A few months ago I came up with an idea to build a lightsaber hilt that could store and display my sharpie pens. The hilt is 3D printed and contains a battery, a switch, and a custom circuit board from Digi-Key with LEDs to light up the sharpie. I'm calling this idea the bytesaber, and I couldn't just let my new sharpie holder just sit on my desk so I designed a bent sheet metal display stand from Send Cut Send that I'm super excited to show you!

If you're like me you have creative ideas and sometimes they get trapped inside your mind. Here on Byte Sized Engineering I make project videos that get you excited about unleashing your inner maker and making those creative ideas a reality!
You shouldn’t need an engineering degree to make your ideas a reality. I suffered through years of engineering school so you don’t have to. I know how it feels to want to make something I’m excited and passionate about, but also feel overwhelmed by not knowing where to start. I’ve unlocked the secret to getting past this feeling of being stuck. In my videos I show you how to take complex problems and break them down into smaller, more manageable “byte sized” pieces.
If you want my recommendation on what you should watch, I put together this playlist for you. youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8Udln1nmXVBEdorJ2xU5VnXn1nfmMM--
