Wheel Cutting Engine
I just thought I'd add this little vid of my Dad using his wheel cutting engine, much fun will be had with this machine (provided he lets me use it hehe), so watch this space!
I'm probably doing too many things at once these days but hey ho. I make jewellery, mainly working in silver, and at the moment am dreaming about the day I can start making some automata (always gets put off 'til another day). I restore clock dials for the family clock making business, and make various little decorative bits of metalwork like fingers or anything that needs gold leaf. I do a few hours a week in the local college teaching jewellery as part of the BTEC Design and Foundation Degree courses which I love, it's quite inspirational and keeps the brain ticking over.
