Looks like a bit of interesting silversmithing

We're enjoying it … Just watching the Hallmark being laser-etched.

Some lovely work there. Particularly liked the texture on the beakers, I did something similar to a draw front hand carving the texture with a small gouge – a lot of work for a downstairs loo vanity unit!

That dep red enamel was also gorgeous the way the subtle pattern radiated outwards

-most enjoyable programme. Very nice to see a Myford Super 7 of the same vintage as my own being used.

Very good series of programmes

Just musing on how much the block of gold was to mount in the chuck and turn convex?

He must keep track of his swarf !!!

It seemed to turn nicely

Talking of Damascus Knives has anyone been watching "forged in fire" which goes out on a Thursday evening on History channel. 4 Bladesmiths compete to make a knife in the studio , after two have been eliminated the remaining pair get a week to make a weapon in their own workshop, winner gets $10K

Next one is Steinway pianos making repairing &restoring, should be good, only seen one forged in fire Jason they had to make a knife and the survivors made a replica Scottish Claymore without much success I thought but entertaining nevertheless

I am also very grateful to Michael G for his link as missed the programme when originally broadcast.

I would have to say probably the most interesting 30 minutes of BBC in many many years. Myford lathe, hand engraving gold etc. Wonderful!

Is there a 'niche' market us model engineers can jump on?

Cheers,

Julian
