Really beautiful work there.

Something I've always wondered about: How difficult is the lead work around the headlights on those things? Seems like it would be a lot harder than the typical sail panel seam.

It's not too bad. I try to get it paddled in as close to the correct shape as possible around the bottom of the front of the bucket because its a very awkward place to file. Other than that spot its mostly horizontal surface which is pretty easy (it makes it easier for me to not drop a bunch of lead on the floor )

Thank you! I'm just trying to learn what I can from men much wiser and more experienced than I am. I'm thankful for a platform that allows so many great shapers to share their knowledge with us young guys.
