The Illusionist's heart

Step 10: Enjoy...

One of the most nerve-breaking projects I ever did. This needs precision, time and patience.

I'm really satisfied with it, nice feeling ;-)

My wife loved it, she had it right immediately ;-)

Enjoy, and good luck if you'll try this yourself!

Note: you can turn this into a pendant. I didn't because I didn't want to drill this prototype...

I don't understand how to do the screw part I'm building this and I understand everything up to the part with the screw how does the price turn?

[bricobart]

The bolt side is fixed all together, the screwhead side turns.

[TwistedJack]

so the thread side is locked in place but the head is filled down enough to fit in the hole but not come out the other side?

[bricobart]

That's it! Screw & side A are glued solidly together, side B (the side which only has a hole) turns.

Is it possible to simply cut the shape from a piece of wood, then saw it in half?

[bricobart]

It is, but you're gonna be in trouble while drilling the axis holes in the two halves. It's o so difficult to have the same angle in the two halves...

You are missing where the top/front half rotates to reveal the photo.

[DTC13]

Great look but your missing the last step

[bricobart]

And what step is this supposed to be?

[TangoDelta]

It looks beautiful, and your 'ible makes it look so easy!

Congratulations on a job extremely well done!

[bricobart]

Thank you, thank you TangoDelta! Hope it will lead you on the way to make one your own. I'm afraid a lot of woman are going to get the same valentine present next year ;-)
