This could be good, This could be bad.........

Hi All

My other half surprised me today, she has next week off and she has just asked if I have "any of that stuff left for making the pen things, I thought I might go into the shed and see what I can do"
Quick as a flash I said no I've used it all....but...if you wanted to you could order some more, so she did, it arrives tomorrow!
However she wants to make a dark blue to pale blue graduated transition "without that swirly effect" Does any one have a good method of casting a transition blank of this type? I could probably suggest a layered effect but not a smooth transition....help needed... or not, I'm not absolutely sure where this will lead to?

Regards

Kevin

Ummm this is wrong... I don't believe women should be involved in:

woodturning
golf
drinking
....

You should benefit from the conversation having ordered a new lathe, pen turning equipment, blank making equipment etc but then should point her straight back to the kitchen.

Sexist?... ME?... Oh!

I agree get her a new lathe etc she will get bored and under great sufferance you have have it your shed.

Tell her you want to learn how to sew and knit can she teach you a few beginners stitches and can you have a go on her sewing machine?
If she agrees you can get together with Woody and start making dolls clothes.

Hi All

Thanks very much for all the support, but there was a legitimate question in there as well, does any one know how to cast a gentle fade from dark to light with out using a swirl?

Put the two colours in and pull a wire through them.

I can see the pressure you are under Kevin, my only suggestion is use a light coloured wood and use dye to get your colours .. Just trying to relieve the pressure my friend ..
