Cutting a Thuri
Here’s on I’ve been stressing about for awhile now. I need two 2.5 in slurry stones to complete two Escher sets - barber’s gem size. Because they are extra select quality, I didn’t want to degrade the slurry quality with lesser slurry stones.
I had great results making slurry with a 5 x 1 branded thuri in two-tone. So I decided to cut it in half, effectively giving me two $40 slurry stones.
I have no experience with this, but read everything I could find on the subject.
So, I made a jig for my coping saw. I pre-cut the wood to guide my saw. The saw blade is nothing special, and is the same one I use for wood and acrylic scales.
Then, it was quite easy. Took maybe 4 minutes of gentle sawing. The 1st picture below is before sawing.
Now, I have to learn to make boxes!Last edited by MrHouston; 09-29-2018 at 04:39 PM.
