Fin

The swiss-spoon was finished and I happy with the design, but the functionality of it fell short.

Raw Ingot

Moving metal is not as easy as it looks. I began my hammering and moving of my silver ingot piece....to form my spoon. At first i wasn't sure how much to hammer but i got it to move to the shape i wanted. i learned the key to moving metal quicker is by annealing it a lot!

Pouring the Ingot

I poured an ingot last week...wow....A scary process. I actually did pretty well with. The only part i didn't really like was the unpredictability of pouring and heating consistently. when it came out....i was happy.

Acrylic: yes or no

After i got the right design and idea i started to think about my material choice. And i found myself looking at acrylic again......and silver. From the sound project i learned how to manipulate the acrylic to my liking, so i felt it would be interesting and another challenge to work with it.

Flatware Piece

I sketched out a variety of flatware that I found myself going.....ewh. But eventually i got a idea from seeing a hunter's magazine. and there it was a swiss army knife. after getting the idea I started sketch ways it could work.
