shipman Posted January 27 Share #195 Posted January 27 A brief aside.... During the 1980's I was fortunate to work in busy London graphic design studio's. A very clever Dutchman(?) went around, touting handmade pen's and pencils, to customer spec, with their name and logo. Most of the ones I saw were at least 5 feet long. Very impressive, hanging from the reception/studio ceiling. KeithAug, Valeriy V, Keith Black and 2 others 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirabell61 Posted January 28 Share #197 Posted January 28 very nice work Valeriy, how did you machine that multi smart idea enbossing block, is it hardened after machining ? Did you need to aneal the brass rounds prior to shaping with the punch ? The final soldering and trimming of the vents looks great.the relative thin wall-thicknesses, do not bring too much topweight to the model.

wefalck Posted January 28 Share #198 Posted January 28 (edited) For the cowls (this is what the ventilators are called) you presumably started from brass discs, I assume?
