Purple Object Ball Eater Butt Done
I bet some social media censors go zoinks over that title. Anyhow! Look Ma! Look what I did!
Purple Object Ball Eater
Almost done. Sooooooo close. First video from earlier this afternoon. I’ve learned a lot of refinements to my process while building this stick. I’m polishing now, at 5000 grit. It’s looking good. Likely be back tonight with another video. With a layer of wax and a buff. I’ll add wax, let it harden and buff […]
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.

CA glue going on 2 sticks
Purple Object Ball Eater and Caribbean Stick are getting CA glue today. They’ll be shiny tomorrow.
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 […]
