If you thinking about getting back in shape why not raise a beaker!
Raising is the shaping of metal from a flat sheet into a hollow form by using certain designed
hammers (raising and plannishing hammers) and stakes.
This is the challenge that Crimson 2 have been set for our specialisation class with Radka Passianova.

Dat hard at work in the hammer room.
Based on a chosen cocktail (that we extensively researched on the weekends) we are required to design and raise a beaker and a stirrer to accompany it. Here is an example of a few different beakers from our class.

One term down and I have finished raising and plenishing and am currently cleaning the inside using a wooden steak covered in emery paper and the lathe.

Blisters and all I can say that it’s been hard work so far but very rewarding and a very useful insight to the way metal works through hammering.
