more medallion






I just wasn't happy with the medallion campus face, so I decided to spend most of the day cleaning it up with my gravers. I got it pretty much where I wanted it and then started work on the campus base plate. I machined some magnet holes and then dropped a recess in the top  part of the base so the campus piece could fit down in to finish off the front. I also machined a test name plate so I could set in in place before drilling all of the holes to connect things. It's imperative that I have everything lined up as the name plate will sit at a cocked position until the campus map is turned, the iris eye is opened and the name plate is rotated so that it reads right side up when the iris is fully opened. Solidworks says it's going to work so I'm crossing my fingers.
