Guilloché is an engraving technique in which a very precise intricate repetitive patterns or design is mechanically etched into an underlying material with very fine detail. Specifically, it involves a technique of engine turning, called guilloché in French after the French engineer "Guillot," who invented a machine "that could scratch fine patterns and designs on metallic surfaces".

9. That was fun.

Do they still make the spirograph? I want one now. I was kinda too young to REALLY appreciate it before, but I did like it, I just got so mentally tired from all the concentration I would use up playing around with it. I think I was six or seven years old.
