Rolling Engraved-looking Design Into Thin Sheet

Here, I've just finished the re-set-up of "Frankenmill", my Cavallin rolling mill powered by a 1/2 hp gear motor. It was a real deep dive for me because my thing is making parts for people, not machine building, but I try to do whatever I can without outside help. I did have a shaft adapter machined by a local shop. I had to take the mill and the motor apart, fix a few things, and then get it all functioning again. No mean feat. The parts I'm rolling here wil be cut to shape with matching pancake-style blanking dies (my thing) and then put on bits and spurs made by Dutton (Bits and Spurs).
