You, sir, have some serious saber skills. Especially considering the tools you use.
But then I think we already knew that after seeing your first saber.
Excellent saber!

QFT. Can't say it much better than that.You, sir, have some serious saber skills. Especially considering the tools you use.

A word about your drill press setup - make sure it is on the slowest speed setting you have before putting saber parts on it. Spinning at 3200rpm (my drill's high speed) would be suicide

Got a question? Start Here. Have you tried the Thread Index yet? Most questions can be answered there.
i got a question, on your drill press lathe.. thingy, what are you using to ..... lathe the metal?
Well i use a combination of files and sand paper mostly and for the heavy knockdown parts i actually use my angle grinder and sometimes my dremel to cut thin grooves. I run the drill press at the lowest speed and keep a soaking rag near by to cool the piece down as needed. I can't do any super cool like cuts but I can cut grooves, put bevels on things and shave down the OD of pipes if I need to.
thanks to everyone for the pats on the backI hope i can keep making sabers worthy to be noticed
Nice to see someone else doing the drill press lathe thing, it dangerous as all get out but effective, great work.
