So happy to see you back I have missed you. How about you just push the bended wire in then pull it out without turning it and see how that works.

[@timbraun4148]

What do you use to print your tube labels?

[@richdiacont2337]

Nice looking blanks. I would have only a few bends in your wire. I would also start with your wire in the tube before you pour your resin. Once poured slowly pull the wire out as you rotate. You should get a more even swirl that way. Great work though.

Hi Mike just subscribed to your channel, I have watched a couple of videos and like what I see, I enjoy turning pens myself but have not got into casting my own blanks yet. Can you tell me what make of pressure pot you use. Thank you.

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Excellent video. Shared it with a couple friends. Thank you for the shout outs. You selling any of those blanks? I might even be interested in the rejects. I can always use practice blanks. Regards, Bob

I'm in the planning stages now for a website to sell pens and pen blanks. I'll let everyone know when it goes live.

[@lindseyfrazier3298]

what if instead of alternating the two colors, you got a funnel and poured the two somewhat simultaneously? would that over-mix them?

[@synergyjohnwv]

Holy Crap is that my buddy Mike ... good to see you alive buddy. Glad to see you back at it. And BTW - First Comment :)

[@LostRiverWoodShop]

LOL - you and your FIRST! 😂😂

[@synergyjohnwv]

@@LostRiverWoodShop i think if you play with your stick some more and make it less sharp angles and fewer humps. Also the first one u showed i think.

[@markbiagi4609]

I have a old turntable I use it spin the molds while pour my resins I do 3 or 4 colors at the same time

[@LostRiverWoodShop]

Turntable as in record player?

[@markbiagi4609]

Yes sir

[@strad.philippines]

Have you made any progress in the colour mixing/separation issue? I am relatively new to casting, I enjoy it but..... It can be frustrating hoping for a sense of achievement.

[@LostRiverWoodShop]

There seems to be a steep learning curve for getting 'just the right' pour. I'm still practicing, but getting better. I'll post again once I get it nailed down.

[@johnnyspropshop]

How about wire in tube then pull out once per blank, less mixing. Blanks all looked nice.

👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗

Welcome back, I hope you're surviving the winter.

[@LostRiverWoodShop]

Kind of. More on that in the next video.

[@williamskaggs1887]

Like you said to many bend why don't take about three of them out and why not try making like a snake and add a half turn more or maybe a full tur more keep trying you'll get something you like
