Depressing weekend. Lots of learning and questions.
1. Even with stick on sandpaper DO NOT cut BBB on chop saw. It will spin and explode. (luckily pieces were still big enough to use.
2. Gemini pen kits from PSI are junk. The top is a 2 piece pressed brass. If the cap does not fit perfectly on the clip, it pulls the pressed fit apart. I had to solder the 2 pieces together after having 2 kits go bad.
3. BBB must be finished with a buffing wheel micro mesh will not get the shine on them. But how do you get the rouge out of the coutours of the pen? (I have only been turning for 2 months so I am realy pushing my skills so help is appreciated and I absorb knowledge quickly.)
4. Gifts of trees results in storage problems. Pictures later this week.
