Brass Rosettes for the Rose Engine Lathe

The build
Rose Engine lathes built in the 16th century used brass rosettes. I wanted to replace to polycarbonate rosettes on our custom built Rose Engine with brass. We wrote the gcode program to re create a J-60 rosette out of brass. The rosette pattern transfers to the work piece through the mechanics of the rose engine lathe and cutters.
