First acrylic

[Gizmo3k]

Well, here is my first acrylic. Quite pleased with it, except I forgot to paint the tube first. Fortunately it still works OK on this blank.

This stuff is nice to turn, isn't it? I also like the Zeta, nice kit to work with!

That's a cracker for a first one Alan. my first acrylic looked like it was turned with a rasp and polished with an angle grinder!!

Very nice indeed Alan

 

[Alanp]

very nice and yes the Zeta's are a lovely kit

Turned completely with a skew (a bit of scraping in there to be lazy too), sanded to 180-400 then MicroMesh to 12,000. A little bit of Microcrystalline wax added, but not sure it did much. I will try a burnishing cream with the next one to see if it makes a difference.

Lovely balanced pen kit, seems more comfortable than a Sierra to use - hope my wife likes it, if she does I will be turning her one!

This has been said many times before, and I wish I had taken the advice, but don't give it away. Keep it for yourself, there is only ever one First of a kind, so keep it and make more for the others.

Nice pen.

That's a very well made first. Well done.
