Finally finished up my Christmas turnings! PIC HEAVY

[Brooks803]

At last! I'm done with all my Christmas gift turnings.

First are a couple of stylus(s). Both blanks were cast by me:

Now we have an entire shaving set that I made for my Dad. There is a Razor, Brush, Stand, & Soap Dish. I cast all the blanks to match. I think it all came together nicely. That soap dish was a pain! It flew off the chuck when I had it reverse to finish the bottom. Thankfully it didn't break! What sucked was even though I had the jaws padded it left a couple scratches on the inside. Since I turned off the spigot I couldn't flip it back over to resand.

Razor:

AAA Badger Hair Brush:

Stand:

Soap Dish:

Everything together:

Thanks for looking!

That razor set is something else!!! SOOOOO jealous!!!

 

[Timbo]

Great job all around. The razor set is very nice indeed. I might just start shaving again just to own a set like that.

 

[BW Design Works]

Outstanding work as always :biggrin: ! It looks similar to your Ion Storm blank I picked up. Love the colors.

 

[crabcreekind]

Sweet set! I especially like the soap dish. I think that was a neat idea for the box blanks you were making!

 

[Jim15]

You do beautiful work. Great items.

 

[D.Oliver]

I agree, great work Jonathon. Forget Santa's list, I want to know how to get on your christmas list!

Jonathan, That is a beautiful set of gifts whose upcoming recipients will treasure! Hmmm...So how does one get on your Christmas list?:biggrin::wink:. Doc

Truly amazing work as always! I tried to imagine this in my mind when you told me about it, but pictures are WAY better! Just blowing me away with this stuff man.

Shaving set with matching soap thingy is too nice!

As usual awesome work..........The shaving group is very impressive.

 

[Brooks803]

Thanks Everyone! My Dad is a really hard person to find a gift for. He's not picky, but he nevers says what he may like either! Lol....My wife says I'm the same way

Outstanding work as always :biggrin: ! It looks similar to your Ion Storm blank I picked up. Love the colors.

Thanks, It's actually the same blank. I made myself some extras and then cast the larger blanks for the brush and dish.

Thanks Doc! I think the quickest and easiest way would be to get on Mrs. Clause's good side :wink: That or pay off an elf or two :tongue:

Truly amazing work as always! I tried to imagine this in my mind when you told me about it, but pictures are WAY better! Just blowing me away with this stuff man.

Thanks Tim! Yeah I was never any good at describing things as I can see them. Must be some kinda mental block. I actually had higher asperations for this but didn't have the time to pull it all off. I wanted to make everyone 1 piece. The dish would have been a box with a flat lid and that lid would actually be the base of the stand (the chrome piece would be gone). It would consolidate the amount of space it'd take up. I'll end up doing another that way so everyone can see it, I just didn't have time before Christmas to do it this time. Oh, and Congrats! What a perfect gift for you and your family!

That sop dish is AWESOME!!! It looks like an erupting volcano.

 

[Brooks803]

Thanks again everyone! I hope you all had a great Christmas! Dad loved it! My Mom loved her lil jewelry box too (here's a pic for those who might not have seen it):
