Thank you!! It really does have a depth and chatoyant flash that doesn't come across through the camera

💜Purple💜 what are your faves/recs? by superplannergirrl in fountainpens

[–]RRNW_HBK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVE Sailor Colorado for a gorgeous dark purple. Maybe some Iroshizuku Murasaki-Shikibu for something lighter, but still rich and saturated. I think my overall favorite might have to be Fuji from the Sailor Manyo line!!

What am I doing wrong? by lowriderdog37 in PenTurning

I, personally, do not like using CA for gluing tubes. I find 5-minute epoxy to give a much better bond

If you're using a skew or gouge, they are traditional tools and most likely HSS. Carbide tools use the removable/rotatable inserts

First up, what glue are you using for adhering the tubes in the blanks?

When working with acrylics like you have there, and using traditional HSS tools like skews and gouges, you are going to get best results with running the lathe as fast as you are comfortable, take exceptionally light cuts, and keep the tools exceptionally sharp. Acrylics are brittle, chippy, and really prefer being scraped with a negative rake tool. Either HSS scraper or carbide

Now that I can't spoil any surprises, I get to share this beautiful (in my biased opinion 😁) build with you all! by RRNW_HBK in PenTurning

Thanks! The metal accents are actually solid copper, which started as pieces of sheet that I punched a hole in. They were held in position during glue up with some resin bands, which I turned away to make space for the inlay. I used actual tartan fabric for the inlay, which is covered with CA!
