mike dubber did a couple bracelets that are mindful of that. although his work was far less involved in overall complexity. his was very eyecatching for sure.

I gave it a quick shot on the engraving machine..
Sorry for poor quality of the pic and the brass plate but the result is surprising.. I like it a lot... thanks for the tip..I will use that somewhere sometime

Been away a few days so just catching up
Looking good
But you don't have to follow the video to a tee, Try tessellations and even curves
there are so many possibilities, and the whole design can change as to the direction you do each area
clockwise or anticlockwise
couple of examples

interesting. i experimented along those lines some time ago.inspired by mr. hands. i liked the concept with scroll, but never got serious about this sort of design with the straight lines.

On a further note
This gave raise to other concepts, so I had a bit of a fiddle on AutoCAD
The drawings are not great but I was exploring ideas
With some correct shading not my greatest area the whole image could change
But I'm having fun exploring the boundaries of my imagination.
Lets face it life should be fun



Cheers
