Purple Object Ball Eater
Buffed to 3000 (grit). Nice shine, but we’re shooting for out of this world shine. I’ll buffed to 10000 grit before waxing.
Morning Update: 8/31
Dennis’s Stick: Almost there. The butt is 99% finished. I’m letting the wax firm up before buffing out. The shaft is complete, but an experiment I haven’t revealed will either look awesome or I’ll do another shaft. Purple Object Ball Eater: This is where Dennis’ stick was yesterday. The finish is substantial. It’s built up […]
Morning Update 8/30
Custom sticks near completion. Sometimes farting around the shop, tinkering, experimenting, I’ll do something the wrong way just to see what happens. Sometime if I get the time I’ll tell you about how epoxy stays wet underneath while curing, even when the outside is hard. Fast forward to… That’s why the finishing process takes a […]
Carribean Stick and Purple Object Ball Eater updates
I don’t like kicking myself in the behind but to be honest, every now and then it happens, and I turn around and I see I was right to do it, so I don’t say anything else about it. 😉 I redid the joint ends on all my sticks in progress. My initial plan for […]
CA glue going on 2 sticks
Purple Object Ball Eater and Caribbean Stick are getting CA glue today. They’ll be shiny tomorrow.
Atheists
I used to be one. A few of my closest friends are atheists. I have no problem with atheists any more than I have a problem with someone who gets a different answer than I do working the following problem: (3x)*(4x)+19b/.1002*(102+1/2/2/4)*14a = I doubt the above is math, which makes it even more like the […]
Dennis’ Stick, epoxy day
The frame rate is 30, not 25 as I guessed. I should count the dots but I'm busy with more cooler stuff. :) #wordsmithereens Updates will follow. Updates have followed. No more to come. This stick is SICK. Meaning, AWESOME. https://youtu.be/fCjk0XMLwzk So here's the second coat as I'm applying it. One more will go on [...]
Caribbean Stick Epoxy
First coat on, second to come in an hour. Then 48 hours to cure before sanding, then CA glue, then oohs and aahs. Updated: 3 coats for Caribbean. I wanted it to look deeeeep. A lot of epoxy comes off sanding it down so it’s a perfect cylinder. Uh… Cone. Long coney cylinder thingamabob. #Wordsmith […]
First/second epoxy coat on Stick 3, C.F.P., aka, Crazy Purple
This is rapidly becoming a favorite. I love the boldness of the colors and grain patters, specifically in the “pinkle” sections on either side of purple rings that border the beech center. The pinkle sections are birch and they contain a speckle that’s really unique. The photo that goes with the post is a close […]
