Thanks Phil...today's job is trying out this technique and seeing if I can suss it out. I really don't like stress and pressure, and using CA causes me a lot of stress because it sets so fast a whole host of issues can arise, so being able to use such a technique as finishing with melamine is a breath of fresh air...literally. :)
I've done a few pen videos and been asked if I can do more...I'm very selective about the pens I buy now as I only like to sell decent pens. I tend now to just buy from yourself and Dan. So I thought I'd have a go at filming the Tempest and thought it would be fitting to finish it in Melamine. But before I do that, it's important I get the finish right. I'm confident I can as I've been practicing all week and your guide serves as a huge help. I've got a couple of Tempests from yourself this week and a few drill bits. My videos, if you havent seen them, just show the pen kit and assembly...just to give an idea of what the kit looks like to people who haven't seen them. They aren't reviews, but I've had a lot of good feedback about them. And I only put them up if it shows the pen in a good light...ie. If I made a total mess of things I'd make sure I started again :)
That said, the drill that arrived was an 8.2mm (for the Mistral I think) not 8.1mm. Thought I'd best check to see if the 8.2mm is suitable or not...was t sure how much difference .1mm makes so I emailed you to check as the packaging said 8.1mm. My emails aren't all being sent (bt issue) so you may not receive it. :( If you can let me know just in case that'd be great (Smugwood) and thanks again for the help...busy day ahead :)
