PlatAfrica 2014

For the PlayAfrica platinum competition this year, I am going to be doing some repousse. Inserting the platinum onto the top of a beautifully carved African black wood ring. I will post drawings later, here are some pictures of the punches I made today to help me with the job. The three on the left are yet to be heat tereated and polished. 

A make shift forge with some kiln shelving. 

Functional and pleasing to the eye.
