I'm curious where you got the Corian from. Scraps like he did, or did you purchase it? What colors you got?
He turned his insert on a metal lathe, so tehre wasn't much to it. I don't remember teh gluing portion of that Demo, but I'm sure Rod Bond will bond anything.
How thin can the wall be? With that stuff, I'm sure extremely thin. Are you getting a perfect fit on the blank, or are you going to mount it on bushings?
Buff the heck out of it, it should come out looking like glass. If you have any extra inserts you turned which are no good, I'd like to see them to tinker with buffing (I spent about $75 on buffing compounds and 4 different wheels anticipting turning wooden inserts - haven't used them once)
The thread - I did an underwrap with the Cranberry with Dark Blue Inlays, gonna overwrap with Maroon (I think 337) Nylon with no CP. It will look super - but I first have to epoxy the underwrap. I do like it a lot though, very similar to Madeira Metalix.
