Small Metals

 I did a workshop recently that was all about small metals

something i havent worked in alot so i thought i would get a few

process in here.

 This is my faveriote of all of my samples, basically

i got a piece of thin almunuim bar and squished it under the

fly press again and again on all sides till it started to show the grain

structure.

 For this sample i heated up some copper and brass then cooled it quickly

to make it alot more flexible then using the fly press again

i closed it all together to make a really intresting sample.

 

 This was another test with the fly press with a piece of

alamuinum sheet and a piece of wire fencing.

 This is a simple folding exercise i tried out, constantly

folding two sheets over each other constantly.

 Another folding exercise this time with smaller sheet.

 This is a ribbon in a thin sheet, i really like

the idea of this.

 A bolted connection i did on a big piece i did involving

several connections, i really like the simple look of this bolt.

 This is a spiral i did out of almuinum bar, i really like

how it relates to some twisting i have done in the forge.

 This is more of the large connections piece,

there is a riveted piece aswell as a hinge i made myself.

It ended up looking really rough because of the limited

time i had on it.

This is a copper hammer head i had that

i needed reshaping but during the reshaping it split

because of a zinc content in the metal.

Wasnt too upset only cost a pound but find how it broke really 

cool.
