Hi,
There were some great ideas in our village green challenge, thanks to all who took part.
This week we have an object, specifically, a tiny pallet fork which is found in the escapement of a watch. However, in Photoshop it can be any size, or anything, you want to make it. I've given you two views of the object - can you choose one of them and use it to make something else?
The “rules”:
To download the image, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).
When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.
Have fun!

Very nice render Dave, and our education on SFTW continues! 😊 I had no idea what a palette fork on a watch is, but have now learned that Its purpose is to lock the escape wheel, and release it one tooth at a time at each swing of the balance wheel.

I had to go and look. This seemed a great explanation.

Make sure the gizmo is in the locked position before operating this forklift!
