    Well I have been very quiet lately I have just been super busy for the longest time. But I have also been working on a twin set of sabers. Took my sweet time making these mainly because I was being lazy but I finally finished them up yesterday, and here they are...


    As usual all aluminum work is custom done by myself and lots of time and sweat my wife just bought me a new cross slide mill vise so its bee fun to use that for the first time too.

    Sabers look great, I bet they are comfertable, hows the balance?

    These look sweet. you did a great job. The use of screws giving the segmented look is very appealing.

    Very sleek, smooth design. Those are awesome. It has to be nice having your own lathe. You get to create whatever you want. That's awesome.

    Hah, I wish I had a lathe... I do all my "lathing" the poor mans way on the drill press. But its workable.

    The balance on these is very good actually since evry thing is centered inside, and by working the middle section into a slight hour glass shape it is nice to grip, along with the rubber rings to keep your grip from sliping up or down. They are also set into grooves I cut in so they are low profile enough to handle directly if you chose.

    Thumbs up

    I wish I had a lathe too...

    Great job on these - they make me think of starkiller for some reason...
    I love the subtle "neck" in the mid-saber. Was that lathe'd in (i.e. cut out) or was that just "squeezed" somehow?

    I have to agree with everyone else here.
    Very sleek. I bet they are nice to fight with.
    I like the look placement of the screws give as well.
    Nice work!

    Those are NiMHs, not Li-ions.
