Delrin Anticlastic stakes

Hi Janet -

Yes, it's feasible to do narrower bangles on the smaller one; I probably wouldn't go wider than 20mm on the small stakes though - once you get up to that width, it's more comfortable to work on the large.

I believe I'm down to 1 large & 8 small not spoken for now.

Hi Peter,

I received my small stake thanks, looks good!

I think I may need that tutorial though, would be great if you could do it !

No problem - I just need to finish the photos off (I think it was Shaun said doing video takes him twice as long as the job being filmed - I'm the same with stills!).

All the large stakes gone now, it'll be a while before I get some more done. The next slab of Delrin I have in that thickness is black, so... Limited edition?

Hi Peter

It would appear that I am unable to sent PM's at the mo, so just confirming that it definitely is the anticlastic hammer.

Thanks
Lisa

Not really Jane - if you're using a Delrin stake, you can use a steel hammer (and you can get away with a Warrington or cross pein). For a metal stake, a nylon hammer is better - hence the lovely new mallets without horrid import duty!
