THE BUSINESS END OF A VISE
Yes, another animated gif of something lovely and mundane. Here, shots of the simple but pretty act of drilling a hole into brass. Not that you asked, but the hole will ultimately have threads cut into it and the other end of the brass will be turned into a handsome ball to serve as the terminus of a pretty leg. For more on that you'll just have to check back (or drag your lazy ass to the Denver Art Museum in August to see the thing in person).
