[Jewelry making - Article 00598] - [Orchid] Machining graphite block

    I just acquired several blocks of machineable/drillable graphite
    that I wish to turn into ingot molds. Frankly, I don't have a clue
    what I am doing...lol. 

    Does anyone on this list have experience using this material for
    this purpose, and how do I machine this stuff without turning my shop
    into what looks like the inside of a pencil sharpener--just handling
    this stuff turns my hands black.
