T fold

The lines the small platter are T-folds. The heavy lines in the round copper earrings are the same technique, It's easier to see them. The platter required that I first create the pattern of T-folds before folding the platter. T fold is a basic named fold. The fold is hammered at 90% to the sheet of metal. In this case the press is used as a vice to hold the metal. Tapered T-folds can result if the metal slips. These first folds were done with a break. This pc is 22 gauge. I feel a demo coming on..later on in the week. Thanks for your interest. Brad
