Completed the tube setting and sheet metal prong setting samples, I needed to push the prongs down a bit on the sheet metal sample. Filing them down more and then using the prong pusher followed by a burnisher worked out well.
We have received our instructions for the first project for DES331, a brooch with a minimum of three prong set faceted stones. My semester theme is Asian script and symbols. I have resources for the theme compiled and now need to obtain some images of historic settings and develop some ideas for the project.
Metalworking has been great fun and I am now planishing the 6" vessel. I need to bevel the catenoid vessel sheet and complete the final planishing of the small vessel .
The top rim is a bit irregular, but should be able to be straightened out.
