several days ago I finished up 6 pens and had not one single problem. They all turned out nice.
I started 6 more pens a few days ago and was finishing them up tonight and I;
Chipped off the end of one of the large barrels when sanding.
Blew out a blank taking a small amount of material off with the skew
Cracked a CA finish when press fitting the parts on one
Glued a blank to delrin bushings so well that when I pulled them out the CA finish broke off on each end
Had some issues with a CA finish over a cigar label and sanded it until I frayed the edge of the label and ruined it
Made a pen with an M3 metal blank and when I was getting ready to sand it noticed a pin prick size hole in it from a bubble when it was cast
Made another pen with an M3 metal blank blank and lost the metal polish they sent me so I can't finish it.
I ended up with one pen and a lot of fixing to do tomorrow. I figured it was a 'bad night' and came inside.
Anything like that ever happen to anyone else? Just curious.
