Nice work, Ksor. In the 1960's I did something similar on the aluminium instrument panel of a 1940s car, with an electric drill in a stand, a little felt polishing mop and some abrasive paste. But it was aluminium, and soon looked dull, even though I varnished it.

What type of brush do you use?
Never used cutting paste which is the same as grinding/lapping paste. Always did it dry.

A trick if havent a jig or means of controlling the pattern is to overlap it. If following a pattern, the one slightly out will stick out like a sore thumb.

It's really 'engine turning' which is worth a Google- or more.

Blow up the pictures - some sort of (plastic) abrasive felt - for polishing your kitchen sink - dobble sided sticky tape for carpets - and a drill press !

nice job ksor,
I followed the youtube link and could watch the Guilloche at work all day and not get bored, such a simple yet brilliant machine.
I would love to have a play with one.

Nice work ksor, she should be plenty happy with that.

Guilloche's work is almost unbelievable, I could have that same machine and my art work would look like stick people done by a three year old.
