Essential Tools for the Beginner Lightsaber Sabersmith

[@EthalaRide]

I love how beginner-friendly this is. It's like some weird combination where it doesn't feel like I'm being talked down to, but it's also totally in layman's terms

[@maxwilson7001]

Agreed.

[@StarWarsIRL]

That’s sort of my whole thing 👍🏻

[@ViperChief117]

Looking forward to seeing the finished Lightsaber you construct when it’s completed. I’m sure it’ll be impressive.

[@mythical1340]

Star wars irl your one of my favorite star wars youtubers! You should collab with starwars theory

[@navinater]

That would be POG

[@philabot]

Thank you for loving Starwars, and sharing it with us. Merry Christmas/Happy Life Day!

[@neitherlink6612]

A few tips that I picked up since I’m also looking to do a saber install. The size of the iron tip should be small enough to be comfortable to work with depending on the size of the pad and cables, but not so small it has trouble transferring heat into the metal components. You should adjust the temperature of your iron, depending on the type of solder you’re using, so that it melts quickly, minimizing the damage to the iron, and the components. Use a bit of flux to avoid any corrosion, even if you have rosin core solder, it never hurts to be safe, though depending on the flux you use, it can leave a sticky residue, so you should have cotton ear cleaners and isopropyl alcohol to clean that up. When soldering wires to components, be sure to strip enough rubber insulation to make a secure joint, but that’s it. Making sure you can see as little exposed wire as possible. This will help make a stronger connection and prevent any short circuits. You should always pre tin your cables and components when possible, it makes things much easier. If you are a beginner, you should wear eye protection. And lastly, there are various types of solder cables, some which are lead free. Though the ones made of lead are much easier to work with, but produce toxic fumes.

[@toast7407]

Great tips! Thanks 🙂

[@parkerbecknell6613]

hey man looking to build a lightsaber myself, very good with soldering and stuff but I made a home made custom fume extractor, I like yours better, fyi I have been watching this channel for about 2 years and will never stop watching

[@carpinchipedia7009]

Americans: sodder the L: am I a joke to you

[@techtao7356]

This channel is highly underrated. I love everything you do in every video.

[@Jedi10creative]

I am glad that you are still posting videos because I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@sgtski4483]

I almost had a heart attack every time you touched the tip of the soldering iron! lol I know it was not on, but after 10+ years of working with electronics it was scary to see. Also, just a note, to create a better connection you want to heat the metal and touch the solder to the metal not the soldering iron. That helping hands thing looks awesome though, I'll definitely look into that! Thanks for the video and the series!

[@StarWarsIRL]

Good to know, thank you! Still learning the basics 😅

[@jacksonhight6359]

You are one of the most underrated youtubers out there

[@suratt5774]

Good to see you back and posting vids again. :D Assembling your own Lightsaber is a fun, and challenging experience! Especially when down the line things start having issues after a few rounds of combat because a loose joint came free. :O

[@nunoyobiz]

This is great! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the series!

[@ViperChief117]

Was hoping that you would be uploading another video rather soon. Glad that this showed up in my feed today. XD

[@jalinarimond]

You probably already answered this, but what helping hands are you using?

[@bigcrossy5531]

The king has returned...

[@mangamaniaciam]

You should also be using the following products for better soldering results: Flux paste or flux fluid(which comes in a dispenser type bottle or a syringe type dispenser) for cleaner and faster soldering! 90% rubbing alcohol and Q-Tips for cleaning up the residual flux. Tinning paste (this comes in a small can with a lid) to help keep the soldering iron tips in better shape! And (available at most hobby shops and Amazon) a magnifying headset for seeing everything even better!😊 Plus, you only need a quarter of an inch worth (or less even!) of exposed wire to solder onto your soundboard.

[@Jedi10creative]

I hope you have a great Christmas.

[@alexiecharalambides4893]

You need to do a lightsaber whole collection video

[@GabrielCamilliVieira]

Can you send me a link to those helping hands or say what brand it is? looks great

[@emmettbaxter8775]

Do you think I should get a Dynamic Saber? They look super cool but it’s my first time ever getting a saber.

[@peedoubleyoufrelexx99]

[@soulkeepers5072]

love the vid once i am done with mine i will make a vid about it

[@TeaGamingPanda]

Me anxious and scared of ever buying or building a lightsaber because my LACK OF KNOWLEDGE and skills of technology: *Watches video* Oh. Still kinda complicated, but more simple others and I make it to be. I never thought of considering electronics and lightsabers as a hobby cuz LACK OF KNOWLEDGE and such, but I love the way you teach things. Simple, not too simple. Only the Force can tell, may be I will. Thanks man!

[@S3ARCH_N_D3STROY]

0:39 what’s the control panel you have on the left of your monitor? By the way just subscribed, love the channel.

[@evanshelton554]

Pretty sure that is an elgato stream deck.

[@soulkeepers5072]

happy holidays

[@cleric670]

Just want to throw out a correction about soldering, you don't heat up the solder itself, you heat up the WIRE (or point on the PCB) you are soldering, then the solder just melts into the wire and makes the attachment.

[@itsonsight3574]

You should do a review on the Adawlert Force FX dueling lightsaber (btw it’s Ryan)

[@bobinoz2ytgaming995]

I’m literally about to start

[@1dareu2mov3]

I wish you would’ve linked to all the products you showed us in the video...

[@OuterHaven_Snake]

What wire thickness do you recommend? I'm seeing people saying 24 AWG and others saying 30AWG

[@maxwilson7001]

This may be obvious but just in case it’s not for someone I’ll say it: Please *DO NOT* touch the soldering iron tip (the paintbrush) when it is on because it will burn you quick and burn you bad. When it’s on the tip is around 500°F Stay safe y’all, from both COVID-19 and soldering irons.

[@evanshelton554]

Just a FYI to those who will be building, they do make lead free solder that is still very inexpensive. Just a few dollars and it much safer.

[@rodneyl.jonesiii524]

What brand are the helping hands

[@jawalord7566]

You can get led free soulder too.

[@harveyburgess9309]

U should do a stream we're u play with fans on squadrons

[@benji4229]

i love your content but WE NEED MORE

[@davidalan6701]

Isn’t the wire supposed to go through the hole, and solder added to the back of the board?

[@flightlessfish6776]

Yes you can finally be a Jedi

[@jsobrino]

you should just stick the wire or other components you’re soldering through the holes on the PCB, rather than laying it on top and applying a thin layer of solder. that’s what the holes are meant for.

[@tronpig]

Was this a repost? This feels familiar

[@ovevz8317]

Hey I want to buy a prebuilt lightsaber around $1000 where do I look? I’m a little confused about all of this and I figured I’d ask.

I suggest changing your channel name to SWIRL. Just sounds and looks a lot cooler to new audiences. Or at least that’s my thought 💭

Sodder? I think you’ll find a L in the word Solder and it’s not silent

It’s pronounced differently in different areas. In England they pronounce it like solder with the l and d pronounced. In most of the us, they pronounce it like he does.
