Nice work Colin! I notice a lot of your castings are in 9 karat. Is that pretty much the standard in Australia? On the other hand, as heavy as your pieces are, they'd be $$$ in 14 or 18 karat. By the way, your 9 karat has a nice color. Are you alloying your own gold or using a premixed alloy? Keep u...

Welcome Dave!
Welcome aboard from a reformed rockhound/facetor to another.
I used to be addicted to rocks (not the kind you smoke) until I got the mill hehe. This little puppy can do whatever your imagination can conjour up.

Thanks! The pic doesn't show the real detail. I seem to be having a hard time getting lighting and camera angles right. The globe in the corner actually shows the latitude and longitude lines but the lighting has too many reflections to pick it up. I posted the parameters in the model player forum. ...

Got Dime?
How small can we go?
This tie tac measures 16.5 x 10 mm and the letters are smaller than that on a dime!
Never ceases to amaze me. I'm working on one with letters even smaller than this now. I will post when done.

Dental Pin
Welp, I just finished it.
I was hoping not to have to put a texture on the background and won't next time (Thanks Jeff!) but it turned out well. The dark areas are shadows (they just look like scratches).
Maybe I can get in good with my dentist and get some free work! NOT!

Welcome Jeff! Looks like we have 2 Jeffs now :lol: Although I've only done a couple of scanning jobs, it seems its fairly straight forward. The only problem I've run into was getting the computer to recognise the scanner. But Jeff got that cleared up quick. If you get stuck, ask here and I'm sure th...

Another one from Ken
There's more than one way to skin a cat! These were milled flat, cast, then bent to shape. I had to anneal them 3 times during the bending process (learned the hard way- the first one cracked and I had to laser weld the break). Engagement ring has 20- .01ct with a 1.5ct center stone. The wedding ban...
