does work count? 

im an engineer at a large foundry.  we specialize in centrifugal castings, so we make mostly round things with holes in them, natch.   today actually i engineered my smallest part ever, 3" OD x 5/8" thick cobalt (stellite) ring.  the largest jobs to go across my desk are seal rings for a hydro-electric dams.  last month i did a 180" set (+/- 0.005" on the ID too).

I have an old wood stove in the basement.  I added a copper coil that feeds a hot water storage tank which feeds my domestic hot water.  Obviously there's more to it, expansion tank, pressure relief, etc.  make the beast with two backs you OPEC!

That's purty flooring.  I'll be interested to know how you like it from a durability standpoint.  I have been wanting to replace my downstairs flooring with something light.

It makes me happy that people are interpreting "Made This" broadly -- music, bread, well-farmed freshies, engineering, work, home improvements. Babies.

And the level that you're all working at is really inspiring; I tend to give away a lot of my work, because when I look at it I see the mistakes or the things I would/should have done a bit differently. Seeing real craftsmen & craftswomen at work here & elsewhere gives me motivation to get back to it. Well, except for the babies part. We've got our hands full with one teen as it is.

Thanks!!

Here is a little something from awhile back.



Beautiful work!  What is that stone, and what do you call a cut like that, with the little "wings" on each side?

It's a cubic zirconium, but if your woman asks, use the more common name of "Diamond".  Wink

No, that's the real thing!

The center stone is a 19ct (E, VS1) radiant cut and the side stones are 3ct (E, VS1 & 2) trillion cut each. The mounting is made out of platinum.

No CZ work out of my shop!

There becomes a point when the diamond can be too big......

That ring passed that point 24 cts ago..... Tongue

Is it a very stunning setting and highlights the stones well.   waytogo

It's a setting worthy of such a jaw-dropping piece of geology. Fantastic work.
