The final piece is to be a visor for a helmet,specifically a type called a sallet. I liked the way the profile came out but was unhappy with the contours on most of the other views. This was made from a piece of cold rolled 18 ga steel. I used a dishing form and a few stakes to get the shape, the eyeslot was rough cut with an angle grinder, then chiseled a but and then filed to get the round corners a bit neater. On the final, I will actually build the helmet top first then take a pattern off of that to ensure the visor fits well.</p> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p><a href="http://www.artmetal.com/blog/frankv/2007/07/hand_hammered_visor_let_me_see_if_this_works_or_visor_part_iii_the_return_of_the_upload">read more</a></p> http://www.artmetal.com/blog/frankv/2007/07/hand_hammered_visor_let_me_see_if_this_works_or_visor_part_iii_the_return_of_the_upload#comment armor Sheet metal working Mon, 09 Jul 2007 10:42:20 -0500 FrankV 3897 at http://www.artmetal.com
