Hello all, I have an idea I've been milling about for a while now and unsure which direction to go with it! I have a detailed drawing of a clock base, it's quite intricate in design. I'd like to recreate this (just the clock base and I'd add the hands separately). My knowledge of different techniques is probably still a bit limited, but I've come up with two options so far. I could somehow convert this into a 3D image suitable to send and have it cast (this may be easier said than done but I've been trying out different 3D software that I'm finding free online), or I could print out the drawing on blue PNP paper and transfer it to a sheet of metal and use etching solution which I suppose is a simpler solution.
I considered carving a piece of wax but there is so much fine detail in it I'm unsure about doing this as I want to keep it small and delicate....any other methods I could try that I'm not thinking of?
