Guilloche - Introducing The Rose Engine (Happy Anniversary, Mrs Clickspring.)

#guilloche
Hi Folks,
Here is an introduction video for the Rose Engine, a companion machine to the Straight Line Engine for generating Guilloché. Much like the recent SLE video I have put this video together without narration, as more of a chill out thing. The plate material is fine silver, the pattern is sometimes referred to as 'Escargot' and the pendant is an anniversary gift for my lovely wife. The enamel is from Milton Bridge, 263 Series K62 Jade. More detail on the casting & finishing of the pendant structure in a later video.
Do please enjoy!
Cheers,
Chris.

I'm rewatching the video third time, just for the relaxing music. Are the soundtracks exclusively recorded for your channel? I love relaxing music and prefer it much over modern songs which are mostly noise. So if it is available somewhere online, that'd be awesome. By the way, it's been years watching you, ThisOldTony and Abom79, and I am grateful for the content you gentlemen have produced. Many congratulations on your anniversary! May you get many more, and live happy and healthy lives. Best regards from Pakistan,

Yup. Every time someone is an arse about being good at something, just bring up Clickspring and they calm right down again. Personally I would love to be so good that at 3 meters distance, in a bit shallow light, it could pass for a Clickspring test piece if I'm not wearing my glasses.

[@Turboy65]

I love Victorian era engine turnings and Rose engines. They are a product of the time when human intelligence was at its absolute peak. Beyond this point, you could be less intelligent and survive thanks to the industrialization and labor saving devices that became available as a result of the intelligence and hard work of so many people, leading up to that time. The workmanship seen here is stunning. It makes me wish I had the same skills and tools.

[@slarti42uk]

Aha, so that's how you get wife approval on a new machine purchase! Seriously though, fantastic craftsmanship as always. I can only envy the levels of patience and skill you've developed.

[@Wtfinc]

no kidding. was that lab grown? i also need that mortar and pestal.
