    Default Another DA

    This time I made a new scale laminate: aluminum, beewing sapele and acrylic. This may well be my new standard! (I do have a variety of veneers, but I really like the laminate result)


    Okay....so overall this looks pretty sweet, however it is actually all second rate stuff: the worked back is unevenly ground, as I overstepped my bounds in trying to do compound angles on both sides freehand....

    And the scale laminate has small air bubble inclusions.

    All part of the learning curve! Next time I'll get it right!

    Yes, it still looks better than anything that I will ever be able to make.

    Everytime I see your work, I want to click buy on the dremel and get to work. Very inspiring. Great job, yet again.

    Very nice, as always. Tell me, how many of those dremel grinding bits do you go through in a week? Or do you use the diamond ones?

    The diamond ones are not very good, the diamond coating comes off rather quickly. I use up a grinding bit a razor.

    how did you find the imperfections a 30 power jewelers loupe maybe, looks great as always, the guys here at srp have so much diverisfied talent in regards to resto work and also new razors, who needs the major players when you have to hone their razors anyway in order to shave with them
