Hi all fellow turners, I did not know I would get such a response on this topic.
I done some searching around you-tube and this is the best video I can find but it sill dose not give me an insight to casting acrylics for pen making, but the video was clean and well spoken, this instructional video was great, but if it was to do with the casting of acrylics for pens blanks it would be even better.
Now im probably the best person to ask what should be in the video because I have never ever cast a blank and I cannot sleep at night of the wanting to try.
Most of what I have learnt is reading topics and looking at craft sites. I would rather watch a video than to read pages and pages of text.
Here are the pointers I would want to know.
1st. Health and safety.
2nd. The basics.
3rd. A good insight to materials used and where to obtain them.
4th. You don't have to giveaway secret recipes but you could certainly make some new ones for the video.
5th. Do's and don'ts.
6th. Tips and tricks
7th. In depth about colours on how to use them.
Video needs to be around an hour and 30 mins long, put dvd markers in the editing so that people can go to a subject if they need to.
And then charge around $10 to $15 per DVD
And then in part-two of this video advance techniques.
Video needs to be in PAL format for the UK buyers as well.
For example:
Here is that link for the youtube video
