Well you can see from the photo below I have been successful in creating a pretty good trifold bowl. This bowl started life as part of a lid of an old industrial container. So the transformation has been worth the effort.

What made the difference is I made a new set of heavy steel jaws for the vice. These jaws extend out beyond the vice and so enable me to rotate the bowl and do each fold without crushing the bowl. So a good outcome which I hope will enable me to create more trifold bowl.
Absolutely one of your best Barry - looks fabulous!

ReplyDeleteIndeed the transformation has been worth the effort. Having seen your work face to face I appreciate what you do even more, Barry. I love my leaves and am looking for the perfect place to display them. They look wonderful on my oak table.
