Another Brooks winner.

I used white to paint tubes AND reverse paint. I tried with florescent orange, but it looked AWFUL. I did learn an interesting trick. To get the orange back out, I mounted a gun cleaning brush in my drill press and it cleaned everything out, got rid of the drilling marks and made the hole slightly larger, making it easier to fit tubes in with the paint. I'm REALLY liking these blanks, and this one was a dream to turn. Nothing but ribbons.

I'll have to give that cleaning brush a try. Looks great! The reverse painting really helped.

Can't blame me for the orange thing. I may have suggested it yesterday but I put one of these :biggrin: at the end of the sentence. Using one of those absolves me of all blame and damages. :biggrin::biggrin:

Everytime you post one of these, I want to try creating a blank like that. Good work Allen.

I had been wanting to do florescent orange for a minute now. I tried to do it on the first one I did, but the red ended up sticking.
