I made some chasing tools out of steel. Chasing is a method of stretching and compressing metal in order to shape it without removing or adding any material. I ground and polished the tips and then tempered them with an acetylene torch. The colors appear during the tempering process and indicate the hardness of the metal.
It's very scientific (molecular structures and all that stuff),
but basically I think it's beautiful.
Then I made my cup fit my hand perfectly. It feels so good.
