Thanks guys!!Do-clo is the master of the lathe!!

[xl97]

there are several masters here in that area.. its good to know there are so many educated/skilled people in the community here.

Ive been eyeing up the classes offered at the local community college in my area.

but Im un-sure of which class is the right one to choose.. (not for any 'credit' or anything, I always like to take classes of interest)..

but I'll try not to high-jack your first piece thread.. Its gotta feel real good.. :)

You've been holding out on us - there's mastery potential in that them-thar head o'yers. It's looking really good. (Did you get the signature built-in heat sink? and the speaker rim on the pommel?)

Seems Lord Do-Clo has taken on an apprentice...

Looks great man can't wait to see it finished.

Well now I can't give away all my secrets ;)
David has been learning for some time about saber making and has progressed well.

"Always two there are, a master and an apprentice."

Is DaJoQuim feeling the pull of the dark side? :D

Looking great and can't wait to see the finished product.
