Thursday trivia

Here is an easy one for you:

The following are abbreviated steps for making something. What is it?

1. Laminate the core

2.Glue up and true a piece to be cut into 4 pieces for the body.

3.Drill holes for weight adjustment. Glue the 4 pieces to the core to get proper thickness in the right place.

4. Turn it to shape on a lathe.

5. cover outer surface with plastic to protect the wood.

6. Cut off bottom tenon that was used to hold it and glue on plastic end cap.

7. Clean up flashing, paint, and ship.

Re: That was...

a pinning good question. Although, Stephens round about answer gave it a way. Googled what I though it was and still don't understand the flashing part.

Thanks for the question

Re: That was...

When you mold something, you usually get a bit of squeezeout at the mold joints and some where the material was forced into the mole. These mold lines etc. are called flashing (noun).

Re: Thanks,

The give away was drilling the holes to adjust weight, ever tried to turn a mallet from an old one of these?
