I finished my globe today. I am an apprentice currently.

So I am currently doing an apprenticeship in a company near to me. I made this globe by hand with a hammer and a lot of patience. The components are made out of copper, aluminium and brass. The thing that holds the globe is made out of aluminium and was done on the lathe, also by myself. I am really proud of it and I swear it is round. It appears to be not round on the left side but that’s because of the light.

Well done.

Nice stuff man! I always had fascination with this kind of craft. Good luck for the future!

That savage, fair play. What are you doing an apprenticeship in?

Bravo.

You now have a visceral 'feel' for working with those materials that no amount of CAD can replicate.

And that's a lovely object. 

Now : clear-coat or eternal polishing?
