I personally feel the challenge we all face is not to have the most sophisticated or accessorized machine(a computerized machine can put us all to shame!), it is knowing what to design so that we can then use our equipment to make it and then wowing anyone who takes the time to see it... anyway I thought I would post a piece we just finished for a decorator and client... carvings are hand done and were carved off the cabinet so they are very 3-dimensional... drawer handles are intertwined with the carvings... carvings are 23K water gilt and burnished real gold leaf(no oil size here) with a striaided lacquer background... and this is in a small entry foyer right off the passenger elevator... to give you an idea of what an expensive piece like this was given such an insignificant location... been following all of the posts and have to say the idea of 3D printing the gears in plastic is not a long term viable option in my opinion... metal is the only way to go... and if it turns out to be a bit pricey, well then that's the way it is... whether Legacy does it or some other outside source... get your order into Legacy now, bite the bullet and pay the price and simply be patient... regards to all...
