....but don't know how???
Well, later tonight the answer will magically appear on Youtube!!
Utilizing a Serpentine blank from TerryQ, I will show how to make a closed end Atrax Rollerball with no special tooling. You make your own sleeve, and use the end of an adjustable mandrel (OR you can use a regular mandrel, but you have to put lots of spacers on "headstock end" to shorten it.
The video will explain in some depth.
Will let you know when it is "up"---I would expect about 3 hours (8 ish Central time)---rendering on Sunday night takes forever.
See his latest offerings here: http://www.exoticblanks.com/Terry-s-Segmented-Serpentine-Blanks/
Comments are very welcome, again this was a 4 hour process, AFTER the video was "shot". But I do think it is worth the effort.
Gave me a greater appreciation of Terry's great blanks!!! Not a hiccup in the process and "turning to a point" is not a forgiving exercise.
