Portraits of Kiki in the [unfinished] bottom bowl
August 2, 2002
I took a quick snap of me in the bottom bowl, and it was so cool,
that I asked Scott to take some portraits!

Here's what we got!

Photos by Kiki & Sparky.
Many of these look like I'm in a pool of light.
Scott wanted to add a second light,
but then realized that the copper wall reflected back at me
with a soft, orange light.

Lovely!

Pounding the lip for the big bowl
August 5, 2002
After much technical figuring [this was *not* a trivial decision!]
I decided to pound the lip in its entirity before welding.

This turned out to be quite a job by myself!
