Orange Aluminum Winding Checks?

Hello all,

I'm looking for Orange Aluminum Winding checks and found no one carries them, no mudhole or even matagi. Could someone please point me into a good direction for orange winding checks?

Thank you!

Here's something out of the box ... turn one from acrylic.

You could also get any color you can find cheap and powder coat them. Powder coating is cheap and relatively easy, especially on small stuff.

Jim,
Are you using a chuck to hold this when you turn them? If you could e-mail me with the "peticulars" or an open post.

thanks

Yes. I simply chuck 1/2 the block into the lathe, drill the center to the correct ID and about 1" in depth, shape the exterior, cut loose and then sand the bottom on a piece of paper (use finger, drawing figure 8s). It really is easy, just give it a try.
