@superdude5007 Who “he”? And buy what? I’m not certain what you’re asking about.
In terms of the tutorial I made here with Brian… we do go off of a general schematic which labels what solder points affect what actions (i.e. on-off switch, aux switch, batteries, LED, etc. etc.).
Otherwise, if you feel confident with soldering, wiring, layout and planning… you can just refer to the .PDF that Erv has on his website.

@markisswong Thanks, hahah… yup, many people could watch “only one” of my videos and “miss the point” entirely… VERY easily! 
As to the version of CF you see in this video–I don’t recall the exact one, but it was likely v3.
V3 boards and earlier used SD cards. V4 and forward have been using micro SD cards (uSD)…
Finally, the video you mean is “Prince LED”… a joue de mots on “Prince Ali” of course.

What version of CF is that with the larger flash card? I just secured a CF4.0 and that uses a micro SD correct?
Also, I’ve seen one of your older videos when I was first getting onto the saber scene. It’s the video that is similar to the Disney film Aladdin’s “bazaar.” I thought to myself, who is this joker. Now I realize, this “joker” is Novastar. Being in the know, totally had me in a paradigm shift. You do great work.

June 3, 2011
i still think it cool as hell and would pay that lol

@jummpingjackflash there are many ways a saber can be built, but I’d say you’re looking at a minimum of $250 when you consider what is seen here in the video. It could easily be $300 to $1000 though… depending on how detailed and fancy you get.
To answer your questions and a few others… sorry… at this time, I cannot build sabers for others as a product to sell: I’ve no time for it, unfortunately!

@ Amarian & Sood1200… thanks and–this tutorial is to build a fairly involved & expensive one. However, you can make it as simple or complex as you like.
I have other videos explaining how to make a very very simple LED saber as well. So it all depends on your needs or what you can afford.

June 3, 2011
