We are offering a rather unique sheet metal class right now.  My teaching partner is a pretty amazing metal shaper..  What is Metal shaping?   Shrinking and stretching metal.

Here is an example of some high level craftsmanship I thought you might enjoy.  The music is really good too.

Not a project for someone with ADD.

BTW, I got tennis elbow just watching all of that hammering.

That helm sold for many thousands of dollars.

I actually got my hands on the very one that was recorded in the vid.

That is pretty thick steel for the shape put into it.

But it's done for the love of the game for sure.

Excellent vid! That part in the first vid where he's sitting at the bench looking at the helmet and then the picture, helmet, picture.....I connected with him there, I know what he's feeling!! Mind swirling, thinking. Lots of patience in something like that, not rushing to get it done, slowing yourself down to get it just how you want it. Top notch work there, thanks for the post!

Good tunes, Pink Floyd,
