One of these days I'll tell you how brussels sprouts got their name... ;)


Dishing is okay for more forgiving metals or shallower domes, but for something like this helmet dome, you want to "raise" the metal. Like so. I have a batting helmet the exact right size that I can use to make a hydrostone negative form to check the fit. Planishing is just small-scale shaping to refine and smooth the surface.


[ETA: Found it. Try this. This guy does great tutorials.]


I may have to talk to you about circuit-board-y stuff. >_> My further plans involve much pushing of electrons...


Also, shoot me a PM or e-mail when you want to get started refining your templates.
