Excellent

Thanks! The process is really simple and there are a ton of cool patterns you can use. When you put a gloss shine on it, it has a 3D effect.

you want craytex sticks. build a wood fence for your drill press and your rows will be straight. you'll only need marks on the edge of your panel and one mark on the fence, next row split your marks, 3rd row, go back to the first row layout.

Thanks! Those sticks are available from Eastwood, they also have 1" sticks. FYI, you need to cut them down, if you leave them long, they will not work very well.

awesome!

The engine turning sticks are from the Eastwood company, very affordable too.

It looks like they dont have the kit anymore. I will have to look for a different kit. Once I find one, I will post it up

Where do you get those sticks of emory abrasive? I've done engine turning using several methods, but have never seen those sticks. Great vid by the way.

I looked on Eastwoods site and I cant find the sticks. Do they still have them?

Nice work. Did you put any clear coat on it

Yes, we cleared it after the candy

Here is a source for the jeweling rods- www.cratex.com/jewelling/ They are quite affordable too, in different sizes as well.

Is the diameter of the disk the same size or larger than the side of the squares?

Larger. so they can overlap.

I really wish you hadn't fast forwarded through the entire turning process. I was hoping to get a feel for how long to spend on each circle.

Sorry about that, it takes just a couple of seconds to make a good, clean circle. Just touch it down, apply just a bit of pressure and then release.

Reddirtrodz Thank you!

Gawd, write a friggin script! 10 seconds of useful information, polluted by six minutes of "...aaahhh....duh... what you wanna do...". Do not tell me what I wanna do. "Roloc" and "Scotchbrite" are trademarks of the 3M corporation. What you want for the cylinder is called "Unitized Abrasive", for a fraction of the cost of the 3M version. How'd they do this on "The Spirit of St. Louis"? No unitized wheels back then, let alone "Roloc" or "Scotchbrite"

Tommy Salami Roloc and Scotchbrite are the common recognizable names for these items. The actual engine turning or jeweling is done with the special rod shown in the video. These are old-school tools. Cratex.com is a good source for them as Eastwood no longer carries them.
