Oh to win the lottery........

Hey when the day comes that you figure out that one perfect hilt that you can't make from pieces-parts, you know who to ask to do the work. One thing I learned a long time ago is just because I may be able to work a tool might not mean I have the talent to use it well.

Yea... but
I found my lahe rusting on a friends farm - it's 60 years old. But the last 2 years of repairing, rebuilding, and experimenting on how to use it has been alot of fun. If I've developed any skill at all, it's been a process of learning from mistakes. Just like with any tool.

Well spoken madcow, it is often the journey rather than the destination that makes the trip worthwhile

I don't know about all that now, I am very thankful when I get to my destination because the only thing I here on the journey is: ARE WE THERE YET?

Truthfully though, I would love to get a lathe myself but with lack of room and about a million other projects/tools that are on my HoneyDo list I am sensible enough to realize it is not something I will be investing in anytime soon. In the meantime I am comfortable with finding someone to toss a few duckies to and enjoy this hobby now while my kids still think I'm cool for dressing up with them in Jedi garb and dualing with the sabers.

Well,
Try Tim first, but If he's too busy to tackle your lightsaber machining needs you can run it by me.
