Attempting to attach the visor to the cheek by soldering with restrip

Cleaning up some soldering

I get an unexpected guest in the basement while lamp making. Sorry for the medium amount of swear words.

Fixing/replacing a piece, soldering the side and I experiment with bronze wool to make the mouth.

Soldering over a gap can be tricky!

Working on the side ear pieces. Cutting, grinding, tracing, foiling, etc.

Working on the chin and getting distracted with horse watching duties.

Finally soldering the chin. Sorry for the IG tags. TikTok wouldn’t let me do the video with music in 2 spots so I had to download the video from Instagram.

Working on the chin and I saw a sweet beaver

Working on the chin

Working on grinding and foiling the “soul patch”.

Using air dry clay to modify the form and making some progress on the chin

l've received a few questions about how it's going to attach/ hang from the lamp base so I re-edited old footage of fabricating the vase cap, l've since drilled a hole in the top and when all the pieces are done it will get soldered in place and reinforced.

Soldering and answering my most asked question about this process.

Tracing, cutting, grinding, foiling, almost soldering.

Working on the cheek: mosaicing precut / prefoiled pieces and then filling in the gaps with fresh cut pieces
