Swirl Blanks Ready For Turning

[Jim]

The first job i did today once i had the lathes ready for use was drill these blanks they are now prepared and ready to turn tomorrow ..

These blanks are the Swirls which were casted by Stuart (Incognitouk) .. :wink:

Looking promising Jim, I can't see that new workshop staying clean long.

I`m hoping to get some "new to me" kits turned tomorrow, spent parts of today at the engineers supplies shop buy new drill bits as I hadn`t got any the right size for the bigger brass tubes, then it was over to my engineer mate who's turned me a couple of sleeves so my barrel trimmer fits said brass tubes........I only wanna turn some pens :idontknow:

Look forward to seeing the results of your labours

Drilled at 500rpm Stuart, with no issues at all ... The resin felt good actually, not to brittle or rubbery ...
