"A Shot of Nothing" pierced mini

[Scott Hackler]

Here is another piece for the trip to SWAT. This one is my end of the WoW members turning swap on Saturday. I call it "A Shot of Nothing" because it wouldn't hold anything!

Hard maple, about 2" tall, Tung Oil finish.

Perfect for us teetotalers!

[Peter Blair]

Very nice Scott! Love to see your work.

What tooling are you using to perform the piercing? BTW beautiful workmanship!

[Allan Wright]

Those cutouts look laser-cut. What's your secret?

[Scott Hackler]

Allan, it is just a steady hand with the right tool (NSK PRESTO ) and some good reading glasses now that my eyes are getting blurry up close now.

[Allan Wright]

Amazing. YOU ARE the laser! Nice work. The extra coloring from the tool friction really makes the cutouts stand out.

[Robert Willing]

Which ultra high speed bit are you using for the piercing? Great little piece!

[Scott Hackler]

I use the NSK Presto tool (spins at 350,000-400,000 rpm) and use bit 169L carbide tapered. Thanks
