re: Punched metal raven box

Indeed, YRTi. I suspect it has.

Thanks, Brian! Mostly I don’t want to blunt one of my existing awls because I use them frequently. Better to either make or repurpose a new tool, but thanks for the confirmation that a blunted tool is probably the right approach.

Thanks, Tom. Yeah, there’s a lot out there, and I may end up just scratching the surface, but I figured I should give it a try. There’s one of the small towns on the high road to Taos that has a handful of galleries selling Hispano-made punched metal art, and that’ll probably be a place we visit this summer.

Thanks, Jeff! I’ll probably try a flattened food can at some point too. That’s what the locals used to do.

For those interested in more, there are some local artists who do pretty great work. Justin Gallegos Mayrant is one I found. There’s also some unnamed stuff. But it’s a lot more than just pie safes.
