Part 2 of the flash stuff.

I have been enjoying this. No doubt about it, I’m a metal fabricator!

It’s really quite hard work; I may have already mentioned that and given it’s mostly relevant to the events that I partake in, namely making metal stuff, then I will no doubt mention it again, but it’s very satisfying and dangerous as well. Very hot metal, lots of sharp things to impale ones self upon and precarious positioning of both myself and the object worked on adds up to a level of blaise risk that really is quite dear to my heart.

And just look at the colours in the concrete floor! Aren’t they beautiful?
I’m well on my way here and may even have approached the half way mark.

This is the kind of detail that will end up all over the place. It’s at the top right corner.

And this is where the actual posterior meets the raw stuff of the earths centre… well, that’s supposedly nickel iron and this is iron with a dash of carbon, and the bronze which is a mix of copper and tin, mostly copper. Anyways, I’m thinking I might do some form of upholstered cushion for this as I have a bunch of sheepskin, both with fleece still attached and plain hides, that plays with the underlying structure. I really do like the idea of hiding one type of detailing underneath another even to the extent of having the finer sitting under the coarser. I suppose that, pyschologically, I’m speaking of my often coarse outward appearance and alluding to the fine details of my thought processes that lurk underneath. Whatever eh!
