Catherine Ronan Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I have been busy making watering cans from flat sheet and wire. This week I got a new hydraulic press with a 20 ton jack. Which will make things a lot easier. I was burnishing those rings (on the can) in by hand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail Geiger Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Catherine, how many girls can say they own a new hydraulic press with a 20 ton jack? That's what I love about this hobby so much! I love your watering can! gail 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Ronan Posted September 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Gail, Thank you. I think they got it wrong... It's tools that are a girls best friend. Oops... I see there is some Blu-tack stuck in one of the holes in the watering head. I'll just pretend it's a bit of garden grunge. ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesouth Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Great job! I don't think a girl can have too many tools! Tamra, Elga and I were talking about this last night! By the way, Kansas City was great! Wish you all had been there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverissimo Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 If you want to upgrade your project we have a very similar one made of Italian Solid Silver (it's a vintage piece) on www.silverissimo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeekendMiniaturist Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 oh, gosh a silver watering can? what happens to it when you go put water in it? Both are beautiful specimens, but I am happiest with a less expensive metal for my watering can. Perhaps the wealthy folks used a silver watering can....I have no experience with this one... Catherine, it is wonderful that you were able to add to the tool collection... Having the correct tools just makes the project more enjoyable! Congratulations, this is a wonderful accomplishment!
