ENGRAVED CALIPERS

 

These are a set of calipers that I made for a glassblower that I met down at Penland. I have been wanting to make a matching pair of calipers for a while, so I was very excited when he suggested that he might like a set. The larger is 12" and the smaller is 8", forged and filed out of wrought iron. The brass plaques were attached and then engraved with his monogram. This was a really fun set to make and I hope to do more multiples like this. Making a single tool is very rewarding, but there is something really special about seeing a matching set.
