44. Raising a ring. This is the first time I've ever tried this, so I don't know if it will work.
45. Continuing with the raising, so far so good.
46. The outer part has been brought around nearly 180°.
47. Getting close to where it needs to be. Ready to be annealed.
48. A new tool I made for the next step.
49. Using the tool from the previous image to push the metal further down all the way around.
50. Still a little rough, but it's the right shape.
28. Now on Part Two, making the hat, which is also the handle. Here is the piece of brass sheet cut out and annealed.
29. Starting the outward curve on the sand bag.
30. Rounding it over on the raising stake.
31. More forming of the cone.
33. Heavy planishing, stretching the outside of the curve to increase the curvature.
34. Time to anneal.
35. Back to more heavy planishing.
36. Using a little more force to achieve a tighter curve.
