Final Product

It’s been a long time coming but I finally reached the end. I’m pretty happy with the final piece. I learned a lot in this build. Going to do a quick brain dump on what I learned:

1. Copper is fun, but super soft. It’s not great for butt caps.
2. Antler is also fun to work with. It also presents some challenges but overall I liked working with it. I want to do some more and maybe buy a better piece. I let the cracks go this time because I liked the worn look but I want to try a really clean piece next time.
3. I used templates this time. I cut them out like patterns and it shows in the balance and symmetry.
4. I still have lots of waves in my blades from the forging. I also got a few pits from letting it get too much oxygen during the forge. I didn’t want to grind them all the way out because I didn’t want to thin the blade too much.
5. I still need to learn to take deep breaths and slow down. When I feel rushed, walk away and try later. 

I can’t wait to deliver this to the owner and see what he thinks. Until then I can’t stop touching it.

Rooftop Racetrack: 1928 via Retronaut

“The Lingotto building, Turin, Italy, once housed a  Fiat factory. Built between 1916 and 1923, the design had five floors, raw materials going in at the ground floor, and cars built on a line that went up through the building. Finished cars emerged at rooftop level, where there was a rooftop test track. It was the largest car factory in the world at the time. Le Corbusier called it “one of the most impressive sights in industry”, and “a guideline for town planning”.”
