The Greenpunk Solar Saber + update

The Greenpunk Solar Saber + update
I was inspired by some ible's here on this site. Steam punk is getting more and more my attention. So I had some stuff laying around and had to make one myself. Although it looks like it is finished... it's not in my opinion. But I'm laking inspiration to finish it. Maybe some of you have an idea?

Step 1Getting parts

Getting parts
Ok, this is the fun part. Turn every spare electronics box up side down finding fun parts to use.

These are things I've found:
- some 2,5mm² electrical wire
- a piece of plexiglas
- a piece of wood
- earphone jack-plug with connector
- broken 4x AA battery container
- battery container from the "Cybug" magazine series
- electronics from a solar light
- mini solar panel from a calculator
- panels from solar lights
- a switch from an old radio

Not on picture:
- some length of cat5 network cable
- switch from a broken cd-rom player
- 3mm red led (diffused)
- some little screws

Tools I used:
- a dremel tool
- screw drivers
- a pocket knife
- solder iron
- wire cutter
- hot glue gun

this is quite possibly pedantic, but, anything that's solar powered, by definition, cannot be steam punk

How about shaping the blade to be more of a sword, and less of a cleaver?
