1. Scrap of 16 gauge brass, this one is almost symmetrical. I immediately thought of an animal.
2. A little preliminary bending.
3. Using the stake shown on the left, starting to form the two pointed shapes into spiculums.
4. Pushing out a nose from behind, using a ball stake in the hydraulic press.
5. Already it's starting to look like some sort of critter.
6. Using the raising hammer and raising stake, forming the shape.
7. After all that hammering, it has to be annealed.
8. Here the two spiculum shapes have been completely formed and silver-soldered.
9. More forming, this time on a ball stake.
10. Using the hydraulic press on the ears.
11. Pushing out the nose some more with the hydraulic press.
12. Using the small ball stake shown on the left to further form the snout.
13. Rounding over the head, using the stake shown on the left.
14. I arbitrarily decided the two spiculum shapes should curve forward, like an elephant's tusks. 
15. Using the stake shown on the left to push out the nose yet some more.
