Along with some basic saber construction suggestions, you'll see what's coming in the soon to be released: Novastar's Crystal Focus CD Sound Compendium Take care, and have fun with your light sabers... :) --------------------------------- COST CONCERNS (tip to pommel, all estimated): Tip = $4 (+ a little cost of mirrored tape) Blade = $8 Diffuser = $2 (if you use part of a roll of the 'gift wrap film') Rubber gasket = $2 to $5 (if that!) 1.25" TCSS blade/LED holder = $20 (includes heatsink, screws) Luxeon III LED = $8 Optics & holder = $6 1.25" Sink Tube = $5 Switch = $1 3.6v Li-Ion 18650 cell = $18 Recharge Port = $1 to $2 ------------------------------------- TOTAL = about $75 As you might note--you could drop the battery cost from $18 to say $1 or $2 if you went with some other cheaper cells (such as Ni-Mh or even Alkaline). This would drop the cost to more around $50-$60. Up to you. You also do NOT need to buy Tim's emitter/blade mount/whatever if you don't want to... but... it's **highly recommended** vs. trying to make your own without proper shop tools! Again, take care, and have fun with your light sabers... :)
