Etched Copper Right Whale Flask
January 4, 2011 in I made this
I got my hands on some copper mordant and decided to play around with some etched copper, this was another gift for a friend. Decided at the last minute to grind a water line into the flask to make it look like the whale was coming up for air. I am not totally sure I like it, but the gift getter liked it, so thats what counts.

A collection of sample test pieces I made while learning how to do salt water etching. It’s actually really easy, I will write a post about how to make these sort of things later. I used copper, brass, bronze, and steel.

Steel Name Badge For Down Tube

Made this for a friend to give to his lady friend, that is her nick name. Goes on her stylish new cross bike. Working with thin steel is WAY more fun than working with thick gauge steel, which is horrible.
Working In Thick Steel
July 31, 2010 in I made this
Its a super huge pain in the ass, but cutting really thick steel is possible with a jewelers saw. I have cut several R’s and H’s for a local bicycle maker Royal H.
Its especially hard to keep a straight line when working with this thick steel, and you will break about a million blades but the results look nice and are durable as hell, so much so that they can be welded.
