I like those very much! You have some nice textures (I LOVE texture) and designs there. Some pretty high grade work IMO! Especially for a group effort (where it is often difficult to concentrate as well as a craftsman working alone might).

Nice work, but how did you get it into a bowl shape without ruining the chasing inside? I don't see any "soft" face hammers.

He had some different setups to sink it. One was with this round tool, another was a shaft. Both sunk the metal into a ring. I used the shaft on mine. The circle it made on center was a little gift.

Thanks for the pics Rory it looks like a good day for sure!

I only see one guy wearing hearing protection do you guys use bull horns or sign language at meetings? Maybe the club moto is. . . HUH? :huh:

Seriously though, I'm thinking I'll have to make some shaping tools for my little air hammer. I'd love to turn out some pieces like you show.

Well done.

Here is a link from youngdylan on the some hammers http://www.aircrafts...ivetgun2602.php

I believe we had a Chicago Pneumatic brand. I am sure you could do this with a fly press as well, depending on the stroke but could get around that with some creative tooling. The press Scott used was a 25ton and with the 1/4" plate for the bowl. We have a 50 ton at the shop that I am eager to try when things slow down.
