Re: Bespoke Drinks Coasters
Lovely work!
I don't suppose you were allowed to put a maker's name on the back?
Re: Bespoke Drinks Coasters
I think something small and tasteful would have been permitted - although it would more than likely have been the design agency that got first dibs on that..!

Re: Bespoke Drinks Coasters
Very nice indeed, what did you use to put the radius around the top edge ?
Re: Bespoke Drinks Coasters
Thanks guys.
Eddy, I used a 3mm radius one of these:

They're really useful tools - I use mine a fair bit. You program it as a 1.5mm tool (tip diameter), touch off the tip and plunge it to a depth of 3mm - in reality you might want to leave it just shy of 3mm, too deep is less forgiving than a tiny bit too shallow...

Re: Bespoke Drinks Coasters
Hats off to you Wal, those look fantastic, very nice:cheerful:
I've often thought about getting some corian, but could never find any offcuts and a full sheet would just be too expensive for playing around with.
Re: Bespoke Drinks Coasters
Yeah - a full sheet set me back £780..!
I imagine I could have got it cheaper directly from the manufacturer, but they won't sell it to you unless you're an approved fabricator - ie. taken their instructional course in how to use it (cut, glue etc.)
You just need to get lucky in terms of finding off-cuts. A lot of what's out there has metallic flecks etc, so might not be suitable for the intended purpose.

Re: Bespoke Drinks Coasters
Hi Wal,
What thickness was the corian sheet? did you have to cut it to thinner pieces ? I have some beige pieces left over from the kitchen refit, about 25mm thick. Not Corian but a stone filled acrylic, similar to the DuPont product, but half the price.
Cheers,
Rob
