I made a bunch of these to sell at the last MPG to assist the committee funding.
These were left, and I would like to clean the bucket and start making more in more standard blank lengths (5 1/4" - 6"), I have about 14 longer ones made, hopefully will have more play time in August..
For these, I will keep my materials cost, and the rest will be donated to the MPG planning Committee account.
The first picture is of various pens I have made from these (and other combinations). I will caution folks - being able to drill an accurate center hole is important to keep the dimensions in proportion.
I have decided to start calling these "Trim Ring Blanks" vs Billet Blanks. :tongue:
4 Corner Trim Ring Blanks
#1-4: 3/4" x 5". Cherry/Maple/Veneers. $10.00/each
#5-8: 7/8" x 5 1/2". Mystery Wood/Veneers. $10.00/each
#9: 3/4" x 5". Ugly match of woods... $ .01!
9 Slot Trim Rings
#1-3: 3/4" x 5". Walnut/Maple/Mystery Woods. 2 with veneer, 1 without. $10.00/each
6 Slot Trim Rings
#1-5: 3/4" x 4". Walnut/Maple. $10.00/each
#6: 3/4" x 4". Ugly match of woods... $ .01!
#7-9: 3/4" x 5 1/4". Maple/Walnut. $10.00/each
NOTE: Most of these are shorts. So they can be used as one full Sierra, etc, a top half for Jr Gents, etc. OR, they can be used for 2-3 Sierras, Gents, etc when used as 1/4", 3/8" Trim rings. Just PM me if any questions.
These are for lazy folks! For the more enterprising turners, I have no problem explaining how you can make them yourselves - LOL, they are fun, but a pain in the b..t!
Any interest, pick the blanks in this thread and we can trade PM's with PayPal and addresses.
