| The creasing stake is tucked into the rounded area
where the bulge and the flat plane meet. Using a ball hammer I'm shaping
the metal right behind the edge of the stake, causing the wall of the
projection to become a bit more oblique to the plane joining
it.
With another hammer that has a flatter radius to the
face I'll then hit the vertical section against the stake to accentuate
the change of direction. The junction at this point will then be sharper
than it was previously.
Afterwards I'll work on the bottom area to be flattened
over a flat top stake from this same side of the piece. That will even
out the new work with the previous so the flat plane will be continuous right
up to the point where it thrusts out of the plane. You
can't understand what I'm talking about here can you?
Neither can I so I'll show you what this
means later. |
