Silver Feather Shaping Menuki using Uchidashi Technique

Making silver menuki for my wakizashi project, a new venture into the fascinating techniques involved in this process: uchidashi. Similar to chasing/repousse but distinct in that you work the piece from one side only. Although information about this subject is scarce online, I was fortunate to come across helpful videos by ‪@FordHallam‬ which provided valuable insights into the process. • For the menuki I created, I decided to shape it like a feather. I'm actually quite happy with how it turned out, despite its imperfections. Honestly, I have no clue if this design holds any specific significance or if menuki are intended to have any. I chose this shape primarily because I thought it would be an achievable first attempt, considering the additional challenge of making two menuki with the same shape. That proved to be quite difficult! • • Overall, it's been an interesting and cool project to tackle. However, I must admit that filming it has been quite challenging due to its slow pace and the constant movement of the tiny piece in the pitch bowl. • • Now that one of the most detailed and small components is complete, I will continue to working on the rest of the tsuka (handle) for the wakizashi project. • • Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video!
