Hello everyone, new to this subsection and looking for some tips for my first custom mod. I just bought this gorgeous wood+acrylic block to convert into a custom box mod:
Stabilized Alder Burl Wood & Acrylic Hybrid Block Box MOD Woodturning Blank | eBay
Ill be getting help with the specific handiwork from a friend that is more experienced with woodworking but wondering:
I plan to go to home depot while waiting for delivery and practicing on wood blocks before attempting this; will the tools I use for that be adequate for this with the acrylic mix? If not, would you suggest something else?
From those more experienced, any tips and tricks you would recommend employing to ensure the best results?
Would you recommend cutting a back and front plate, then cutting out the center to create the box from the block or is there a recommended tool that could help?
Any help is greatly appreciated as I am very excited to get to work on this!
