This is one of the many sets I have to cast in clear acrylic. There was quite a large air bubble and i found out after it was cast that it was another of my moulds that had been butchered hence the air bubble.

Stunning Peter and I can't see the air bubble :thumbs:

Thank you. I had to cut it out and fill in with CA which I did over 5 days and I can't see where it was, but it was extra work which I wouldn't have to do normally.

Stunning. How did you make the pattern on the tube?

Thank you. If you mean the zigzag it wasn't with my wife's pinking shears:whistling:

I only make them during the good weather and I now have 40 different sets to cast, but I now have to make new moulds and at the moment I don't have time to get them done. They are spoken for before they are cast, last year I made 80 sets and I used 30 sets, this year I will probably use them all.

Just inspiring, best plastic I have seen, and I wouldn't been surprised if you haven't just made people think about trying to emulate you. :claps::claps::claps::itscool::itscool::itscool::claps::claps::claps::yourtheman:

Those blanks are fantastic !

I'm not surprised they get spoken for before they're made.

Thank you. If you think they are great, wait until you see the rest:thumbs: I might take a couple of photos of some waiting to be cast:thumbs:

Thank you. Why not, I didn't invent the look, I researched loads of images of these kind of blanks and tried to make my own. Each one I make is my own design, but I can't honestly say I wasn't influenced by some other blank I saw, its a continuing process that is evolving, I have some in the pipeline that I am thrilled about.

This is a photo of a couple of other sets, not sure if you can make them out or not, but they will look slightly different when cast. I don't want to show others until I have had a chance to deliver them.
