This is my first saber and I am pretty proud of it
I machined the whole thing myself out of solid aluminum it took give or take 20 hours on the lathe the only thing I didn’t do myself were the threads on the base that was custom cut on a CNC machine I know its pretty basic but I’m extremely happy with it

WoW!!!

Great job dude! Great 1st post, great 1st saber!!!!

A fair few people on here like simple sabers! Too flash detracts from the workmanship that's really gone into it!

Oh, BTW, Welcome!!

beautiful hilt..

love the clean/minimal look..

looks alittle small..whats the over all length? (I like 12in hilts myself..so maybe Im biased a little)

how long you been working on a lathe? First project? good job either way.

Thanks for the welcome

The hilt is about 10 1/4'' I was originally going for a 12 inch hilt but when I was cutting it out it just looked awkward so I cut it down

No it’s not my first time on a lathe but this is my first project in a long time so I might as well be the first time

Looks great man, really awesome job, I really like the switch in the choke section. How's the weight and balance with the solid pommel? Being it's shorter I was thinking it might be pretty decent, just curious as i'm doing two short sabers now and just wondering if it balances out or gives it a back heavy feel.

It’s actually not that bad it balances out and it’s not as back heavy as you would expect
