Morse Code engraving on Ti wedding rings

[Arnaud Van Tilburgh]

After the Ti wedding rings with the elves lettering, another customers came with this idea he and she want on their wedding rings.
It is a kind of Morse codes both different on both rings.
The most difficult part was the lay out so that the code was diagonal 360° around.
But I found an easy solution for that.

here are the codes:

Here the result:

great! I love the idea and how you have Expressed it in the rings,Bravo!

 

[Sam]

An interesting idea, although I've never seen Morse code represented as such. When written it's normally . and - Can you explain for us old ham radio operators?

 

[Arnaud Van Tilburgh]

Sam, this was the idea of the customers

| = letterspace
|| = wordspace
/ = o (dit)
\ = - (dah)

boodschap bij man: VOOR EEUWIG ANNELIES
boodschap bij vrouw: VOOR ALTIJD DAVID

man: ooo-|---|---|o-o||o|o|oo-|o--|oo|--o||o-|-o|-o|o|o-oo|oo|o|ooo||
= ///\|\\\|\\\|/\/||/|/|//\|/\\|//|\\/||/\|\/|\/|/|/\//|//|/|///||


vrouw: ooo-|---|---|o-o||o-|o-oo|-|ooo|o---|-oo||-oo|o-|ooo-|oo|-oo||
= ///\|\\\|\\\|/\/||/\|/\//|\|//|/\\\|\//||\//|/\|///\|//|\//||

Another thing I have to point on, these like all other wedding rings, I make them out of a sheet of Titanium. So there is a welding as well.
The woman wanted it a higher profile (2mm), while the man wanted a lower profile (1.5 mm)

Ok thanks for the explanation
Very cool idea.

 

[lesholmes]

Sam, Thanks for asking. I held K4TVM in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

[BES]

Great idea!
Never seen such a record of Morse code.

 

[Tira]

Very cool idea and beautiful execution.

 

[gantzi]

I like both the idea and the results!
Can you share your solution for the diagonal layout?

 

[Arnaud Van Tilburgh]

Guy, for the diagonal layout I used the Ring Genie. I used some Rodico to hold the ring on a smaller collet under an angle, just turned 360° bringing down the Mill/Drill Assembly layout.
