Some of McCay's stuff

Here's a few of my things that I've made using the mill. The diamond star pendant is the first item I milled. It's not perfect, but I thought it was pretty good for a first attempt. I apologize for the larger file sizes. I will post more later in a different topic so that I don't overload anyone with a phone modem.

Nice jobs McCay, well done!

Did you do the celtic knot on the side of the shank with the mill?
Looks like your starting to get the "milling bug".

regards Colin

Nice!

any hints on the sides of the celtic knot?

I have to cover up some initials on the sides (deep hand engraved) of a heavy gent signet ring that we made years back and was going to try and mill eagles directly into the gold

A couple of you asked about the sides of the ring. I milled the side knots as a shield type pattern and then laid them into the shank that I had carved. I haven't tried milling directly into gold yet. It seems like using Dr. Picza to scan the ring and get a contour would be the best way to modify the deep engraving. I've included a couple more pics. The cufflinks are a replica of the SC state flag. I scanned a brass pair with picza and then milled a wax directly from the scan. The other is a scroll band I made to replace a lost one.
