Don Quixote is part of a larger piece that will feature major story elements but he is the center piece. Hat and shield are can ends. Armor pieces are shaped can sides. I used a small ball peen hammer, rubber mallet and jewelers anvil to do the shaping. Tin snips work well to create the general shape. The rest of Don is coat hanger built out from top down using bronze brazing rod and a propane torch. I will sandblast him to remove the flux and any remaining white paint (hanger original color).
