Chopping and Sectioning

Every step is shown up-close, with clear detail, and the ongoing commentary brings out many of the ‘fine points’ of the work.

You’ll see how and where to lay out the cuts, different ways to cut the metal, and how to fit the pieces back together to establish flowing contours.
