Hey all,
I am in the process of getting materials for my, ahem, "art project" (914). I want to have some aluminum that has the brushed look to it. I ordered some 6061 and am not sure if it will have this finish. Is it easy to produce? Also, I am looking into getting some parts coated. I have heard that black chrome is what I am looking for based on my desire to have the character of the aluminum visible through the dark gloss coating. If this is not what I am looking for could someone point me in the right direction? Also a place to have it done would be welcomed. Next, I am gonna start using my mini lathe. I have the concept down as to how, but have never used one (so I bought extra stock). My question for the lathe is, how do you make domed shapes? Like if you took the end of a rod and domed it. Thanks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif) |

Mike,
I get it now, CNC sounds very nice. Maybe this summer when I am on break. As for anodizing, I am not too thrilled by the look for what I am going to use it for. I used to work with an anodizer quite a bit in a previous life, so I have some back ground. You can powder coat with clear or a tinted clear like what I am looking for and it will not fill in the finish, unless I am mistaken. I am not talking about solids, rather smokey clears. |
