Thread: What are you working on?

That's my plan. Also going to be doing some reading and video watching.

I found it very confusing to watch multiple peoples videos while trying to learn, because there is so many slight differences in technique and theory, so when I got serious I watched Glens videos only, until I could get consistent results. So my take away on that was pic your favourite presenter and stick with that one series.

Been there Shaun. It can make thing not go as well as they should.

I will be finishing up this one in the next day or two: Ocean Silver Steel in Inlace Acrylester "The Abyss" (my wife picked it out from among their pages and pages of patterns). Black acrylic wedge and silver hardware:

I got the blanks months ago after Roy posted a link to woodturningz.com. I sure hope he never posts a link to an expensive Rolex watch or something, as I seem to go down every rabbit hole he points out. Anyway, this stuff is super easy to work, a little softer and "gummier" than pure acrylic, so even though it's easy to cut, shape, sand and polish, it is also easy to scratch and melt edges on lower grits-a light touch is recommended.

Here ya go

Thanks, but I'm sticking with my $30 Timex!

I really like my Momentum watch. However their customer service is ridiculous. I also had a Luminox watch that I liked, so I replace my Momentum with another Luminox.

AA Ron, what are those collars you have picked out?
It will be a beautiful setup once you get it all back together.

Sorry for my lousy phone pics, Shaun, but I think I'm going to go with the silver collars from our Romanian ebay supplier-a large one at the wedge and the small size at the pivot where I don't have the room for the big one.

I'm sort of going for a nautical/ocean depths theme here with the blue and black "The Abyss" pattern, the Ocean razor, wavy scale shape, etc. I get some weird aesthetic notions sometimes-we'll see if vision meets execution when this one is finished.

I too have bought and used some of that scale material Aaron. Good stuff and sure has a nice look. And I recently made an order from Romania. They are very nice collars. It just takes a bit of time to make it here. Will be waiting to see it put together.
Here is a couple shorty's I did with the stuff.
