1st cast prototype

[Incognitouk]

so guys and gals here is a picture of my first prototype cast last night, still need to work on a few things to get it right but for a first cast i didn't think this was looking to bad

apologies for the poorly turned example but it is purely to see if the cast had worked or not

oops forgot to say its a dark blue and white 4 twist lol

 

[Terry]

Looks good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Incognitouk]

my aim with these is to get up to a 6 colour twist not seen anything like it anywhere im not sure if anybody else has?

 

[wm460]

That looks great, looking forwards to seeing more.

 

[Woody]

That looks interesting never seen anything like it before well done look forward to seeing it develop

 

[L200arg]

Looking good are you going to do a range of colours eventually

 

[Jim]

Well that is a good start, it can only get better Stuart ..

 

[Incognitouk]

yes Richard this really is in the prototype stage, the jig im currently working on will allow me to pour up to 6 different sections / twists / colours

i roughly turned the rest of the blank i poured last nite i think my jig set up must have slipped slightly

i have to make a few minor adjustment to my setup, so waiting on some parts arriving this week, but i should be in full flow production by next weekend :itscool:

I only need four colours, let us know the prices etc.

i haven't even thought about pricing these yet, as i said in my other post i will be giving out some samples for you pro's to have a look and at and test out, if they pass your scrutiny then i will start thinking about pricing

i will only be able to give out a limited amount of samples so i will probably either make a post and first six get samples or maybe i should bow to the master's advice (Jim) and let him choose who gets them :P

The wise choice would be to let Jim sort it out for you as he knows who the best pen-turners are on his forum

 

[Incognitouk]

Yes Woody i am going to go with that let Jim decide being new to the forum i still dont really know who is who yet

I hate being the piggy in the middle so when the time comes the best idea is to run a poll and everyone gets a chance to choose the top five or six ...

Thanks for the generous offer Stuart ...
