How about some Darts?

[pyurgal]

I decided to try making some darts using the kit from PSI. Talk about very easy to turn. I think they are about as easy as a Wall Street II pen. The great thing is that they all came out weighing the same and I did not have to use any of the lead filler. They weigh 28 grams each. Just the right weight for me.

I think they came out pretty good. I just finished them with Ren Wax since it was a first try. The next set that I do will be with a different wood maybe something with red in it.

Now all I need is dart board.

Nicely done... these are on my list of things to try.

I think your are correct, those are pretty cool. Anyone have any luck selling these?

 

[toolcrazy]

Those are really nice.

I do have a board and I am pretty good at Cricket, my fave game. Been wanting to try those kits.

I was looking at these, nice to see some done... and to hear that they are easy. Wonder how they sell?

Paul.
I'd like to see some with pearl inlay. And then some with a spiral on the body so that when you throw the dart with a spin you can see it turn.

A pearl inlay? OK, sounds good to me. How do you do that? I have only been turning for a couple of months now and I have not tried anything that fancy yet.

Now the spiral sounds like a neat idea. I guess I would need a sprial cutter for that. I think it might be time for a new tool. :biggrin:

Thanks for the comments. I have a feeling that I will be making more of them in the near future.

They look great. Nicely Done.

BTW: any wooden door should work.. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: Just draw a bulls eye.

I have tried to sell them, several times and I have not had any luck. They have been in my inventory for about 8 months and that is one of the few items that I can't seem to sell I have had people slightly interested indarts then they decided to back out. You may have better luck selling them then I have in your area
