is it possible to cut a disk made of cow dung?
i have a circa 1940's Presto 6N and a vintage Guernsey and I was curious if anyone here has tried to cut using a dung-disk? I made 3 test discs by mixing the dung with 1 part lacquer in a blender, forming it into a disc and allowing it to harden. I completely ruined my blender and when I tried to cut the disk it literally turned to crap. now my number one lathe has number 2 all over it. do you think it has anything to do with the cows diet or am I doing something wrong? There is surprisingly little info on the net about using dung dubs. can anyone here help? also can anyone recommend a good incense?

So if you're using dung dubs and someone says this tune sounds like shit do you take offense or say thank you
all the best!

I live in the city, for me its very difficult to find this raw material, is there anybody who has an idea of where can I found any dung international trader? I think Argentinian guys have lots of cows but taxes are very high. any suggestions on this? thanks in advance.-

I found a new pressing company. PM me for details.

Would you make a J. Bieber dung disk for me ?

How could you ask such a feculent question? You would have to record the Chinese folk tune, "Oh, How I Love To Carry Cow Waste Up The Hill For The Commune"...
