I have spent the week bevelling the weights and adding more details to make them look like there are 2 plates there to finally get my point across and sanded down the piece to make it as smooth as possible 🙂 Now I just gotta finish staining. I decided to stain because even Mike has said on occasion that the piece would lose its integrity if it looked like a solid metal piece by coating it in laquer but I know Rod really want to see it stained and so do I because at that point I feel the piece is complete its not like its ready for processing so I feel like staining the piece would allow me to meet right in the middle.
