Well today I have discovered one of my greatest wishes has almost come true. Someone has built a working lightsaber.
OK, I realise its not a real lightsaber as in the weapon of the Jedi and all that, But it will set fire and burn flesh and objects. Its portable & hand held. So I think its heading in the right direction. And I want one.
Some Technobable!
