Damascus steel ring with brass liner to celebrate our 12th anniversary.
This one was quite a challenge, since it involved some forging and etching in addition to the usual metal turning to get a nice damascus pattern on the outside of the ring. The liner is made out of an old brass pipe fitting from our house renovation, so it actually was with us for a significant part of our lives.

I stumbled across this unique and complicated looking door latch in Spital am Pyhrn in Austria.

Okay, I did *NOT* see this one coming:
The least-expensive option I can find for a left-handed ball screw assembly with the recirculating nut (at least without going through a whole quoting process) is *mcmaster*.
Their value prop is that whatever weird thing you need, you can get it next-day or so, but the cost is usually quite high.
Increasingly, I'm finding that they've become my first go-to because their prices on lots of stuff is actually really reasonable.

Two hours of hand filing in this heat and humidity was the worst idea ever, but good progress at least
