YinTx Report post Posted December 9, 2018 Drew up some, traced some, carved it all. Took the shading in further on the "stickers" or leaves, but not too sure how to bevel and shade that leaf on the left. After I figure that out, have to make 3 more for a set! 3.5"x3.5" coaster. I have since burnished the edges. Enjoy. YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northmount Report post Posted December 9, 2018 I think the beveling on the point of leaf on the left looks fine. On the top right there is a little glitch where the beveling needs touched up. Like the whole appearance. Good job with the bar grounding. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you like a scotch that is really "pete-y" like Laphroig, you should also tray Talisker sometime. Wonderful single malt. OH yeah...the coasters look nice. Sorry...got sidetracked! ROFL!

Looks good! - Bill Hahahah I had never heard of that single malt before, so I looked it up, and the guy says do not give this to a novice scotch drinker, because if you do, he will never never ever ever drink a scotch single malt whiskey again. Seems it is pretty peaty and smoky! I'd happily trade a set of these for a bottle tho... 8 hours ago, rodneywt1180b said: Nice!

Going to make me broke trying to see how they are! The Highland Park sounds really good... 3 hours ago, Northmount said: I think the beveling on the point of leaf on the left looks fine.

I ended up with an old bar grounder in a set of tools I recently bought, and I used it solely on this one. I think it has 6 rounds(?), so it was a bit difficult to use, but I had better results with it than any of the bargrounders I own. It is probably the best bar grounding I have done, thank you for noticing. 2 hours ago, JazzBass said: Ah...

Anthony Bourdain, doing a YouTube series called "Raw Craft." I think there are 15 or so episodes, from bookbinders and typecasters, violin makers, knife makers, cast iron pans and tailors, shoe makers and more, all doing things how many of us do them, the slow and difficult way. All sponsored by The Balvenie. I now have bottle of DoubleWood waiting on the shelf. Do you know how many leather things I'll have to sell to pay for it lol. I really appreciate the efforts that were put into highlighting the values behind hand crafted goods for those that are unaware and curious. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
