Light Up Rainbow Sword

The first step in making this was finding a picture and making an outline. Next I put the outline into the computer connected to the CNC machine and found my wood to input measurements. After cutting it with the machine I had to hand saw it because the machine did not cut all the way through ( I suggest putting the thickness of the wood thicker than it actually is ). After I hand sawed it, I used the rasp to shape it how I desired. Then sanded it to smooth it out.

After the wood work was done it was time to add LEDs. I attached the led to the sword and me and Doc did the soldering to attach the wires to the board and the touch sensor. After that, doc gave me the code from another project to use for the sword because I was in a rush and had to have it done by Friday. A word of advice I’d give to anyone attaching LEDs to a sword, if you want it to go quicker and be simpler you can use a portable charger to power it.
