Its the shavings from under my lathe Ed. I just put them in a bin, put superglue on a tube and rolled it around in the shavings. It needs a bit of patience to build it up and keep filling in holes but I think its worth it.

You've managed a smashing finish on that, beaut pen

Have you cast the sweepings up in resin Paul ?

No Doug it was all superglue, just superglued it until it was big enough to turn, keep adding layers and then sanded and polished.

Paul,

I saw the first one of these you posted, and said at the time this could be a novel trend. You've just proved it again! Well done!!!

Bob.

Paul,

Thats absolutely fantastic! I have just started the annual sweep and clean of my workshop and have so far scooped four shovel fulls of drill residue alone into the bin which I have, much to the wifes disgust, rescued.
