Just finished my first lathe project although the epoxy already gave out between the wood and metal core I’m going to rough up the surfaces and mix in some black dye to hide my gaps a bit better this go around.

That looks great.  Amazing that you're able to combine the wood & metal like that

I tried putting some glass beads in the sand table before shutting it down at the Maker Faire. I noticed that the mixture of glass and baking soda caused the ball to wobble a lot will drawing lines due to the inconsistant density/mass or the mixture.

It was not sparkly either, but if you take a picture with the flash on the camera, the beads would reflect the light back to the camera.

I shot some video, too, and I'll post links soon.

When I got the table back home I filled the table with just the glass beads. The ball makes a loud grinding noise as it moves through the beads, and it tends to throw them much more than the baking soda. It looks like it would be best to run at much lower speeds with the glass beads on the table. I took a few pictures with and without flash to see how it would look.

I also discovered an interesting effect- if you hold the light off to the side and a certain position you see a double rainbow in the beads. The weird part is that one eye sees one of the rainbows and the other eye sees the other.

wheeee!

i found sometimes the rim of my glasses would create really trippy motivational rainbows on all the retro reflective fabric i wood work on. i thought it was the light, but really the lenses!

have fun!
