This is my first real project on a lathe, sixth saber overall. I remember playing Dark Forces on my dad's computer when I was little, so this one is a bit special to me.

I intend to re-machine a few of the body segments before I ship it off to its new owner; they don't fit quite as snugly as I would like. I also don't know how the paint will hold up being in such prominent places. I followed equinox13's (awesome) baking tutorial, so hopefully it'll be ok.

I was too lazy to break out the drop cloth, so I opted for a more industrial setting. My apologies on the mediocre lighting. Half the lights in my office (the ones on my side) don't work.

Thoughts?

May I be so bold as to ask what you'd charge for making a saber like this?

Always loved this lightsaber. Would love to make something like this. I have a lightsaber I made in tech class, but it's not quite this nice.

uh...you HAVE gotten good with a lathe XD It really does look amazing. Do you have regular access to the lathe? I keep thinking of that sonic screwdriver design.

Yep, there's a student shop in the building where I work (research assistant). The only pieces of equipment in there that work are the lathe, band saw, and drill press, but that's plenty.
