Pave' infinity in palladium

2010-04-01T01:11:00.004Z

Blogger somehow messed the order...

Here is a pendant carved in wax, as shown, cast in palladium and set with 123 melee @1.6mm ea. Extensive prepping of seats before setting ensures consistant and tight setting results. Also, a microscope is a must for fine work.

One of the most challenging CAD pieces to date, turned out great. 99 stones in all. Do not take credit for design although I think my version is far better.

Shark Earrings

Here are those earrings I said I would post. Have been doing some interesting pieces as of late. Those are real shark teeth. Not sure if they are truly fossilized teeth but they are cool.

This is my bench as it looked a while back.

Dog/Cat Pin

2009-03-23T14:36:00.005Z

Hand made multi-functional sculpture piece auctioned off at SPCA. 18KY and W. It opens up to reveal an internal pendulum system that moves the tails of the both the dog and cat when it is tilted in either direction. It functions as both a stick pin that rotates to wear as a dog or cat, witch ever you prefer, or remove the stick pin and flip up the swivel mechanism to wear as a pendant. This was quite an involved piece to make especially to balance the pendulum.

macBook Pro woes with battery.

2008-10-27T00:02:00.004Z

More macBook pro issues with battery. Note, I notice this after upgrading from 10.4 to 10.5. The issue is that the laptop will just shut off without warning and corrupt files along the way. Also 118 cycles it is at 50% capacity or about an hour at full screen brightness. It should be over 90%. If you use vmware and have it open, it will corrupt your partition. I down-graded back to 10.4 and the issue went away. Problem is if you use bootcamp, 10.4's bootcamp is a beta version and you must upgrade to 10.5 to make it work again. One other thing I notice is that the wi-fi is weaker with 10.5.
