Next meeting:
Thursday November 10 – 6:30 -
Richmond Woodcraft
Agenda:
1) Show off your pens
2) Demonstration – Making and finishing Snakeskin blanks
Available for purchase at meeting:
Snakeskin and WallStreetII/Sierra Style tube - $3.00. After applying the skin to the tube, you can either bring it home to cast or use one of the slow speed turners to build up a finish. Note – if you are going to cast; it is best to use CA to adhere to tube. If using the build-up method, I will bring some repositional adhesive which is somewhat easier.
Also a number of people were interested in purchasing a slow speed turner for buildup of CA (and other things). I will have a number of these available for $17.00 which includes a small motor, a control box to adjust speed, 9 volt battery, a mandrel with Delrin bushings, etc. This is a complete setup ready to use.
What to bring:
$ if you want to purchase items;
CA - if you have both thin and medium bring both or you can buy at store. Easier to start with thin, but will make it work with either
Accelerator – bring if you have or you can buy at store or share with neighbor.
Small plastic baggies – the ones that come with pen kits. Useful for applying CA.
