How to make a watch dial, drawing, planning etc.

Projects
15.06.2017

In the meanwhile I have changed to Affinity Designer Software for MAC to draw the dials I want to make and I have found a possibility in Bonn to get the dials laser engraved for a reasonable price. www.boehmbox.de

These are my latest trials.

My plan is to use a Stepcraft 300 Desktop CNC machine for engraving in the future.


In the end I want to CNC engrave the dial. Base will be a brass plate with soldered dial feet, varnished with with color.
Inkscape progress
Searching for better fonts at the moment, maybe I have to create the numbers myself.
