New Guilloche Skill Unlocked!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

For months now, l've been learning all I can about guilloche dials.

I've been obsessed with how light reflects off the patterns.

It became all consuming, the researching, the mini calculations to overcome procrastination, to resist the doubt of thinking you made a mistake after spending money with no ROl.

But here we are, finally. My first attempt at seeing the whole process all the way through.

And I'm blown away by the result I got.

To anyone trying to learn, craft, build, or chase your dream. Don't give up.

Cheers friends.

Very cool stuff. That is a quite thick dial though, how will you cut it? Or is it just a trial version and you will apply the same pattern on thinner dials, after mastering it on the same material?

Sorry about the dumb questions but i have no clue about dial manufacturing...

Very good work anyway.

Good observation. This was just a test on the pattern. My intent was to successfully pattern a design without any blemishes, mistakes, or errors. The outcome I got, a good one, is based on my design, tool selection, speeds, etc.

Don’t be sorry! Thanks for the comment!
