    Thanks to Mike and Bill especially, I got the knives done, plus leather cases to boot. I guess there was nothing to be worried about, it went easily, with two passes as Mike suggested. Color filling was an excellent choice!

    You guys are always there to save my bacon, THANK YOU!

    Just like an old pro. What paint did you use for fill?

    Thanks, Mike, it would have been more nerve-wracking without your help. I just used my old standby, Testor's oil based model paint. It's dense and stands up to handling well.

    Always the consummate professional, Dee. Looks great.
    Life and death don't bother me. It's that little period of time in between that bothers me.

  5. swiss army knives

    I have done several Swiss army knives. I have used the power 65 speed 85 and DPI 500 on a 60 watt machine. It goes deep enough to paint fill. Just go a little less power and more speed to test and you should be fine.

    For rec, I did some more mugs, rotary is fun!
