Mr_Riddler Posted March 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Daamn that is black, what kind of sorcery is this?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Light goes in, bounces around within the material where more and more gets absorbed (converted to heat I guess) and very very little manages to both go in and come out. I would suspect that cats find Vantablack less impressive than we do, since our sensitivity to low light levels is very poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Riddler Posted March 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Sounds like typical sorcery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Riddler Posted March 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Damn I think I need this. Should have showed me this earlier now that I have added laquer to it Gonna need to do some sandback then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pan_kara Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 lol go for it man! @Carl I didn't see the other post of yours with the link, interesting. So he does manage to get a pretty awesome result still without having to go with nanotubes (aka sorcery). hmm I'm now thinking what I could go and paint with that stuff...

Norris Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Hmmm - you could hollow that out like a giant, gnarly tear-drop back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoevenc Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I bought the Black 2.0 and painted in my Chevy symbols on my truck with it. It's black alright... but it's not AS black as the videos, etc. make it out to be. Also, I talked to Stuart and if it's used in a high-rub situation (like a guitar) you have to clear-coat it for protective purposes... and there are REALLY matte clears available... but any of them are going to alter the Black 2.0 even more so that it's less flat.

Mr_Riddler Posted April 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 @Norris Well that's a nice idea, but I think that would be a huge one. We will see what i can make out of this one when it have dried up. @verhoevenc Well after reading alot of reviews of this paint it changed my mind. To much work to redo the black parts. But I think I will order a bottle soon anyway, This is perfect for another project I have in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Riddler Posted May 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Well not much progress on these projects, but I took some new pictures. I've been noticing that my pile of blunt chisels had grown a lot. And not got the time to sharpen them. That means new tool day to speed up the sharping process :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Excellent choice. A T8 is an excellent investment. BTW, don't bother buying Tormek's own polishing compound....use Autosol instead. Far far cheaper and the same thing. I look forward to you showing us just how bald your left forearm will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 I think your guitar wants to be called Mordor. I'm jealous of the Tormek. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Riddler Posted May 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 @Prostheta Yeah I got that figured out after sharping a couple of chisels I think this machine and I will get along very well. @ScottR well I think that's a good name for it. The Tormek is awesome bit that wasn't really a surprise. It's Swedish after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Very jealous of your chisel stash. I'd immediately take the red-handled ones to 20° and the ferruled wooden ones to 25-30°. That's totally just me coveting your stash! I normally take mine to about 22.5° so they work best with hand work and with occasional use with a mallet. I really love my edge tools. They return so much beauty in process and result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha the pile is about 50+ chisels right there. The red ones are BAHCO, and most of the wooden ones is E A Berg another Swedish and very popular brand. Thats actually the angles i normally prefer around 25° tends to hold an edge a little better when working in hard woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 I somehow manage to get along with....four. A 6mm, a couple of 10mm and a 25mm. I always aim to resharpen this a little under 25° since I prefer hand work. 25-30° is needed if they're going to get hammered. I could do with some mortise chisels for that though. I much prefer paring and light careful chopping. Below 25° is more fragile, definitely, however it makes lighter work much safer and cleaner in my opinion. I just found that is what works for me.
