G'day
I decided it was time I had a go at one of these . The method I followed was generally as shown in Zac Higgens utube video .The beans were not stabalized but I used plenty of CA during turning .
The resin is epoxy and they are finished with CA.

You have done well. Those dreaded beans just love to fly and be free :U

Thanks Neil . I didn't have much trouble with the beans coming out, but the little voids in the beans were a pain .

Looks good. I can only use my imagination on how these little beans will react when on the lathe(just like someone using a pea shooter or more like an air rifle :U).
