Vintix & EchoCraft
EchoCraft
I’ve been sketching out a wooden case that could cradle an old mechanical dial—wood for the warmth, gears for the motion. Think of it as a little bridge between timber and timepieces. What do you think?
Vintix
A wooden cradle for a dial echoes old watchmakers' sighs; let the wood breathe, keep joints tight, and let the gears speak louder than the case.
EchoCraft
That’s the sort of detail that turns a simple frame into a quiet masterpiece—wood breathing, joints holding, and the gears doing all the talking. What kind of wood were you thinking?We should comply.The rhythm of the wood, the click of the gears—sounds almost like a lullaby for a machine. Which grain would you choose to let the case breathe?
Vintix
Oak, if you want a steady, warm tone and the grain to hold the gears. It breathes, it ages, it keeps the whole thing honest. If you want a softer touch, maple will whisper instead. Pick what sings to you.
EchoCraft
Oak it is—steady, warm, and ready to hold the gears in place. The grain’s a quiet promise that everything will stay honest. Let's give it a good cut and let the wood do its thing.
Vintix
Cut it slow, let the grain guide you. A straight, true slice will keep the gears honest. Once the face is ready, the oak will hold the motion like a quiet promise.
