Tube light

I made this casing today. The tube is made of copper plate, rounded and fixed with a crimped seem. The section for the glass is made of brass, crimped and formed with a....can opener!
Works great on small objects!

Art of Coppersmithing

I picked up this book today. The original was written in 1893! If this ain't learning it the oldschool way, what is?

Heiwa

Found this nice bike from Heiwa
I think I'm going to make such a taillight from copper for my CB500.
