Making a planishing hammer sing like a guitar / Lacey Metal Designs
When does a machine go from ordinary to extraordinary? When it tells a story?.
Nobody can make a planishing hammer tell a story like Mike Gallucci from Lacey metal Designs can. An amazingly talented metal artist out of Lacey Washington who has impressed us time and time again with his projects built with our metal fabrication equipment.
From handmade, metal sculptures of wildlife and trees, to vibrant metal fountains, Mike has completely changed the rules on what can be made with a CNC plasma table, a planishing hammer and a little bit of creativity.
Here is a video of the fountain in operation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldK_pLRqlEM
These projects here were all created with a pneumatic planishing hammer that delivers 4,600 blows per minute, making shaping and smoothing metal an absolute breeze.
Mike recently entered a contest we hosted here on plasma spider and absolutely blew our minds with his entry. It was named ?Kansas?
Here is a video of the entry:
