Heheheh... pauvre Erv... il est travaille a la v4.3 CF maintenant...

So... I guess it's la meme chose with all the soldering... ~230 solders per board... DANG.

And here... we all think wiring up ONE saber is tough. HAH! And double HAH.

[irvinplecter]

should be simple HAH, double HAH are for double blade sabers ;-)

Courage ! and have fun too !

Great stuff, man! Luv it.

[blackdog23]

That is about what I expected Erv'. Lots of tedious hours to give us the best of the best. You have our sincere thanks.

[jamriman]

Erv, you need a rest. Great video, great work from a truly generous man! Thanks

[S4ND5TR0M]

You're a fuckin' genius Erv'.

Nice video. I am a high school student and I really want to build a lightsaber. I don't really know about electronics, but my dad does. I don't have enough money to buy a crystal focus board. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO MAKE ONE OR AT LEAST GIVE ME SOME IDEAS ON HOW TO MAKE A DECENT BOARD SO THAT I COULD PUT SOME SOUND IN MY SABER? My dad could help me do the rest, but can you please tell me how to at least get started and what materials I might need? PLEASE!?

[greytale]

Watch my videos... your father will help you with the rest.

well, i have seen many of your videos (i haven't seen the BOPs or other fighting presentations) but i still need help making a board. my dad thinks that this stuff is just a waste of time [gasp]. PLEASE HELP!

[greytale]

It IS a waste of time. From a certain point of view.

Just like most anything in life. I think many people "waste their time" on things like sewing quilts, working for Microsoft, or pandering in the streets for cash b/c they are jobless & homeless... but ALL of them would feel otherwise regarding my thoughts... :)

The tools and resources and help are there for you to find--you only need to determine if you think it's worth it to YOU.

OMG!! I get home from teaching classes, and.... I... see... THIS!!!

JE.... VOIS.... CETTE VIDEO!!! OH LA LA, DROLE, DROLE DROLE, hahahahahahaa

GREAT JOB Erv, heheheh very creative.

One day... would love to see a "time compression" of you soldering one from the beginning to end. You just put the cam on... and leave it. Edit later + time compression... would be amazing to reflect: "...omg. He does that like 100 times over...!!!!" :)

I thought about that x100 speed up video soldering a CF, I'll probably do it very soon, now that the camera is installed on a stand in the lab ! Glad you like the video !

[machiznima]

thanks a lot. I really want to make something that has great sound, but i don't know where to start. can't wait.

[sid9mm]

I admire the dedication you have to make all those CF boards for all us STAR WARS fans! Your video shows exactly what I imagined you had to go through to solder all those components by hand. Thank you very much for all that you do!

[MadcowGenesis]

You are now a lightsaber ROCK STAR!

[SgTSmeG]

Cheers for making all the CF boards Erv!!

I'll shout ya a Drink sometime ;)

[robodragonsdf1]

It is just insane that you hand solder every board. True dedication my man true dedication.

And I thought it was just the Japanese that had a pre work exercise program. Get back in there Rocky :)

"Lord of the Boards" LOL! that was a cool image. Thanks for helping make dreams come true Erv!

with peace,
