Not long ago, a large wood turning supplies vendor was offering circuit board pen blanks at clearance prices and I decided to spring for a few of these. My husband is a “techie,” having made a living as a technology executive and sales consultant for years and he still maintains an active knowledge base and daily application of technology in our lives. And, I figured that I would identify others who might have a similar interest or background. Besides, I didn’t see the point in paying shipping for just one blank!<\/p>\n
My Past Experience<\/h2>\n
I had worked with these blanks before, years ago, as well as others constructed in a similar manner. So, I knew that these blanks, consisting of a large amount of sticky and brittle acrylic surrounding the core of the blank that features the circuit board parts, can be, to put it politely, challenging to work with. Simply put, the acrylic shatters easily, especially along the corners.<\/p>\n
