Biker Guardian Bell.

Hey all, been a long time since I did this, actually forgot about it, was a fun project, I made it for myself but have since sold a few :)

A pictorial :)

The Cad of course
The CAM

Cutting up the huge wax block

Lathing it to size



Transfer from lathe to mill

Start roughing


Start Final outside cutting

Finish outside

Sacrificial wax holder for bell 

Cut to fit bell



Wax welded into place

Interior of bell being cut

by this spiral path



All done, remove bell


And the final piece! ready to hang on ur bike!

  1. WOW! Amazing. Any Video Footage of the whole process? Was the Gold Painted after cutting? What paint? Can you make me one too? :)

    1. Hi Fayyaz.... sorry no detailed footage... the "gold" is just dust over the wax - it gets cast in brass.
      email me at design@digital-jeweller.com to discuss what you want. Can make one for you exactly like this, or with your own detail on.
      Cheers
