\nCNC milling the \u201cNightmare Frog Pocket Fetish\u201d in tellurium copper. I fought with computer modeling this monster all weekend!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\nHere\u2019s what the CNC was milling beneath the coolant bath. The \u201cNightmare Frog Pocket Fetish\u201d in tellurium copper. This side needs gold eyes and some screws. After that, something needs to be engraved on the back. That\u2019s a quarter next to it\u2026<\/p>\n

\nHere\u2019s the backside of the \u201cNightmare Frog Pocket Fetish\u201d in tellurium copper. This side is being hand engraved. You can see it from the design transfer stage to the completed 24 karat gold gear inlay.<\/p>\n

\nWith texturing and shading on the hand engraved portion of the \u201cNightmare Frog Pocket Fetish\u201d I\u2019m going to call this side finished. Now to finish the CNC frog side\u2026<\/p>\n

\nTexturing the background in the \u201cNightmare Frog Pocket Fetish\u201d in tellurium copper. Difficult to get the tiny carbide bur down into the tight spots. Have to be very careful not to let it get out of control!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nWith the addition of a small leather wallet , the \u201cNightmare Frog Pocket Fetish\u201d is finished. A little more than 2 inches tall, in 1\/4 inch thick tellurium copper and 24 karat gold.<\/p>\n

Thanks for Looking!<\/strong><\/p>\n
