do you have to degas that to get a perfect clear finish on that or do the bubbles clear out naturaly before it sets?

I cast it in a paint pot under 60 psi. Here is a picture of the billet which I slice in half to make two disc. My mould also. 4" diameter.

Hi,
I must confess that in years gone by I was not a fan of ornamental turning - maybe it was fear of the unknown. However, my opinion has gradually changed to the point that I am now in awe of much of this work.

As to your effort - simply beautiful:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

What more can I say?

The humble spinning top has risen to a level elegance with this one :2tsup: I can see at this rate you're probably going to attract collectors.


Well done, a magnificent spinning top.

Welcome to the forum

What an impressive piece.

Is your Rose Engine home made or commercially bought??

[marshalltucker]

Home made, I have several cutting devices I'm experimenting with. It's a work in progress.

That is fantastic
A spinning top I which I was young again
But then who cares if I had that now
I would be spinning it all over the kitchen floor
