Learning from my past projects.

[Dale Parrott]

This is a Dura Click EDC that I made yesterday. I learned a lot form the similiar blank I posted last week. The "pucker factor" was missing in this time and along with it, the excitement. I didn't do any sanding on this project except in between the finish coats. Limited myself to just one tool for 100% of the turning and it was a 3/4 in. gouge. Rosewood, Hard Maple, 1/16 angle aluminum rod and of course CA glue.

Oh I do like that one Dale ! works really well with the hardware too.

You,could always pucker up in a the mirror behind it for the photos if you really miss the pucker factor that much ???

Excellent segmenting and well done to keep it together while drilling and turning. Superb spacing. This is one to be proud of!

Thanks for sharing, and I'm glad you finished this pattern after the last one.

That is a nice pen! I like the way the blank flows with the kit. Well Done.

Very nice work, Dale !!!

Well done. Too bad there was no excitement in turning it because the end result is beautiful.

That came out well Dale. Hope mine are as nice if I ever get back to them. Getting closer to wrapping this phase of my house redo, up probably by the end of next week will do it. Then hopefully back into the shop. May need a refresher course as to where I left off.
