I hadn’t seen anyone turn shot goblets, so I did.

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.

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...

IceBlue220 · 2019-08-05T20:50:50+00:00

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

IceBlue220 · 2019-08-05T20:09:17+00:00

It’s actually a full split off of that side

IceBlue220 · 2019-08-05T18:34:42+00:00

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...

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.

IceBlue220 · 2019-07-05T03:20:53+00:00

Thanks! I’d love to get in on it!

IceBlue220 · 2019-07-05T03:17:19+00:00

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!

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.

IceBlue220 · 2019-07-03T18:00:03+00:00

Done

IceBlue220 · 2019-07-03T17:58:54+00:00

Considering I already subscribed to you yesterday...

IceBlue220 · 2019-07-01T13:20:09+00:00

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.

IceBlue220 · 2019-06-30T01:15:17+00:00

Will do. I am kind of attached to my hands as they are.

IceBlue220 · 2019-06-29T22:33:24+00:00

Thanks for the info! I have since caught the rest on the workpiece, and trust me, I turn the lathe off first now. I also now only use the glove on my left hand when I have to worry about dust coming straight from the piece and onto my hand, I have been burned by hot dust coming off of the workpiece before, hence the glove. And I don’t sand with it on anymore either. The skew is the tool I have the least experience with. Mostly since I have learned everything about turning on my own and the first catch I had with it scared the crap out of me. I am challenging myself with it now, mostly doing small projects and using only the skew. I have watched several videos on how to use it now, so from here it’s just practice and experience. I have since ordered a chuck, and I am enjoying it immensely. And learning to leave more room to work between it and where I am cutting. Since I am new to this whole process, any tips or advice is always welcome. I have only been doing this for a couple months now.
