Black Butte Forge. Flower series. No.4 Daisies.

Texturing and preparing the patterns for brazing.
The arbor press tools I made for flowers are all from mild steel, and were from whatever steel that Steve and I could scrounge up at the "East-side warehouse," (aka. the dump) when we were young. All the copper came from there too... What a score. We were able to take 3 large copper solar water tanks that had holes. They were made with 2 full sheets ea. ...we gave the guy a 6 pack of beer! Which, we would always just show up with because that was the preferred currency.
