Recycled Plastic Turning !!

I was kindly sent these Plastic blanks to try out from Atlas Games, they are made mostly from melted down High Density Polyethylene HDPE, this plastic is used in diverse consumer goods such as milk jugs, pails, soda bottle caps, snow sleds, and much more. . The blanks were a good size for Salt & Pepper pots and being from HDPE I thought they were ideal.. They turned pretty good using carbide tools, easier than some resins that I have turned and I thought they looked cool and definitely unique. I did have a couple of voids to contend with but the beauty of these blanks is you just pick up some of the shavings and melt them with a heat gun and fill the voids.
We can get a lot of stick for the waste we produce while turning resins and wood but these are made from waste, so that can only be a good thing and they look pretty cool too...
Follow the links to check out the blanks and the company that makes them.
