My name is Anthony, but please feel free to call me T, for short. I've been making lightsabers and have had a website in one incarnation or another to display my accomplishments since 2003, but just in the past couple years have I attempted more than belt props.
In the spring of 2012, I acquired a metal lathe. I'm learning the operations, capabilities, and limitations of the lathe, and slowly putting them to use. At the time I write this, I have a handful of hilt projects I'd like to complete before the end of the summer. If only we could upgrade to a 36 hour day, then I'd have plenty of time for everything. :shock: Seeing as I've nailed one major piece of machinery I've been drooling over for years, I'd love to have a mini milling machine and the use of it's potential, but it's an expense that will have to wait for several months. I still have my trusty Dremel and assorted files, but a mill would complete my little machine shop and nicely compliment my lathe.
I've been snooping around the forums for the past few months, but finally decided it was time to register. I'm looking forward to taking part in and contributing to the community.
