Things I learned: sheetmetal is hard to cut straight. It’s harder than you would think to drive nails through it. It’s also sharp (though I filed down the final pieces so they wouldn’t be.) This fish sat on my workbench for a long time before I figured out what to do with it, but I like the finished product.
As for the whale, it’s similar to another design but I decided to switch things up and make it pink. It’s made from repurposed tinge and groove wood.
The last one is based on an actual fish, the mahi-mahi aka dolphin fish. My creations dont usually bear a strong resemblance to actual species, but this one does. I finished it off with some gel on the fins for texture.
