I've been working through the Charles Lewton book trying to get the hang of fold forming. Here are some pics of my efforts.

It appears that you have, worked your way through enough. That you got a very good understanding of it all nicely done!

Nice stuff, Tony. It IS a freakin' blast, innit? Addictive. I have a couple sold knives I need to finish up, and want to do some more FFing.

Tony, These are always fun things to look at. What people don't realise is that the metal became the teacher. These are the proof of the learning, objects of ponder. suggestions of places to go..Very nice take off, have a nice flight. Brad

Hey I have a bunch of bits that look a lot like those

That double crisscross flat fold (first piece 2nd photo) is tricky Of course it was the first thing I tried ' /> Luckily I moved on and tried other stuff...

Thanks for the compliments. It is sort of addicting. In a good way.

Shawn - I thought about that as the background for the flower in my other post. I didn't have a large enough sheet of copper though and it would have brought up another whole set of issues. ' /> Decided to run with what I knew. Maybe for another piece though.

The patinas add another level to the pieces. Charles's FF book is real eye candy, isn't it? The huge number of photos are a real help to us visual thinkers.

Thank's for the compliments. Good to have another fold former here. The book is a great way to get started that's for sure. Sometimes I just like to take a piece to the power hammer and see where it goes.
