Rewind-Concepts
Automotive-inspired jewellery, original ideas, inhouse designed & made
That's it for the MG project...
It's an Emgee kinda day. Only for Specials.
When you apply what you studied in jewellery school on widgets you are making for a vintage car... Cabochons for a pair of T nuts. TOTT.
Time to resurface for air after pushing the limits of the mini lathe and mini mill. Now to fit aquamarine cabochons for the T nuts.
Machined a Daimler Sovereign blanking plate to accommodate two USB ports. One happy customer.
Growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.
Carb dashpot caps packaged and ready to fly.
An SU carburettor dashpot cap for a classic Lotus anyone? Only one Elite will carry a special pair we've just made, complete with 0.8mm vent holes, damper provision, recess for the piston to travel its full range and, enough thread so neither becomes an escapee.
When generic butterfly nuts won't do for your Special. With stainless steel bolts. Can't mill them fast enough.
Nothing wrong with adding a bit more class (and brass) to a pre-war sports car's oil filler cap. Bespoke, one off stuff.
Combining Unimat workholding with a Sherline CNC to produce what will hopefully be a stunning oil filler cap for a prewar....
MightY pleased the little mill could produce this sort of a finish on this block of 6061 aluminium... though coolant had to be used in place of compressed air. The fun is just about to begin with out of the box workholding for a very large number of precision holes.
A new aluminium handle turned for a jewellery rolling mill at the school I attend classes at. Inspiration came from the gear shift off a Hewland DG300 transmission on a centre seat CanAm race car.
Another auto-bling project coming up for the little CNC mill to sink its 0.3mm teeth into. Don't you just love working with yellow brass?
Custom fan switch for a Daimler Sovereign LWB. Junked the plastic for a turned and milled brass piece. Cool cooling.
20 bespoke knurled sleeves banged out using a mini lathe and CNC mill to replace aged plastic pieces for the lower front grille on a '72 Daimler Sovereign LWB.
A breakfast barn find somewhere between Fernhurst and Midhurst with four MGs...en route to the Goodwood Hotel for another rendezvous.
An MGA in Godalming, en route to Portsmouth and the ferry to Spain for the Picos de Europa rally. TC in the background.
