After lurking for a while, I finally decided to register and post a thread for my first saber build. I recently bought a new to me metal lathe and of course started building a saber as my first from scratch project with it.
I started with the pommel first since it's by far the hardest part. It took three tries to get the cubes cut the way I wanted and it's still not perfect, but I'm satisfied with how it turned out.
The inside is bored to just over 1 inch to allow room for electronics eventually. Next up was the section where the control box will be mounted:
I've milled the flat for the box which I'll make later, but I still need to cut and tap some holes where it will mount. Here's the pommel and lower hilt assembled:
That's all I've completed so far. Next up will be the radiator section. I'll post more pics as things progress. Please share any thoughts or comments.
