Torus Part 2


Getting the Secondary curve





To achieve this curve I decided to use the stretcher machine, and just by the results I wasn't able to achieve it without a cracking point. It was quite difficult as it needed precise pressure on the step.

So I decided to approach it another way - by manual brute force with the mallets and the curve template.


 




This process proved to be more effective as it gave me better control over the material, however it meant that it was a quite a longer process to achieve the curve, as well as that it was more difficult to get a cleaner and smoother finish.
