Japanese style DIAL 1

Now I am trying to make new dial with Japanese traditional pattern "Same-Komon" motif. "Same-Komon" is very small circular dot pattern used from Edo-period.

Using 0.4mm thick brass plate and hand drilled to open many many small holes...irritated my eyes.

At the lathe, cutting the diameter.

These holes of pattern will be stuffed with dark-silver paint.

That's all for today.
