Second casting, first Euro(?)

[Drstrangefart]

There she is sitting in the mold I made!

And after being birthed from the mold

And there it is turned and polished. It went WAY better than the first one did, and took less blood, sweat and tears. I think what I did here was a Euro, but I'm not sure. I know I like how it turned out, though. If it weren't for the demo Brooks did, the first one wouldn't have been salvageable, and this would have been worse than the first one.

It looks great Allan! You did good. The Euro is a little different than that typically, but what you have is very nice in it's own right. Now, get a chamfering tool so you can get rid of the little gap in between the barrels.

What a great looking blank. I would buy some. Nice job.

 

[Rick P]

Well done!

 

[GoodTurns]

very nicely done! always fun to see what will be born when you unmold them!

 

[omb76]

Great job Allen!! That is one nice looking blank (and pen)!

WOW, I really like that cast. As with most, you never know what the finished product will be, but I had no clue that was hiding in that grey block.

You and me both. The way I mixed it I wasn't sure I'd get more than a bronze-ish blur.

Nice pen. Is that dome shaped shadow at the bottom of the picture the top of your head?:laugh: You've been on a tear with these acrylics; didn't you hear the theme to this years PITH is WOOD!!???

No, my doctor put my writing utensils on a low-sodium diet. It was instead used to hold the hair dryer still.

No worries! And it'll get worse now that I can cast my own resins. And that shadow probably IS my head. Door was open to let air flow through the house.

Now that is pretty. Keep this up and JB might be buying your blanks next meeting instead of the other way around.

THAT depends on how long it takes me to get more PR. And Brooks is owed a few free blanks from me first.

You're having just too much fun......but, oh well....go ahead:biggrin:

 

[boxerman]

Very nice blank and pen. And yes Brooks needs to look out.:biggrin:

I don't think he has too much to worry about from me. That's like telling Chuck Norris to watch out for an attack from a 5 year old.
