    aah i see it now, very nice !! is that brass for the end peice and the spacer, nice polishing also !! do you have a replica light saber that you copied the design from or did you do it from memory/imagination,

    if i had a garage or a unit i would probably do a lot of that sort of thing, i made some stuff when i was an apprentice engineer, i'll rake it out and take some pics for ya, hand vice, plumb bob, 3d cube and base model

    how about making an elaborate two peice plumb bob

    i have made all those things a V block, screwdriver, drift scribing block, die holder, tap wrench blah blah its the same thing for all apprentices i reckon i still have my old stuff aswell
    i'm going to try and make a celtic sword i'll have to find some more aluminium from somewhere
    i made the lightsaber based on the obi wan saber but made my own ideas to fit the polishing was great very addictive
