That tip had a glorious week of life. It meet its end landing nose first on a concrete floor at work. The entire top end exploded leaving behind the bottom and the core. After this batch I will make a new one in Acrylic Acetate which holds up much better.
I have a love hate relationship...
Me too I can't wait to see how they come out and I get to play with new tools. I am hoping to have the new tools set up on the lathe and making the first hollow core tips by Dec 1st. If it all goes well they would be for sale around Christmas.
So far this batch is on schedule for the end of...
I will not be taking any more tip requests until after the lathe is set up with new tools. This will give me a chance to make sure the new request system works well before the list gets too long. I should have this batch finished by the end of the month. I expect tool set up and making the new...
After 3 weeks of reading, learning and ordering tools I am finally back to the lathe. I have a little tip style programming and testing left to do. Monday I will start making the requested tips.
I think there is a easy way for DV to verify the right tips get to the right person. If it can't be easily automated I can mail them out when I mail the batch. I will be at the post office anyways.

It does inspire me. I added it to the list.
I added a 0.75" straight bevel in bronze and violet to the list. Sorry I didn't take the hint, I can be a little slow at times when I am programming. If this isn't the exact tip you would like just let me know and I will change it.
Added them all...
DV has the tips. Sorry I didnt get a chance to post up the pictures yet. When I get off work today I will post pictures. After posting I will upload them to DV for sale.
Thank you everyone. :)
It will be 15 tips going in the mail. The other three still have to be buffed and will be in the next batch.
5 in purple haze, 3 in lilac lava, 5 in charoite and 2 in blooming lilac. The other 4 are beta tips in the first acrylic I grabbed.
Yesterday my father in law passed. The lathe will be down for a couple of weeks as I will be spending time with family. Eighteen tips were completed and will be mailed tomorrow.
