Thread: Few More of My Own Castings

looks like youve nailed the casting tony, some great looking pens there.
the violet crumble purple is a real eye catcher

Nice tony,
Are you casting horizontally or vertically in tubes?
Peter

Looks like all that mold making and research is really paying off for you Tony ,these are fine examples of the casting and turning arts ,you should never have to buy any acrylic blanks ever again cheers ~ John

Well Tony is good to see that you want our good and bad comments The problem is from what I have seen so far and I have been doing my best I can't come up with any bad comments because they look great if you can keep comming up with gems like that you will save a fortune by not having to buy any blanks
Seriously well done keep them comming.

Cheers Ian

Tony.
They are some of the best looking blanks I have seen. Well done and congrats on a job well done. Keep going like that and you will have the best mixes made.

Looks like you have this casting thing down pat. Thje sky is the limit now. I do love the timber though. That came out sweet too. Thanks for showing.

Beautiful and Very VERY classy... What's the pen kit Tony?

Cheers, Chrome

Peter,

I cast using both methods PVC Tubes and silicone for my vertical castings, and silicone molds for my square horizontal blanks.

Chrome,

The kit is the Gold Sedona from Timberbits.

Thanks
Tony

Fit & finish is perfection Tony. The BMBurl has the classic 20+ coats of CA 'super quality' finish. Congrats on the workmanship.

I realise the benefits of casting your own would outweigh the limited colours available from retail sources. How economical is it to make your own castings as compared to the retail cost? In otherwords how much per unit and how many do you make from a tin (size) of epoxy?
Just curious - Ned Black

You have got to be happy about them Tony, the colours and blending look great

5th one looks like gold flames on a ruby red background, very eye catching blank.
You have managed to peak my interest in casting,, I would really like to give that a try, thanks for the jump start!

Tony, I didn't know you did casting! Those look fantastic!!
Pretty addicting, isn't it!

Only relatively new to it Marla, but finding it very interesting and enjoying it. I have a long way to catch up to you though and some of your very fine creations.

Thanks
Tony.
