Title: Some early made XMas gifts
Post by: budman68 on August 22, 2009, 04:37:05 PM: I've been working on a couple of gifts (pendants) for my wife and daughter and thought I'd share. They're made from Corian and this stuff is really fun to work with and it has that nice vintage glow like ivory. For scale, the jump ring hole is .062.

For my daughter, the guitar pick. She's not a guitar player but a rocker at heart for sure.

For my wife, the oval pendant and it's the #27 intertwined and mirrored with a some engravings all around the edge. The #27 is just a little "inside" thing she and I share together.

Thanks for looking-

Post by: budman68 on August 22, 2009, 07:31:10 PM: Thanks, Chris, yes, that is a simple texture around the edge and I used VCarve Pro for drawing and pathing. To cut, I used my Taig Mill withe 2 different cutters (90 degr. engraving Vbit and .062 endmill) and 3 different path setups.

Ya know it's funny you mention this. I may actually end up getting into this more and more as time goes on. Not a business or anything like that but it would be nice to find someone locally that could cast things for me.

Besides, Chris is busier than hell, I'm sure he doesn't want to fool with some idiot from my side of the pond :)

Post by: Jammerm on November 12, 2009, 09:22:10 AM: I do a little casting, Brass, Aluminum and a little Cast Iron. Haven't done any precious metals yet. Still learning and figuring stuff out.
Here's Brass rose I tried a few weeks ago, like I said, I'm still learning. :P

Budman68, for some reason I can't see your pictures anymore..?? I thought it was because I was at work, but I can't see them at home either.
