Demo for July meeting

Although I will not be able to attend your pen making party in July,I thought
that a Demo showing the preparation of materials to be cast into a blank
like Banksia or Pine cone (large ones). To drop a plastic blank from a mold is a process that takes some practice but none the less is pretty straight forward.
But there are a few "better ways" to cast other mediums into a mold.

Or how to blind set a pocket clip on a closed top pen.
