Chasing - Part 8 - Air Chasing

This is the silver cup I've been working on for some time now, other projects and dissatisfaction with the progress have delayed my working on it through the summer. I decided to work on this without pitch for the time being until I need to do final sculptural details. It works much better and I am happier with the progress.
This video also introduces snarling irons, these are ones that I made, the traditional irons are much longer. I didn't need them to be so long to work on my cups. The traditional irons are for working on larger vessels and proved awkward for these comparatively shallow cups. More to come. . .
