I like it Bruce.. Was it a commission or just a play thing?
Whatever you are, be a good one.

The finish is just brass aerosol from ace. The paint has since had a gun blu wash patina, for those of who don't know, most brass paint can take a patina .Hoisting that bad boy up for an updated pic was too much,sorry.
The 8"x 8" cyl was forged with the "corner" die, d1. The "corner" faces front when used. I had to weld a handle every 33 deg. and work 3 divets at a time, a bit labor intensive.
The ball and cup are what they are.............bm
