From metal shop in 8th grade. First part of the project was making a metal tracing tool, so that we could produce a tracing of an image on a copper sheet. This trout is approx 6" x 8" and is usually mounted on a piece of mahogany, and hung on my wall. For some reason, the tail section came out green in my scan. But I almost like it better this way than the entire thing in regular tarnished copper. Maybe its crossing through a current seam into another dimension. I forget where I found this image....maybe from an illustration in a 1964 Outdoor Life mag.
I liked it, and it was an easy image to trace for my first project. Pretty simple

If i recall correctly ...a leather pad a sheet of copper and burnishers...always liked the feel of pressing copper sheeting...played with it a long time ago...the result certainly was not this nice, nor as relevant.
As you can see in the pics, its puny little pecs couldn't even reach the handlebars, and its stubby pelvic fins could not reach the pedals, but with its heart of pure stainless steel, and its broad caudal fin, it only needed to flail its tail to make a clean getaway: Metal art by Mark Lewis Fly by Bob Triggs
The current issue of American Angler has an article on the work of Roger Fowler. He uses stainless steel and one picture shows a sculpture of a bonefish descending on a crab that is quite impressive.
