Making tracery using the turning lathe! guilloché

I'm going to make that for my wife. I bet she'll be thrilled to find an M2.5 thread cutter inside the jewelry box!

I'm just a machine operator and I love watching the machine make cuts and watching this guy amazes me

Quick tip for improving your work: If you use a lathe tool with a lager nose radius, you will get way nicer finishes without sanding. Your very pointy HSS turning tool needs very slow feedrates to reach a low surface roughness. If you have a grinder, just grind the point to a nice large radius, maybe 1,5mm or even more, this will dramaticly improve your surface finishes on facing and turning operations. Hone your tool to a very sharp edge afterwards, this gives almost mirror like finishes without the need for sanding.

I suspect your other half will really appreciate that M2.5 die you're lovingly created a box for! Do they have a matching tap??

Nice effect. Can I ask a possibly dumb question....Why not just make a tool that does 5 lines at a time and save yourself a ton of passes and adjustments?

It's crazy that clickspring just uploaded a vid of him using a rose machine to build a silver tracery necklace for his wife, i was thinking, "man I'd love to see more vids like that...."

Fantastic! Sharp mind and sharp tools fueled by a good imagination!

Your channel is a gem, so glad youtube recommended it

this is a watch press for removing crystal faces from bezels. sometimes watch backs use the same press with a different tool end.

That little press may have been used for stamping shapes out of a metal sheet? Thats probably what the chute underneath is for. Let the cut part fall through and then you could just slide more of the metal sheet into position for another cut

Absolutely stunning!👏👏👏👍👍👍

This makes me happy... In so many ways!

Lovely turning of wood and metal machining. Very cool project!

Need to make one of these for a 10mm socket as well.

Great job, love the different wood.

Very enjoyable watch thank you. I hadn't read the text before watching and wondered what was so special about that 2.5mm die. :)

as always clean and accurate

With your awesome skills with the lathe, and other tools, I'm sure you could make your own coins.( or similar) And I like the music, as it is relaxing, as I am watching you create another masterpiece.

Sweet! Looks like someone is going to propose to a M2.5 bolt! 😂😂

Beautiful. Inspirational even
