Hi all!
Just want to show you some watch parts samples engraved with my machine.
The rotor's brass part radius is 10 mm. The watch's back is 316L SS.
I added a better picture of the bridge I showed in other thread. It's diameter is 36 mm.
Hope you like them!
Leonardo
Well, this is the Josep work of art!:yes
He have been working on it (on and off) along the last 18 years doing the gold work as well as Jordi with the engravings.

Jewel pictures.
Well, the photos arrive this morning so I am posting a couple here to illustrate the application but will start a new thread with all the others because I think that Josep's work deserves its own place and also will add some explanation.

Hi Rod, I bought the Tagua seeds from Nayá Nayón, and have chosen “slice double, quality A” in 6mm thickness. These pieces are almost perfect without defects.
I think that you can do really nice rings from these slices.
Hi Katherine! Nice to “meet” you for the first time. I agree with you on...
Thank you Chris for your directions.
I have not received my order from Nayá Nayón yet so I cannot tell you anything about the quality until I have it here. Hope it will be of good grade and quality
Best regards, Leonardo.
Hi Andrew,
I am quoting here a paragraphs from the site linked above:
"Like elephant ivory, the seeds can be fashioned into all sorts of beautiful objects, from chess pieces, buttons and pendants to knife handles and belt buckles with intricate scrimshaw designs."
Also you can buy the tagua...
Same days a go a friend gave me this seed to make it a try.
It is a seed of a Tagua palm tree also called "vegetal ivory". Extremely hard for being a vegetable but easy workable with common tools. I cut it with a metal handsaw and then was sanded and polished before engraving.
I made this...
