We've covered many of the outstanding projects from FrankG and now he's gone and made us blush... He writes -
"I've just completed a small metal casting project based on the "Make:" Logo. I was hoping that I could send it along to you as a small token of my appreciation for the "Blog" Coverage that Makezine has provided theworkshop.ca..." - Link.
Frank, I'm sitting in a puddle in a flooded apartment, in a pile of ruined stuff - this made it all seem ok, thanks man!

The process of design is identical to Frank's, I used Rhino and Bobcad (cad and cam). Rather than casting for the bracelet I made a rolling mill die, and for the keyring I just milled it directly into the material.
I like those castings!
