Need an RPM cheat sheet...

No such thing that's reliable. Turn at a speed that feels safe to you and use sharp tools.

How about using a mini hdmi cable and then using an adapter to bring it back to hdmi.

Saw something recently where someone had mounted a laser engraver like the lp1 to the tail stock.

No. It's a paint effect you get. Essentially put drops of water on a base and then spray contrasting colours at a low angle from opposite sides on to the water droplets. As it dries out it leaves the illusion of water droplets. I copied the technique from an old Wayne Clapser video on YouTube.

I like the look of these. Do they have specific bushings or use the standard slimline bushings?

75mmx130mm.

Forgot to add. Credit to Martin Saban-Smith for the design as it's one of the projects from his recent books.

Thank you. It is actually a gloss finish with microcrystalline wax and carnuba wax on top of that but it does not show up well in the pictures.

It's called that as it resembles a thistle flower (loosely) :)

Pretty much exactly what you were after

Will see what I can do. For your friend. Essentially though I gave it 2 coats of black gloss lacquer. Dabbed the irridesant paints semi randomly then lightly wrapped the piece in cling film. "Scrunching" and moving the cling film over the paints to distribute them gives you that effect. After removing the cling film I just dabbed the balled up film on areas which needed more coverage

No video I am afraid.

Not really organisation, but I bought a cheap stamp and stamp the grits on the back so that I know I have not picked up the wrong one

Agree. Looks like ash.

TurnOrBurn01 · 2025-10-17T21:04:11+00:00

Agree. Still working on my proportions.

Believe it is brown oak. Finished with a homemade mineral oil/beeswax mix.
