In my journey, to the centre of the earth. . . oops wrong site. I saw these bangles and purchased them in early January. They are sized for an adult female, with the diameter of the opening being 67mm for the green one to 70mm for the purple one, with the orange being 68mm.

Made from Silmar 41 resin, easy to turn and easy to finish.406590406589406588406587406586406585

Smiife, The roll is Kitchen paper and the reason is to elevate the bangles against the white back ground, so you don't see the filthy bench:;

Look good mate, just don't drop them. Did you use a bangle mold, or just turn from solid?

Hello Neil, the bangle blanks are from a mold. I get them from the Us, so postage is hideous.

Is this something you are set up for?

The bangle details. They are fun to turn, with a 12mm skew as a scraper and several changes of orientations and chucks, speed when scraping, max 1000rpm, sanding about 500rpm. You definetly want your wits with you as this involves alot of close work to chuck jaws and body and could go pear shape very quickly for the work piece, tool, you or all of the above. DAMHIKT :;

They are sanded to Abranet 500# and then polished to MM #12000, then Triple E at speed and the Meguiars Plastx.

The finished sizes are still designed around the size system from PSI, around 67mm to 70mm and thickness varies from 8mm to 12mm.

I purchased the blanks from Citifolk Creations from the US. They are active on Facebook and do not have a separate web page.
