Forum scanning safety feature... it has learned that a pic without hedge can't be from you so must be a scammer. :stuart:

Ya done good Kitch.
Edit: Do not make a toneboard out of acrylester. I am guessing that is what the barrel is. The cork tab will not hold up. You can sleeve some other material in the acrylester for the the insert.

Very nice!!... I'm right with you on this I just started turning acrylic. Try some of the clear acrylics, after turning acrylester the clear stuff seems so nice to turn. Takes alot longer to polish but turns nicer.

I know that this is a stretch for everybody, but I was thinking of a hedge tone board with an end cap of this stuff. Just a thought.

Looking good, hedge tone board w encapsulated would look pretty good.
You might consider a hedge lip on that keg, just so it'll feel normal to ya!

Looks like a winner to me!! You could even do the whole exhaust in the stuff and make the insert out of hedge..
