Mark Finstad's Triple Demo

HABA board member Mark Finstad was the featured demonstrator for the May meeting. Many will recall the previous demos by Mark in March 04 and Feb 05, and his recent bowls shown at our Feb 06 meeting. This was another great opportunity to learn how he designs and makes these excellent works.

Mark had three separate demos planned: forging a cablemascus billet, demonstrating air chisel chasing and forging one of his cleverly designed bottle openers. Click each of the following links to see a page of photos from each demo.....
