A recent commission inspired from Monty Python's "The Quest for the Holy Grail"
Here is part one of the step by step process used to make the cuff links

The first step is to use some jewellers wax, a small square setion was cut from this.

After cutting the required small rectangle, the edges were filed so they were fairly smooth.

Some measurements were made and the rectabgle was given two sloping tops.

Here you can see that I have now carved out a hollow inside the shape.
