.) we don't really hear it anymore anyway.

I think a lot of people, especially the new ones, don't even know that they
have
a profile.
There's nothing in there but their User Ids and post counts and log in dates.

Hey I just checked your bio, and it didn't mention California.
It says USA just like mine used to.
Hummmmmmmmmm, I wonder who brought that to my attention.
Oh yeah, I've been meaning to ask, what does that watched users mean? And I found that drooling face you mentioned
it's right above hypnotized

Well, that's not
my
fault, I put my zip code in there, so it should say my city of Anaheim. I don't know why it doesn't. And I don't know how to make it display anymore information about that.
(And yes, I
do
go to Disneyland a
lot
.
I'm just one freeway exit away! I've had an annual Pass for the last 3 years.)

That's ok, I was just messing with you J-loreen. (It's that serious thing that I keep having problems with. People tell me I can't be serious, so I try very hard to prove them right.)
I did that also. Mine now reads country - Alabama
I typed it in the box beside the box with USA in it. (I just guessed at that) I'll bet Disneyland is lots of fun.
