On to the metal!

Some of my friends have been pointing out to me that I haven't posted anything for quite a while. Well, I've been busy cleaning
my metal shop so that I could actually work – and here's the result. I'm thinking of this as sort of a prototype for a series vaguely
evocative of mountains. I've not been too concerned about the finish of the aluminum on this piece because the next step is to spray paint it black. Yeah, FLAT black. Then, I plan to mess with the surface with abrasives. Painting should happen tomorrow, followed by roughing it up and finally a satin clear coat. We'll see what happens . . .
