I saw this kit whilst at Turners Retreat last week so bought a couple. My son nabbed the first one and have have kept the second. The blank was a bit tricky to turn as it seemed very brittle. Especially at the edges. In fact one chip on an end was a lot deeper than I expected and had to be filled with a little CA. I was surprised how well the CA patched. Finished with Micromesh pads and a car polish.
