Finished Jewellery and Gear Gun Completed

This is an asymmetrical pearl bangle I made for one of my favourite customers, Lynda.
The bangle required smooth and fused sections for the design, and I was most careful not to over fuse on a smooth surface.
The the fusing texture is very strong visually. It very easily overrules the smooth if to much is layered on.
This one worked nicely, me thinks.

This is a ring I made for Janet which is fused 18kt gold set with diamonds, ruby and sapphire.
If I had to associate myself with a style, then this is it.
I seriously like making designs like this.

I made two shapes of St Maarten. Again. They sell well.
Titanium background, 18kt white gold background and fused 18kt yellow gold.

Finished—at least to this point.

So I decided to stop at this point.

Everything is polished and sealed with a sealer.

The four brass tubes are actually custom made penlight battery holders.

When the red trigger button is pressed, all the gears in the handle turn.

.

There is actually a small DC motor in the barrel and on the copper dome the first two coiled silver electrical inputs can be seen. This motor drives the gear train.

The second coiled silver conductors go to the trigger button.

Testing the heft.

And the balance……..

This is actually where the gear gun comes from.
It is the gear system from a printer machine that a buddy of mine was trashing.

I never just trash something. I first take it apart,THEN I trash it.

Coming up next is a brass/copper clock and light combination still staying in the steam punk genre.

Long live Steam Punk
