Don't everybody cringe when you read the title. I did when my wife wanted her next pen out of one of "those" blanks.
I tried for 2 days to talk her out of it....but....but. Now I have to do my best with it.
Acrylester is the "PITS" for me. I did one before and it was full of chipped out places. I increased rpms, sharpened tools 4 times and went slow and still have little chip outs. Hate that stuff. The only way I got those places out of my first one was to sand about 3/32 off the surface before finishing.
I know the big 3. more RPM, Work slow and easy and sharpen often.
Is there a better way??? If there is, tell me about it.
Thanks
