The way he is removing the swarf with his hands is not recommended. I did that once and ended up nearly cutting the end of my finger off with a length of swarf being pulled out of my hand.
Last time i did that.

Hi All,

Been months since I got any time on the lathe to work on the lightsaber project, but now finally a couple of videos.

This one shows more health and safety infringements on the lathe (amongst some other nasties like trying to remember how to do threading):



and this one I'm hoping gets me some way off of the watch list for cruelty to cutters ;)

Hi all,

More shoddy lathe work in the next part of the Light Saber saga (going to have to do something about my steady rest):

What will you use for a power source?

Probably a small LiPo of some kind (3.7v single cell) although there is room for some of the thinner but higher capacity batteries I use for airsoft. Also depends on the circuit board and whether that has LiPo low voltage protection etc.
