TB,

Although I've never done swaps, I have done large lots for charity and raffles... I find that once set up, lots of 5 make the time pass better,when the first lot is finished being turned, I then drill it and soak it, then procede to the next lot, so on and so forth, that way, you give yourself a break, eventualy youll have some at each stage of work so it doesnt start feeling like a job,some will be being turned while others are being painted, or finished,that way, it still keeps it in hobby mode....

You got plenty of time man, a month according to the first post in this thread.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I make extras because I always...

Screw one up drilling the through hole
Screw one up turning it
Screw one up making the Eye Sockets and Hook holes
Screw one up Painting it....(that one becomes Blurple)
and Screw one (or 2) up when I'm epoxying them.

Hence....Make Extras.

Last year I ended up going back in and spinning up another one everytime one of the above happened.
