Bending

Today in my wood class we had a demo on laminate bending. The important points were these:
~make sure the layers are thin enough to bend easily on the form
~use plastic resin glue
~Plane both sides of the layers
~DO A DRY RUN!!!!!
~have enough people to help
~make sure that you tap all the layers flush to the floor of the form

Metals Project

I am working on my Constructed Ring midterm project for my intro to metals class. I will be soldering 16, 16 gauge nickel wires to the inside of a large, 16 gauge bronze band. The wires are soldered to 4 16 gauge silver ring shanks. I shall post pictures in a day or two. I will be calling this piece Sixteen.
