Acrylic, Walnut & Mica, Billiard ball
Made these this weekend.
LEFT to RIGHT - Crimson acrylic with a 22mm synthetic knot and hidden magnet for traveling purposes (my second one) and the middle is Walnut and Mica (glows in the dark) materials were sent to me., next we have a Billiard ball reconfigured slightly....(the knot isn't set yet, I need to go a lot deeper).

Very nice. I Ike the Crimson color. Curious to what or why the magnet for travel purposes? I travel almost weekly an don't have a magnet in any of my brushes. What am I missing?

What your missing is a magnet.... Har har.....Well, the idea the person who commissioned it, was to be able to hang it upside down for drying purposes, while in a hotel. I haven't traveled much with my gear so I'm not going to knock the idea, it sounded good to me. Gave me some other idea's using a magnet with a shave brush, but not for the same purpose.

I was probably within an 1/8" of the very bottom of the handle with the 1/2" magnets.Last edited by Trimmy72; 02-25-2015 at 08:09 AM.

So the blue one was a billiard ball? How'd you do that? I'm not a turner, but hope to be soon.

yes it was a billiard ball. I set the ball on my drill press the base plate has a hole that allows me to stabilize the ball while I drill out the knot hole with a Forstner bit slowly. Then I use a smaller drill bit to drill a hole for a threaded mandrel that is on my lathe. This allows me to thread the ball onto it. Then I backed it up with a piece of wood and run my tail stock center up to hold the ball. Sharp tools, and a big mess followed lol Originally Posted by prodigy
