Me and some others were talking about this one for some time in a thread in the Junkyard. There is the licensed version, which is far from accurate.
So, i decided to tackle this one and use some of my recently aquired skills to see if i could make a better version.
Last night i finished the prototype. Been working on it during the etching sessions of the lighters as i like to make the best of my time.
The pendant is made off brass and really small in size, about an inch in diameter. It is more timeconsuming than i thought i'd be. It takes about 6 hour to make one of these and it is really easy to make a mistake along the way, rendering your work useless (trust me, the one below is the fourth one and only good one i made
)
the trefoil is done out of 3 identical electroetched pieces. They were cut out/filed,sanded and polished. Then they were hardsoldered. They need to be done this way as it is a woven piece as you can see. The ring was milled on my mill.
the ring is brass too and also hardsoldered. then the piece was nickleplated and goldplated. to finish it blue paint was put in the groove.
There are some things i need to tweak, but overall i am pretty happy with it.
