Custom Resin Handles

Ol Grumpy

Perhaps I should have mentioned the tables were in fact made from Turpentine and indeed in the cool climate they were sold in, they would last 100 years underwater.... The gallery is in Lygon St Carlton and given that's smack in the middle of Melbourne's Cafe and Restaurant and Dare I say it... Coffee culture... Well yeah I reckon that there are quite a few people that enjoy their coffee's at those beautiful handcrafted tables...

Whizzed this one up for myself cause I can :D

Can you do a nice bright colours with some beans floating about inside?  Or does that stuff up the strength of the handle?

Beans do able Lacehim but previous experience tells me they are a PITA and gas is forced from them as the resin cures = bubbles on the surface of the beans which looks crap.

Thats what that blank could turn into AM :D

I'll have a matching one of those with my tamper stand thanks!  Add to my growing bill!

Quiet deliberate. Two stage pour. Looks really cool in the flesh where a big blob of black has hit the top of the bolt and oozed down the side :D Serious Brett ? If so, no problem.

That is one very cool handle derrilex  :thumb: I just thought of a new thing for you to do - gear stick knobs :D

Absolutely.

Done. How much bolt exposure would you like - as in, how much of it would you like to see through the resin ?

Hmmm, crossed wires I think. I'm talking the transparency of the handle in the section where the bolt is. I deliberately made mine with the bolt showing.

Not crossed wires, I'd love the bolt to show but just a little less than the one pictured.  I also need to commission a couple of other bits for the machine to match but will let you know that in due course.  I'll pay for these other two first so you don't run short of supplies stockpiling my unreasonable demands.  Love the shape by the way!  The first prototype ala KK's handle is not to my liking...To much competition.  :rofl:

The PF handles on my machine are a superb fit & feel for large hands The Atomic mushroom cap one you refer to as competition is the Lever handle not the PF handle KK

We have a different word for it In my house and fortunately my wife has small delicate hands.... :rofl:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Brett. Nothing like small delicate hands mate. I'll get cracking this arvo :thumb:

Brett's bits.

Brett H

Holy flagpole batman... They're brilliant!  Right, this week is a shocker but I should be home Mon-Wed arvos.  I'll drive home via Graceville and if it suits and visit you.  PM me your addy...  :thumb:

No worries Brett. I think thats the tamper stand I made for you. I have so many hanging around Ive forgotten which one it was  :rofl: I'm working local all week so I'm only 5 mins from home. PM sent.

They look like a match so that's all I can ask.  Love the swirls on the handle!

derrilex

Looks way better in the flesh. I think from memory I toned the gold down a bit in the tamper stand to match the honey colour of your tas oak bench

Ol Grumpy

Sensational... Like someone else said it's a bit like watching the liquid silver terminator rise up from the floor... Great Mod, derrilex :kudos

derrilex

Cheers OG. Now to start playing with a few more colour combos :thumb:

When we were discussing possible designs I mentioned the skeleton watch look Not the same kudos to the terminator description  :rofl: KK

Brett H

I've picked up the stand and the handle and all I can say is WOW!  They look amazing (good in the photo but mind-blowing in real life) and match the woodwork in the kitchen perfectly.  Thanks DX for this awesome kit and thanks also for the great cup of coffee and chat: Kuda Mas kudos!!! :thumb: 

derrilex

You're welcome Brett. Keep looking at it and you will see something new every time :D

Kelsey

Yowsers, that's awesome. I want. But I love my wood so much... I'm conflicted!

derrilex

I dare say you're not the only one Kelsey. I love wood too but.....if only in came in funky colours and was impervious to the environment it lives in  :laugh:

derrilex

Had a bit of a play with some more solid type of colours. I like it, a lot.

Brett H

Oh stop it....seriously... That looks AWESOME!
