A few hex Vertexs

[Dai Sensei]

Cocobolo, Hairy Oak and African Ebony cut to hex on a Beall with a Dremmel. Finished with 3 coats of Rustin's Plastic Coat, once set sanded with 600/800, then micromesh to 12000 (all by hand sanding flat on the lathe bed), EEE and finally buffed with Hut wax.

Unfortunately I sanded a bit too much on the Ebony and went through to the wood in parts, so recoated, but ended up worse than the first time because I didn't leave it to set long enough :redface:. I was sick of sanding by hand by then, so left it with the Hut buff

I really like this kit, smooth mechanism and feels good in the hand. Should be popular with the guys & father's day :tongue:

Cheers

I like! I don't have a Beall, and am trying to come up with a method on a table mounted router to make a hex blank.

Those are sweet. Really liking that kit when you have the blanks like that!
