The Finished Piece -
1. I started with a 10" disc of 16 gauge brass. Here it is after the first stage of raising. -
2. After the second stage of raising. -
3. After third stage of raising. That's more than enough. -
4. I've sketched out the outline of the figure. -
5. Pushing in from the outside, forming the edge of the tail. -
6. I did a lot of this, pushing out from the inside on a sand bag. -
7. Using the hydraulic press to push out the breasts. -
8. Instant boobs! -
9. One of many special stakes I used for this project. -
10. Using the stake shown in pic #9 in the chin, and hammering under the chin to push the neck in. -
11. Doing the first stage of planishing, with a heavy hammer. I will do a second stage of planishing with a small light hammer after it is annealed. -
12. How it looks up to this point. The face was the hardest part. It looked like a man's face, and every day I would spend hours working on it and analyzing what was wrong about it, and making very little progress. -
13. A "stalk of celery" stake I made just for this project.
