More new pieces http://t.co/UWxrdLup

Put the beads in place & anchored the wires in the side holes. Was a lot of work but I rather like it. 😉 http://t.co/XEoigwE7

Filed down a small brass rod to make the rivets, cut them off & peened them into place, holding the nose on and the eye bead wire in place.

Drilled the holes to attach the wires to hold the eye beads. Decided to add a nose of brass. Cut it out and drilled the rivet holes.

It’s the same tool that I used to make the lines on the other pieces. Cleaned all the edges up with a file.

The outline of the owl was cut with a pair of tin snips. I used a chisel, made from a broken 1/8 inch drill bit, to cut out the eyes.

Cleaned the edges up with a file and finished off with steel wool after rubbing a bit of green paint into the indentions and lines.

Beat this one out with a bigger hammer. Cut the outline, then textured the areas inside the lines with a punch made from an old dental tool.

And on to the brass peace sign. Another old video game token. http://t.co/THH8WfeA

Finished it off with 0000 steel wool.

Hammered the surface with my smallest ball peen hammer to give it the texture. Used a file to clean up the cut edges.

Drilled 5 small holes and then inserted the jewellers saw blade into the ones in the areas to be cut out and did the deed. 4 times.

Peace sign cut from a piece of 3/8 copper pipe. Same general process as with the brass other than the cut outs. http://t.co/vncRK1MR

A bit of red paint rubbed into the chiselled lines, then the entire piece was cleaned off and shined with 0000 steel wool.

Heated to red, quenched in water, pickled in battery acid, cut to shaped hammered to texture, lines chiselled into the brass.
