Woodcraft has a bunch of stuff on clearance. I just picked up 35 acrylic blanks and 5 kits for under $100 shipped to my door.

Just got about 50 blanks. They also have the expanding collet chucks for super cheap.

Got my stuff today. What is with the rounded corners on the blanks?!? Not sure if I appreciate that or not. ... yet.

That's been sort of their trademark for a long time. If your the sort that likes to knock down the edges of a blank on your sander, it saves you that step. I use one of those dedicated drilling chucks from PSI, and although there aren't any corners to lock onto, it's not an issue. I just wiggle the blank a little as the jaws make contact, and alignment is still right on.
I picked up a bunch at the WC in Chatanooga, but they didn't have all the colors I normally keep in stock. Hopefully there will be a better selection when I get to Birmingham next week, or I'll have to do an internet order.

The rounded corners probably saved a lot of returns from folks who tried turning a square blank. :wink:
