Back to basics

 

Over the weekend I got back into metal work. This blog is about a couple of basic vessels - bowls - photos above and below. The bigger bowl is 13.5cm in diameter and about 4.5cm deep; and the smaller one is 12.5cm in diameter and 3.5 cm deep.

Following are a few process photos including metal marking and cutting, planishing the smaller bowl on a metal stake, the completed but unpolished smaller bowl and the polished smaller bowl.





The bowls will make their way into DEP gallery-shop. It is a good feeling to be hammering and forming metal. I also cut quite a bit of metal for leaf-spoons, tea caddy spoons; and melted offcuts and poured hulls for small boats - but that is all for another blog.
