Intriguing!
Ed, this looks pretty cool! Why can’t/don’t you cut out the ‘end product’ with your disk cutter, in lieu of cutting it out with scissors?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Ed, you should post the part two video so everyone can see the end product. very cool.
I tried using a paper punch, but the plastic sheet is too thin and delicate for that type of cutter.
Thank you sir. I’m definitely going to give this a try. I have some of the UV-cured resin that I’ll put on top of the cabochon — unless you know a reason that can’t/shouldn’t be used in lieu of two-part epoxy.
Go for it! Any woodturner will tell you..."there's almost always more than one way to get to the destination."
