Soldering wires isn't too hard.  I don't think I do it correctly, but my way is easy.  Melt some of the solder to the iron (a drop), then stick it on the wires to join them.  Pretty easy, and having an iron around is very handy.  They are cheap too, you could get the soldering wire and iron for less than $15.
I'm not wearing hockey pads.

Hi Kit, congrads to your new saber. It looks great.
Mind if I ask how much it is? It is a luxeon saber right? How long did it take to finish?

Just wondering, but...

Why wouldn't the whole "soldering" thing have been done for you BEFORE the saber arrived at your house?

Well it didnt come with a power charger..
It was up to me to get one,but i didnt thing it woul be such a pain..
Though I thing I might have found a awy to get the charger working with there 3 adapters

Well it costed over $400 in force fx items I traded him for, and another $75 bucks to ship the FFX to France..
So about $475
It took his about 2 months to make it.

Glad to see it arrived Kit.

It sounds like it will be promising...

You may want to have Erv send you a picture of what to do if your not sure about the hookups.

I like to make the charge plugs to go with the Saber ensure there won't be reversed polarity
by plugging the connector wires in back ward.

Just show Erv the parts your looking at and I'm sure He can guide you through it as well as let you
what size plug it is using.

ki ditto on the soldering it's not that hard just intimidating if you've never done it.  just bought a cheapy at radio shack for 8 bucks.  just grab a bit of scrap wire and practive with that until you feel comfortable.  a clamp to hold things is also nice as you kind of need three hands.

I'm curious...

Is the motion sounds on Erv's board generated the same way that Ultra's board is?  ???

10/10/10~Well, so far with my Father's passing away, I'd say that this year was actually worse than 2009, even the fact that I now have a full time job (For now) isn't anywhere near enough to make up for that...so...maybe 2011 will be better? I'm not holding my breath... ::)

How do I make sure I don`t reversed polarity?
I though it way as easy as plug the 3 parts together.
