Project #4, completed
The design for project number 4 has grown on me and I really like it. Although the pieces finished for the project need some more work to look their best, it seems like this is a design I would want to continue to work with.
The production of these was quite time consuming, and the use of an RT die would reduce time spent quite a bit. The process went as follows:
-Designs were transferred onto the metal with PNP paper and then etched.
-All of the parts were sawed out, this included a base shape for each piece and 3 petal like shapes to be riveted on as well.
-All parts were filed and sanded.
-Tubing to hold pin material was soldered onto the backs.
-Catches were riveted onto the backs.
-The three "petals" were riveted onto the pin.
-6 elements on each pin were curled up with round nose pliers.
-Music wire was added to the catches and filed down at the ends to make the pin backs.
