It's a lot of fun to make things out of wood, and there are so many different types of wood that it never gets boring. Still, it's fun to go cross-media sometimes:
copper plates
I'm having trouble toggling the option that lets you enlarge the image by clicking on it.... hope you can see them okay. The general idea is that we had a chance to make some odd-shaped plates out of copper as part of a fabrication services job we did some time ago. I stumbled upon the pictures recently and remembered how much fun that was. When you work with wood all the time, your brain starts to develop an expectation of how heavy a little piece of material should be. Then you pick one of these off the table... and it's a lot heavier than it's supposed to be! Simple pleasures.
