    Default Collage football time again

    I have completed my selection of local collage clocks for fall craft shows coming up.
    I have some new shows and people haven't seen these in a couple of years.
    I have to order some more inserts and batteries, I have already sold 1 today.
    If we have a good football season, they will sell.

    I have often wondered why it is that
    Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left".

    I picked this material up in Plano Tx., it was listed as whole sale "Corian " it was not. They used it to cover walls of bathrooms etc. the 3/8" is not available any more. I picked up some 1/4" , 3 different colors. I am wanting to get rid
    of some odd size pieces. Mailing would be very expensive, so if there is any one near me or willing to drive, I would make them a good deal. Drop me a pm.

    Good job, very clean. Would you mind sharing the painting procedure/materials? Do you cover the corian with anything before you carve or paint, or does it just wipe off? Thank you.

    Material has a thin film on it to protect it from scratching, the carving is just text, so the painting is the easy part.
    just fill the "V" groves with paint, you can paint outside the lines. You then buff off the excess paint using a 220 grit
    paper. This polishes off the top and sides. I do put a clear coat just for looks.
    The longest carving time was 11 mins.
    I made 10 in all, then painted them, let them dry in a couple of hours, total time was 4 hours start to finish.
