Kaytrim's Kustoms Back in Action
Kaytrim:
Just got word from the man himself. My first set of plaques are ready for shipment. The reason some of them are all black is that I want to match the main color of the stick it is going on. ;) Major props to Donkey_Kong and Pinewood_Princess. If anyone wants to order any of my sticks send me an email kaytrimskustoms(at)gmail(dot)com
edit: These logo plaques are optional for my custom builds.

Results of sanding and polishing raw cherry wood. The first pic below is sanded to 220 grit using a random orbit sander. The second pic is polished using the micro mesh I have mentioned above. I did the whole board with the 220 random orbit then used a 400 grit on half followed up with the 1500 and 2400 micro mesh and plain water. Then I used a tack cloth to get all the dust off the wood. You can defiantly see a difference in the shine. I can't wait to see what it looks like when I get the higher grits of the micro mesh.

BTW I just got my first confirmed order last night. A friend of my daughter's wants me to build him one so he can play MAME. Once the word gets out at school I'm hoping for more orders to come rolling in.
TTFN :woot

My wife has the camera otherwise I would take a few pics of the current progress. After sanding down the primer coats I am putting the final coats of paint on the MDF box today. With the rain today I don't think that it will dry too quickly. Next is the lacquer coat, this is where the polishing will begin. There are enough mistakes on this particular box that I may not sell it. I wanted one for myself anyway. ;D
On another front I began working on an all Cherry box. I have the sides and top cut pre-sanded down to 400 and assembled. After I do the edge treatments I do a final sanding with 600 then stain and lacquer this box. I am not cutting anything into the top yet as I don't know what is going into it. I cut the top for the parts that the buyer wishes to have put in.
Hopefully I'll have some pics tonight after the wife gets back with my camera.
TTFN

I polished my pool cue (got some special 3 grits sanding kit). The cue was just plain wood wen I started but it was almost like it was lacquered after I polished it.
