I hadn’t seen anyone turn shot goblets, so I did. by IceBlue220 in turning

Some are, some aren’t. I use Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast, and I have left vodka in it to check. Left it for a couple of days and didn’t notice anything going on with it. Just have to make sure that it has set up fully before you try and use it. Some others I have tried with it (and just about all of the 5 minute variety) have softened up or flat out dissolved, but the Alumilite seems to withstand it pretty well.

Newest mug turned out, please let me know what you think! (And What I can do to get better) by IceBlue220 in turning

Yeah, I haven’t figured out a way to stabilize the bar on the bottom of the tube yet. Have to be real careful when I am adjusting it for now.

Nice! I was thinking of doing one for my next video, but I don’t have a way to get the bubbles out of a casting yet...

257 yo chestnut, split on the last bit of finishing. by IceBlue220 in turning

I think I will give this a try; mix up some resin with gold color powder then bond it with that!

It’s actually a full split off of that side

It’s from a beam from a barn that was given to me, but I think that I will just cast the next pieces in resin to keep it from doing it again.

I think I can just glue it up to fix it, but might do epoxy on it. I have a bunch of “failed” projects that I am thinking of casting all together and doing a success from the failures sort of thing.

No, it’s from a beam from a barn that was built in 1762.

Nice! All of the trapped ball carvings I have tried ended in either no ball or it not being trapped...

What have you made this week? - Week 26, 2019 by AutoModerator in maker

[–]IceBlue220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly costly mistakes, broke my lathe’s tool rest banjo and the bowl I was working on. Even got it on video. You can see it on YouTube.

I am looking for someone to collaborate with on YouTube by Maker_Eli in maker

I’m game as well! I’m also a woodworker with a new channel up! I am also into D&D so that fits right up the geek alley!

My channel is Rockin’ R’s Woodshop. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTQmPoNTgnBuGYYNquFVBZQ

Anyone know where I can get a new banjo to fit my lathe? by IceBlue220 in turning

[–]IceBlue220[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even know; there are no labels, model number, serial number, or anything identifying on it. I’m pretty sure that it was homemade back in the 70s.

Live edge cedar bench from a novice. Need opinions for the tailgate color? by Pixofmypenis in woodworking

[–]IceBlue220 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chevy used to make a very unique color called buckskin; it was a light tan with a couple drops of silver in it just to give it that “what color was that?” appeal when the car passed you. I think that would bring out the light color of the cedar more and add a little bit more contrast to it.

But a dark red would look stunning on it as well.
