Designed by San Diego artist Christopher Schaie and crafted from parts milled on his ShopBot CNC robot, this beautiful wood-and-brass irising shutter is to be installed, with a glass dome on one side, to serve as the peephole in a nautical-themed door he is building for his studio. Details, including DXF files, in this thread on the ShopBot forum.
