I was walking home with the gorget I made in class on because it did not fit in my locker and I found this flower growing on the side of the road on my way home and was like ”I better take some photos” 😅

Keeping the waterjet fed.
Our OMAX waterjets run at 60,000 PSI with abrasive garnet added to the stream for cutting steel.
One of the behind-the-scenes jobs that keeps them running: refilling the abrasive hopper.

I started my brass gorget today and shaped the front piece! I'll create the back piece tomorrow and see how that works out because I'm absolutely just winging it with no clue whatsoever 😅 Here are my progress photos, excluding sawing because I was ✨too focused✨
This is, without a doubt, the coolest fucking thing I've ever made. In decent conditions this will bloom for at least a hundred generations. My first Copper and Steel orchid. I've been thinking about this for years. Goddamn. Hyped. Share this shit if you feel it. #art #artsky #artist #metalworking
An update, an update on my first main assignment in metal class. Today I'm researching for my second main assignment at home, but I thought I'd share!
Bodged it together for the sake of being able to wear it to empire E4. I'll be remaking the side panels, making a back plate and giving it a skirt as well as just finishing it more nicely over the winter. loosely based on a 15th century breastplate.
