production: test tube vase

May 23, 2012

Thought I would share a couple shots of our prototype / experiment with building a test tube vase/holder that works with rimless test tubes. I always love looking back on the process – from sketch to creation.

The separate steel pieces are milled, welded together, cleaned up with the grinder and sand paper, blackened using a black oxide solution, sealed and set to dry.
