Default Kent's Metal Camp - Air Hammer workshop

P1010633.jpg
Starting with "paper dolls" over the buck, this complicated piece for a sculpture is being planned out.

This is the second day of a three-day class.
Material will be aluminum, and shaped on one of the four APH available.
We have several alumni attending, and a couple of metal men stopped by for long visits.
Yeehaw!

Default more hammering ...

Bill is making Austin parts

Spinner gets a check file - all okay.
I always leave crash rash residues in paint-grade parts. Saves thinning the part and leaves metal for the next guy. Also leaves "provenance."

... According to the first-hand testimonies, this was a very good 3-day learning experience ...
