January 12Jan 12 I work mostly with metal sculpture and small carvings, so I’m always interested in how metal parts are shaped, balanced, and finished. Recently, I began researching the design of a California legal handgun, primarily from an engineering and materials perspective. The amount of regulation actually reminded me a lot of designing art within strict constraints. I was chatting casually with someone at Desperate Measures Firearms while inquiring about metal finishes, and we ended up discussing how compliance rules influence design choices. That part was honestly more interesting to me than anything else. I’m not an expert and still learning, but it made me wonder how many people here find inspiration or ideas from totally unrelated fields like this. Anyone else mix metal art with mechanical or regulated designs, or am I just overthinking it? Edited January 12Jan 12 by Mod34 Commercial link removed
