I love his stuff and had not gotten around to this one yet.

To paraphrase, 'There’s a lot of math going on here. ’ Oh man, understatement of the century. To see the finished cutout example near the end, with pushing it out far enough, at an angle, to get the support necessary to push it ‘back’ at an angle. :exploding_head:

Very old technique used with silver, gold, copper, brass, and other materials. Titanium is a bit tougher to do by hand and a great place to apply robots.
