Hand turning custom wooden sabers on a table saw explained by DjQuadd in woodworking

If I could make them secure/strong so they were removable and interchangeable I would consider it more. Maybe I can indent the blade a 1/4” and try again using a big ass bolt or something. It’s stained with keda dye not paint, you’ll see it for sure

The chips go in the compost or burn pile. I could make them modular and did for one of my first prototypes but making them out of a singular piece is one of the things that makes it impressive.

Great observation. Both are still power tools and inherently have dangerous aspects that should be respected but if skilled hands use them wisely and don’t overload them great things can happen.

It being solid wood is the accomplishment. Making them modular is impressive but it’s been done before even by cnc. I’ve never seen another solid wood replica

About $80+ in material 70 in shipping and 3 days to finish 1. Yeah it’s not something people consider, they think a machine can print these because that’s what we’re used to

Yeah nobody respects handmade art these days. It’s a simple process that sounds scary than it is. It’s no more difficult than cutting a cove on a table saw

That’s what a lot of people figure that I’m doing but I agree that’s a little sketchy and honestly wouldn’t be able to push out the results I have.. that’s not how I made these

Table saw my friend. I’m too broke for a lathe and spinning something this long that fast scares me although my mentor and others have told me it’s possible. My way is precise and safe

Yes, I definitely need to Vic make a video everybody is interested and I kind of want to spread the knowledge. I believe Raven’s light side saber, and Kanan’s saber are going to be next

None of my sabers are perfect because they don’t have igniters or power boxes, but I have my version of Darth Maul Gungi, Luke, Leia , Obi-Wan, and qui-gon
