Interest Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny Dial COMPASS AND CHAIN

Just a random pic from the category "back to the drawing-board"

A little surprised how simple the mechanism is, prototype works well and should be possible to do in bronze. Parts need to be milled from both sides, maybe some detail turned and then drilled, which just adds quite some more human interaction than 3D printing.

I updated the first post with infos on V2 and moved the interest list to that post.

I can happily say that one future dial maker will adjust to my compass size (which I am convinced is correct) and graffitilogic is also open to use it, should he even make dials in the future. Bruce does his own thing - really, I don't know about his dial or his plans. My compass model will be open source when complete, so it would really be great if there could be some common agreement on that design or changes made to that version.

And I’d like to keep it that way thank you!

So a first test milling mother of pearl (not veneer) was successful. Quite a robust material. Now it’s time to add detail and then get the compass rose darkend.



Also quite happy with aging the sterling silver ring and beads. Now I just need to do it for several hundred (basically having some dozens between two sandpaper sheets, then aging fluid and sandpaper again).

Work in progress. Face is mother of pearl but far from what I am aiming for.

Interested in the deluxe version!

Added! Selection of version/components and payment will be due once I have final prototypes for everything done. Probably in a month.
