Pretty cool turning through a fresh blank that looks, well sort of ho-hum to find treasure!
What did you do for a finish, MicroMesh? MM and more?
Thanks Scott! It is a lot of fun to see what is hidden inside the blanks. I have a couple more glued up and ready to go that I'm excited to see.
For finish, I ran through all the MM pads, then HUT plastic polish, and a coat of Turtle Wax ICE.
I like that cast a lot! Is the pen overturned or is it just the way it looks with the round kit?
Thanks! To be honest, I think that might be the design of the pen. I turned the blank slightly
proud of the bushings, and it was still slightly underneath the kit components. Looking at the PSI catalog, their example pens look the same. Either way, for the next one, I'm going to caliper it and match the kit parts - I think it looks overturned as well.
Very nice cast! I am not sold on the kit, but you are moving me toward liking it, that is for sure!
Thanks! This was my first Presimo kit - I'm not sold on it either at this point. The grip section is awfully small, and I don't know if I like the overall look of the kit yet or not. I'm hoping my wife will give me feedback on what she thinks - she has pretty small hands so it might be a good fit for her. She bought me a Presimo and an Executive starter set from PSI for Christmas, so I'll make at least 3 more of these. :biggrin: (and an Executive will be coming as soon as I can get out to the garage to turn it!)
