Thread: Mixing It Up

Waste not want not Ian!!! You might be surprised- the pens will probably sell well. Good luck1

Hey Ian,

Have a look at 'Key Ring' Kits, from Memory the offcut from an acrylic blank is just the right size for a key ring, and they are a nice small thing to have on your display, some people will look at your stuff, and have a chat, and feel that they should buy something, a few $5.00 key rings may pay for the bay for the day, or add to the profits.

Good Luck

you should have a look at these Far less off cuts...

Hey Ian, that is what I was going to do this weekend, but I was going to cut my offcuts at about 10mm thick, on a 45 deg angle and have them staggered, wood / PR /wood / PR, segmented. I think that would look really different. But the boss has had me out doing a major cut back around the place. After the huge wet season we've had up here in the tropics, everything is overgrown. The damn lawn grows 6 inches in one week in summer, Sure looking foward to winter

Hey Pariss

I agree with you on that I have some designs work out for the off cut but I dont have a saw to cut them with only my trust band saw I was looking at a table saw today mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm only if I had the money to buy it I cant wait to see what you come up with

Hey salty72

I did ask Ian to get me some prices on your blanks but I never heard back

Hey Hazza

That sounds like an awesome idea I will have to get some of them with my next order

Ian

Can be any angle, since you have the tube holes as a common reference to centralise the assembly, you just have to have the mating angles match, build them round the tube vertically, i saw an article while websurfing the other day by a few guys in the US (unfortunatly i didn't save it). Sounds like you need to make an angle sled jig for your bandsaw Ian.

Hey Neal

thanks for the feed back mate

Ian

I placed a comment on one of the other folders about turning acrylic, what do you use to glue the parts together and do they come appart when turning them,

Also how hard is it to turn ...
