    Wink Twisted Zertec

    I had a play with Neils new Beall today (he left it at my place for a day or two lol) we did some straight hex's for a trial run ,he will post when finished ,I had wanted to try a spiral hex ,the beall does not go low enough in the reduction gearing so was a bit more twisted than I had planned ,the pictures are not great but you will get the idea ,this one is cocobolo and finished with Rustins plastic coat , I will do my market research tomorrow hehe, but a slow process overall cheers ~ John
    G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

    Looks good!
    Now you have to do one in black or red resin so it looks like licorice

    Not a big fan of twisted pens.

    However you have done a great job.

    Yes they are Vertex

    It turned out great John , now you can show me how to do it

    He are the finished straight hexs we did - Cocobolo, Hairy Oak and African Ebony. Finished with 3 coats of Plastic Coat, once set sanded with 600/800, then micromesh to 12000 (all by hand sanding flat on the lathe bed), EEE and finally buffed with Hut wax.

    Unfortunately I sanded a bit too much on the Ebony and went through to the wood in parts, so recoated, but ended up worse than the first time because I didn't leave it to set long enough . I was sick of sanding by hand by then, so left it with the Hut buff

    I really like this kit, smooth mechanism and feels good in the hand. Should be popular with the guys & father's day

    Cheers
    Neil

    Wow! All looking good, lucky you to get a Beall dropped around for a loaner. The more I se that kit the more it appeals to me.

    Probably a little over an hour from start to finish ,the dremel is only using a 1/8 inch cutter so light cuts are needed ,its all hand operated so a little tiring winding the tool back and forth (working on a variable speed battery drill hookup hehe ) cheers ~ John
