    Fun Project

    Took about a year off of cutting due to familial obligations, this was a fun little project to reacquaint myself with the process, this is a 3.5oz 304 stainless flask, it was a cold start project (no warmups) Christmas present for the squeeze, finished up about midnight Christmas Eve/Day.
