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

The pinkle sections are birch and they contain a speckle that’s really unique. The photo that goes with the post is a close […]
Creating Head in the Clouds
I’ve loved my wife’s voice from the first time I heard it. Only made sense that I’d ask her to write a song for my future videos. When we sat to talk about what I wanted, what it should sound like, all I knew was it had to be laid back and honest about life. […]
First/second epoxy coat on Purple Object Ball Eater
The stick’ll get another in an hour, (it did, updated vid below) then sit 48 hours before sanding down and applying 15 coats of CA glue. Purple Object Ball Eater was Character Cues’ first purchased stick. It was also the first to benefit from my new Unique Products lathe, which is not shown in this […]
Psycho Red (stick 22)
An experiment in beautiful. The wood is spalted maple (stabilized). The thin black lines are from the wood. The rest is dye. First a deep coat of orange, then many layers of different reds. The last red was supposed to be wine, but it didn’t give the effect I wanted, so I added blue to […]
