Casting just opens a slew of options. The work is in the casting and the turning is just like any other acrylic blank. Here are some castings I have done and shown recently. I call these my metal casting. From left to right: Brass, stainless steel, copper and finally chrome.

Also a couple of wire insulation sleeves used for these castings.

Here is a Slimline I made years ago.
Knitting Yarn wrapped on the tubes.
Might look even better if it were cast in PR.

Needs cleaning ... think I should use the gentle cycle on the washing machine?

John ... love those braided pens you made ... real nice!
