Contestant # 1
Violin Music Pen. This pen was made using Copper Wire & Aluminum Tape The copper wire wire has been bent to form the border of a Violin and various musical notes, they were then bent to fit around the tube, which has been covered in Aluminum Tape and Embossed, the ends are adorned with copper wire and armor plates to add further character.
Contestant # 4
Blue scale double cross wrapped Mogul.I used Sulky 40wt thread,wrapped 1 at a time.Approx 180 threads,set with extended cure CA,Then I casted it using Liquid Diamonds epoxy resin.I then cut the blanks to size and turned them between centers one at a time,the mandrel is just for the picture,sanded and buffed with PBC..Was not happy with the satin clear after assembly so I masked off the nose and clip and buffed the blank again using a clean buff,much happier with the results,who'd a thunk it a clean buff with no compound polishes epoxy.
Contestant # 7
Here's my entry in the Freestyle Casting Contest. I take the beer caps cut off the crimping and scrape the seal off. I then wrap the cleaned caps around the appropriate size transfer punch to get a tight fit on the tube. Once I have enough to cover the tube a drop of CA will hold the caps in place. I then place them the mold and cast in polyester resin. I then turn and polish with MM.
