Building David’s MADE lathe

May 3, 2016 Brittany Nicole Cox Leave a comment

From the bench of Brittany N. Cox:

While visiting David’s workshop late last year and again this year, he was in the process of finally assembling his MADE lathe – an endeavor that took over 6 years. Here are some photos of the lathe during assembly.

This video to accompany the “Iris Pendant” by my friend @bd_mastermind described in my previous post. #bryandrummond #artjewelry
This is the “Iris Pendant” that my good friend @bd_mastermind showed at the Art Basel show in Miami last weekend. It’s no wonder his display won an award. The “iris” opens and closes (see the sequential photos and the coming video) revealing the centerpiece stone. Comprised of over 20 parts made of gold and silver this magnificent piece is not only studded with jewels but also includes vitreous enamel work which accentuates them. Bryan combined the modern and the ancient by modeling the parts in 3D CAD and then using a printer to make models which were then cast after which he painstakingly hand finished and fit every part to operate with smoothness and grace. He then fired the enamel (no plastic here, to be sure) and set the jewels. This piece is currently available at a price that reflects a young artist emerging, he is on his way up rapidly. Check out his Instagram feed for a lot more great work too. #bryandrummond #artjewelry #goldsmithing #emergingartist
Glad to have received my new fountain pen from @schon_dsgn . It’s lovely and compact. If you’re looking for a great Christmas gift he has several models of both fountain and roller ball pens available in brass, aluminum, and titanium. He makes watches as well, @the_schon Check out his feeds. #ianschon #fountainpen #metalart
My wife, @whitestonecreates , is making Christmas tree acorn ornaments to support a charity. She’s employed her Ames lathe as well as our Clausing along with a rose engine with a dome chuck set on top of a double eccentric chuck for the flutes and an eccentric cutter doing pumping for the tops. See what’s available on IG at #availablewhitestonecreationco Her post notes are below. I was delighted by the idea of making these ornaments with the idea of raising funds for our church who has been compressed into a small frame and is seemingly bursting out of its shell. All the proceeds, your entire check, PayPal payment and (of course) cash, will go directly into the building fund. See what’s available at #availablewhitestonecreationco $35.00 for one. If you buy three or more they’re $28.00 each. Either way shipping is included in the price if you live in the USA. Otherwise the shipping cost will adjusted. DM or FB message me or comment below to get one for yourself and all your friends. I thought of all the symbolism that these little nut cases hold, and it’s easy to apply to our little community and yours as well. These are such a sweet reminder that a tiny acorn, with time, can also be the start of a whole forest of mighty oak trees and with the right nurturing, something magnificent is waiting. C.S. Lewis conveyed the idea of potential well. “There are no ordinary people. The dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or the other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics.” -C.S. Lewis God, who prepares His work through ages, accomplishes it when the hour is come, with the feeblest instruments." - J.H. Merle d'Aubigne
One of the more simple operations but important nonetheless, after a wheel is bored true (see recent video) we then ream to size. This brings them all to the same size and allows the boring operation to go faster and without worries. Sadly, few clock shops keep reamers. They are utterly useful and so often ignored. It is a Walker Turner still press. #lindowclockmaker #lindowmachineworks #clockmaking #machinetools #walkerturnerdrillpress

Another clock from the Hartwigs and DeBlaay collaborations. Featuring the “whale tail” motif after a Thomas Jackson clock this project included participation from Chris Harter who made a number of these through the years and is still an active cabinetmaker who is amongst the best Windsor chair makers in the country. Jackson was a Connecticut clockmaker who appears to have used the same cabinetmaker as The more famous Thomas Harland. There are few examples of Jackson’s work left; however, our local county museum has an example which was brought by one of the early settlers of our area as our area was settled mainly by people from that area of Connecticut. The dial was painted by Martha Smallwood and features her signature roses which surpass any I have ever seen. This clock was made in the 1980’s. #gerhardhartwigs #gerhardhartwigsclockcompany #periodtallclock #longcaseclock #lindowclockmaker #horology #clockmaking
Another product of the collaborative efforts of Gerhard Hartwigs and Bill DeBlaay from the early 1980’s. I am proud to continue the tradition and own this as my horological heritage. Dial painted by Martha Smallwood. She was the best. Her daughter Kathi Seiwert still carries the mantle. #gerhardhartwigs #gerhardhartwigsclockcompany #lindowmachineworks #clockmaking #horology #periodtallclock #longcaseclock
The first of the clock collaborations between clockmaker Gerhard Hartwigs, the man who taught me the trade, and Bill DeBlaay, designer for L&Jg Stickley and Kittenger Furniture. Built in 1978. The ship was built by DeBlaay, the chapter rings were done by Chelsea. BTW, our invoices still say “Hartwigs Clock Company at the top. #tallclock #longcaseclock #clockmaking #gerhardhartwigs #gerhardhartwigsclockcompany #lindowclockmaker #horology #stickleyfurniture
