Mlle Germain:
I've actually thought about reviving this thread several times myself, but I somehow never did - I guess I wasn't sure enough that people would be interested.
TSK, what kind of coasters are you going to make?
My own craft is crochet, by the way. I make stuffed animals; right now I'm on an armadillo. I also want to learn to knit at some point.

Ooo, I hope you share some pictures. :)
The Seldom Killer:
Mlle Germain - I'm taking the worn out cassettes (block of cogs that fits on the back wheel of bicycles) and breaking them down into their component cogs. These will then be cleaned and polished and cast in the resin. I may put some felt feet on the bottom, I haven't decided yet.
Chainings (the big cogs that are attached to the pedal crank arms) are going to be turned into trivets. I need to resolve a heat resistant paint issue for this.
Any cogs or chainrings that aren't appropriate for either coasters or trivets are going to be reserved for something else creative. I haven't decided what yet.

Radiator paint?

Would resin be an ok material for a trivet, even with heat resistant paint? I'm only asking because I've only seen metal and ceramic ones.
