GOrilla Racing track medal
GOrilla Racing, a local company, began sponsoring a series of local track meets in the summer of 2020.
They have a striking logo (seen below) which I thought would look great on a medal which could be awarded at the meets. Based on the shirt logo, I designed a prototype.

The machining ridges seen here are much less apparent in real life. But they still need to be smoothed. -
Brass after some hand finishing. Some details (for example, the outside corner of the left eye) could benefit from re-machining with a smaller end mill. The results of using a 0.019" tool are seen in the following image. A bit this small needs to be moved very slowly and takes a long time (~2 hours). -
