Texturing the background in the “Nightmare Frog Pocket Fetish” 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! #tomsterlingengraving #handengraving #carbide3d #carbidecommunity #nomad883 #nomadpro #usnstagram #jewelry #jewelrymaking #fusion360 #fidgettoys

With texturing and shading on the hand engraved portion of the “Nightmare Frog Pocket Fetish” I’m going to call this side finished. Now to finish the CNC frog side... #tomsterlingengraving #handengraving #carbide3d #carbidecommunity #nomad883 #nomadpro #usnstagram #jewelry #jewelrymaking #fusion360 #fidgettoys

Here’s my tiny Nomad 883 desktop CNC milling a moose antler skull cache pocket fetish. #tomsterlingengraving #handengraving #carbide3d #carbidecommunity #nomad883 #nomadpro #usnstagram #jewelry #jewelrymaking #fusion360 #fidgettoys

Creating some experimental skull cache pocket fetishes, in moose and elk antler, and boxwood. Just ‘cause I’m curious...we’ll see what happens. #tomsterlingengraving #handengraving #carbide3d #carbidecommunity #nomad883 #nomadpro #usnstagram #jewelry #jewelrymaking #fusion360 #fidgettoys

Saving the tellurium copper crab pocket fetish... The lonely crab needs some silver barnacles. I melt a ball on the end of a silver wire and use a tiny homemade blacksmith’s nail header to create fat rivets. Here I’ve used punches to shape the barnacles. Still need to detail the barnacles... #tomsterlingengraving #handengraving #carbide3d #carbidecommunity #nomad883 #nomadpro #usnstagram #jewelry #jewelrymaking #fusion360 #fidgettoys

Saving the tellurium copper crab pocket fetish... hand engraving and carving leaves the legs somewhat square in cross-section. I use small flat nosed punches in my Lindsay Airgraver to round over those square areas and pound down those CNC mill marks. In the lower right corner you can see the right half of the crab has been fully sculpted, but not the left half. The punch also leaves a nice texture. #tomsterlingengraving #handengraving #carbide3d #carbidecommunity #nomad883 #nomadpro #usnstagram #jewelry #jewelrymaking #fusion360 #fidgettoys

Saving the tellurium copper crab pocket fetish... Side B (the octopus) milled correctly, but about 2/3rds through the CNC milling process of the crab the machine stalled (maybe a power transient?) before the finishing pass to refine the details. While the result is pretty cool, it isn't what I had in mind, and it's even missing the third leg on the left side. Not to worry, I'll be using hand engraving techniques to save the 4 hours of milling and days of computer modeling. With a square graver, tiny carbide ball burrs and flat nosed punch I'll be engraving and carving the details the CNC missed. #tomsterlingengraving #handengraving #carbide3d #carbidecommunity #nomad883 #nomadpro #usnstagram #jewelry #jewelrymaking #fusion360 #fidgettoys
