I had this lovely copper soldering iron ( the copper pyramid) sitting on my bench for quite a while and I was wondering what to do with it. I had just done a small piece with a watering can ( water tank) and probably the ideas combined to make this piece. I do like to combine different materials if I can and I do like the shine of the copper against the steel. Silly… yes.. but probably no more silly than some of the theories I have heard.
