Stop in for a cup of coffee

ok I am curious...what is a shrinking stump?
By putting creases into metal, then forcing them back down,it pushes the metal into itself.using a hollowed stump, it makes quick work of it. The wood provides grip as the metal is shaped. Easy to make a bowl with 20 gauge metal. Brb…k- im back!
Here is Karl Fisher, thats his hammer and he made the stump.
