is it do-able without specialized equip??
is it cost prohibitive.

Amalgum Mutt is a brand, not a technique. The technique is called "Worthless Wood "and you can find the original article I wrote on how to do it in the Library under the casting section.

No problem! When I first joined this site I used to get lost in the library a lot.

Hello Ty,

you can contact Eugene Soto (El mostro) here at the IAP and he can answer many of your questions. He makes the great blanks that are under his trade name. I will try to add a link here to his site in case you want to view some of his work.

mesquite man
I read your pen blank tutorial re: amalgum mutt.
can you offer some insight for making larger blanks, say for mini peppermills and such?
thanks
