Martin,

You've learnt how to reduce the size of your picture postings too well. I'm with George on this one - too small to see properly.

Martin, That's better.

The colours go well with the Gold Stopper.

How did you find turning the Acrylic? Never tried it myself so curious.

Hi Bryan,

  Turning not possible scraping ok, very brittle and chips unless negative rake scraper used or very sharp skew. Have a few more different things I want to play with in casting then the production starts and blanks will be available.

Cheers Martin.
