to start with

After the drawings I start with a back plate of stainless steel ( 0`8 mm / 0`315 inch ) witch I have to saw and finish off beautifully. I use s.s. for the solidity .

[alia_801]

It looks like a very delicate process! Thank you for showing us the steps!

[Dione Giorgio]

That must require some real patience, Pyrrhula. I use that saw on tri-ply wood and it is a slow process.

[Ian Fisher]

Fascinating - I'm looking forward to the rest of the series!

[Pyrrhula]

@quietpurplehaze it was n`t a selfie, After instructions , my wife did take this pic.

[Hazel]

@pyrrhula I think that's called a 'non-selfie' selfie!!

[Pyrrhula]

Lol . I`ve to remember that

[Hazel]

@pyrrhula I think I made it up , to excuse all the pics of me I put on my page which are not taken by me!!!!! (I finish my first year of 365 at the end of this week!)

I followed your tags, "theme-hobby" and I'm "totally blown away" (meaning "in awe"!) of your talent! YEARS ago, I took 2 years of jewelry design as a part of my art degree, so I have a great respect for what you're accomplishing here! Your work is stunning!
