As a lot of you are aware I have been messin around with Corian for a couple of weeks. A good friend who owns a high end appliance business including a solid surface operation asked me to make some stuff to sell at a large upcoming Home Improvement show.
I posted some previous photos of what I was able to create. I have gotten the laminating of the material pretty much down pat.
I was showing off the segmented Corian pen that I posted a picture of the other day to a friend at Applebees (during happy hour :D) on Wednesday. He said "man that is neat - you should make one that is red, white and blue" (he is a retired Marine Corp Lt Colonel).
I didn't have any red material so I made a pass through my other friend's scrap pile and wouldn't ya know it - no red. So, what are friends for? He quickly found me two red 4" x 4" color sample pieces to use.
Attached are pics of what came out. I also made a couple more hidden compartment key rings while I was at it. Please take notice that I angled the pieces on the top of the pen to simulate a waving flag - kinda hard to see in the pic - but is quite obvious when you look at the pen and turn it. :) I also laminated up some more red/white/blue blanks with slimmer slices of material which I think will look really good.
