Hand-made mikarta from Ukraine

[HKL4eveR]

Hello,
My name Dima and I live in Ukraine.
Im sorry, maybe I bad speak English, I help itself on-line translator.

I would like to rotin what I made mikarta. I hope that I write in a that section.



For making I used the camouflage of rip-stop digital. these were fourteen layers of fabric(?).
One layer of fabric 0.4 mm. A thickness 5.4 mm turned out after a vacuum moulding.

Не плохо, аккуратно сделано.

It looks great! But, "Micarta" is a trademarked name. You could get in trouble for selling it with that name.

"Micarta" is a trademarked name.

I did not for a sale, I did for itself

Great stuff, HKL4eveR! I love the patterns that emerge when you grind into the material.

What did you use for resin? Is it an epoxy base?

I know. I was just saying, in case you ever decided to sell it. I wouldn't be surprised, for example, if somebody asked to buy some after seeing this
It really does look great.

[HKL4eveR]

[HKL4eveR]

Very nice. Hopefully you will be making knife scales/ handles with this. Очень красиво. Надеюсь, что вы будете делать ножом весы / ручки с этим.

Hello,
Long time since I did not show anything new.
My new design is hardly Micarta probably polymer filler.
In general, my home cyber-bee tried and built a high-tech honeycomb.

 

[Fanglekai]

That is awesome!

 

[fervens]

Those honeycomb ones are amazing! So are the paper ones.
