Matched Set of Acrylic and How Not To Turn Acrylic

[CypressSlough]

I finally got a few finished up and a bunch of new ones started. Thought I would show ya how not to turn acrylic first. This one blew up in a split second. It's sucks to get this far and lose it.





This is how it looks when it goes right. Excuse the crappy pics. I didn't want to take the time to set up the photo tent.



Jim do you think the box these are in is gonna be ticking.  :roflmao: Thanks for giving us all a home on FnF and always making everyone feel welcome. I know you are partial to acrylic so here ya go. Hope you enjoy them.

Man them babies are sharp 

[CypressSlough]

Thanks guys. I think Jim will like them.

Brad, I sign and number all of my calls. Sometimes it's hard to see because of the color. It allows me to keep a log of all the calls I've ever made, who they went to and all the details about the call.


Forgot to add this style has been modified since the last group of calls I posted. These are smaller and the closed reed blows from the insert instead of the barrel. It also uses my new AGRESSIVE VORTEX AIR SYSTEM. :roflmao: :roflmao:
Sorry Al. I couldn't resist.

Jim changed his mailing address and doesn't want to give it out on the open forum. PM me and I will give you his new Alabama address.

[CypressSlough]

Jim you do alot for all of us here. Give us all a place to unwind. The best part is you don't charge us to do it. This is just a little thank you for all you do.

Nice calls Brian.   Just curious - What caused the one to blow apart?

[Bob D]

Brian,
That was  nice making those calls and giving them to Jim.

Patrick, it's just the nature of acrylic when you get to thinking ahead of where you actually are at that moment. . A very slight catch is all it takes to ruin a piece of acrylic. Then you get to start over. It seems certain colors of acrylic are just prone to catching no matter what you do, but clear usually isn't one of them.

Super job Brian !  Very classy calls.

[Hawks Feather]

Brian,

You did an excellent job on the calls and I am sure that Jim, once he closes his mouth,  will be extremely happy to have them.

Very nice. That is an interesting material to turn. It takes several blanks to make one item. 

[BasinBoy]

ya i like the look of that. its cool looking.

[FinsnFur]

I still dont know what to say Brian 

If it they were anything but acrylic, this would be easy 

Let me start by saying that you.....or anyone here for that matter, surely doesn't owe me a thing.
The things that I have provided via this forum are so immaterial that it's really nothing. A simple nod of appreciation is more then enough...and believe it or not... that gets met when the post counts go up every day.

So to offer material things such as this, well it really tips the scales of the playing field. In other words, with total respect and in fairness to everybody, I think I am going to have to politely pass because as soon as I except this were all going to find ....oh for gods sake who am I trying to fool here I can't stand it no more. Bryan those things are awesome. I'm truly humbled

[Arkyyoter]

Beautiful.......
