I got the idea to make this from the movie The Illusionist, I was very intrigued as to how something like this could be made. As i count really find a set of easy instructions to make one of these, i decided to make my own. I took a lot of pics , but towards the end i kinda forgot to, but im sure it'll easy enough to make.
This is quite a difficult project, but thats only because everything is so small . I myself have very little experience and thats why the finished product isn't exactly what i expected.
Just follow the pictures and you'll be fine.
For those of of you who havent watched the Illusionist, here is the clip showing the locket in action:
Ok, let's get started !
A couple of things you'll need:
-Tools and machinery
-A drill press
-A grinder
-Drill bits
-Foster bits
-Lathe
-Fret saw
-Files
-
-Materials
-Super glue
-Scissors
-M-seal
-Wood ( duh )
-And finally Patience (you're going to need a lot of it , if you're a beginner like me :) )

My plans for the locket do not involve any magnets.
I made a 3d model so that its easier for all of you.
Take a good look at this picture it shows the left half of the heart, then proceed to the next step.

I'll probably have more questions for you, but for the moment there is one thing i can't understand: why you do these 2 holes with the fostner bit, and then why you cover them?? I just can't understand the meaning of these two holes.. :/
Thank you very much! hope to receive a reply from you! :)
And happy christmas!
