Hilly Report post Posted February 12, 2008 A friend of mine is a nurse in a local ER, and I asked him if he could get me some discarded xray films for cementing projects to. That same afternoon I get this big box with about 40 or 50 big films in it. Probably last the rest of my life! I expected them to be all black or all white, or blury, etc. What I got was clear xrays of peoples body parts! It kinda creeps me out! Cloudy lungs, dye coming from kidneys, etc. Oh, and one little knee with a fractured knee cap. Ouchy. I always wanted to glue a wallet to someone's pelvis, or a holster to someone's lungs. LOL. I never told him what I wanted the film for, and he never asked. I bet he thinks I'm wierd now! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Randy Cornelius Report post Posted February 12, 2008 Always be careful of what you ask for, you may just get it..... I have tried the xray film befor and it just does not work good for me. On a big project it will still tend to curl up around the edges when the leather starts to dry. I like plexiglass. Randy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shotgunwilllie Report post Posted February 13, 2008 I like to use Corrian (sp) scraps that I can get from the local cabnetmakers shop. They are happy to give away the sink cutouts. I cut assorted shapes on my table saw with ease .Then a trip to the Dollar store for a roll of rubberised shelf liner that I glue on the back for a non skid surface works great with minimal exspence.
