Couple from today

[reiddog1]

Finally got some time in the garage today and absolutely loved it. Here's the efforts for the day:
Chrome bolt action with my homebrew alumilite blank
Green tru stone Triton (first time turning Tru stone today and everything "turned out" great!)
Black tru stone razor

Even had some time to prep blanks for tomorrow. Today was a good day. Comments are always welcome.

Nope, I didn't make pens/razor that defy gravity, my pics loaded wrong. Oops!!!

Dave,
Those look great! Super finish also!

 

[Dan Masshardt]

3 for 3. Nice work!

 

[Bob Wemm]

Those are really good, green tru-stone is my favourite.

Great job Dave. (triton is a knockout)

Those are great.

Those are great, but I tip over when I look at them. So far, I hurt my shoulder and banged my head on the desk, but it was worth it! :biggrin:

Boy, what sort of a day did Dave have?
The Terrific home brewed blank on the Bolt Action, is Spectacular
Great Blank, Fit and Finish.
Fantastic Green Tru Stone Triton.
Then capped it off with a Magnificent Black Tru Stone Razor.
And didn't raise a sweat, Wow.
Congratulations,
Brian.

Thanks

Thanks for the comments fellas. This was my first try at Tru stone. I was sweatin bullets on the green one (my first), because I had read some nightmare posts on here for tru stone. I just used a new carbide tip and took it a little slower on my cuts and sanding. I also took a file to the insides of my tubes to make the components a slip fit and epoxyed them in. Worked well for me with no issues at all. For those who are on the fence, definately give Tru stone a try. Thanks again.
