I want to make little disc to use as trophies for disc golf. A guy in a disc golf club I am in asked me to make some, which I have been wanting to do anyways. Here is the general idea of what I want to do. Make a round disc maybe 3-4" in diameter. I could just make a mold and pour them and use the bandsaw to cutout the circles but how would I polish them like I do pens?
I would also be like to mount them to the lathe so I can give them some profile. I don't want to have any holes in the middle of them where I mounted them to the lathe.
I was thinking maybe use 3-4" PVC for my molds then mount between centers to create a recess for my chuck to hold onto, turn the back of the disc to final shape and finish it while also adding a recess to remount to the lathe. Then I could turn it around and turn off the first recess and finish the front. My biggest problem with that is I would be wasting resin that way.
I'm sure this is confusing, here is a picture of what I would like to make.
