    Default turning styrofome

    i duno how to spell it but i cant belive how good it is to turn.

    just like a peice of swamp cypress only crunchy.

    i turned a grove in this float so a rope could be wound around it for making reefs once the gps takes us there.

    turned with a 1 1/2" roughing gouge and sanded to 100 grit it was sprayed with hot pink making paint after the pic to make it more visabel

    The model makers version is even better, you will only have one problem there will obscure little shavings about your workshop until the day you die

    Carl, nice work.
    Seems to me the same as turning nylon as I did many times to make linear nylon bearings.
