Finished 18k diamond and andalusite pendant.


I have purchased a new toy, but it won't come for 9 months this is the Bugatti of hand engraving tools. The Lindsay palm control with amboyna burl handle and engraved by Steve Lindsay himself. Excited to see this in my shop in 2026.

Wow, that's quite a bit of detail work, as well as setting all those stones.

I have been busy as shit, y'all.

Now I can cast.



I removed the 3 key controller and replaced it with an 8 ramp 8 dwell controller with a ton of features. I'll be casting gold this weekend.
