them edges are good and broke. I can see it on the cap in this pic.
After 20+ years designing/making custom furniture, working in cabinet shops, I know that line like the back of my hand. IMHO, that is a perfect execution of just crossing the margin where you can run your finger/hand over it with moderate pressure, in any direction and feel nothin' but smoove.
Of course, there's a difference between a broken/perfectly smoothed edge (as above) and a roundover. But roundovers belong on Oak kitchen cabinet doors from the early '80s.
Also, tho, too, C-C . . . if you're gonna dance that number, it's gotta be the-cat's-ninnies perfect, every time . . . . no margin for sloppiness there.

I like it just the way it is. I don't want mine any different. I find the lines aesthetically pleasing. 
More pics to follow this week. Have to get my brass nuppin' polished up and ready for it

I agree Peter. Seeing the break clearly now. Don't think I would want anymore than that. Wouldn't want to disrupt the clean line look of this beautiful mod!them edges are good and broke. I can see it on the cap in this pic.

I also agree, breaking an edge in metal and keep a consistent line without actually rolling or beveling is a challenge, don't even think about using even a a fine file...
On my copper/brass/alum. work I basically hit it with 400 grit lain in my palm...oddly enough it's the inconsistent soft backing of my palm that actually creates a consistent break and by using 400 means I really have to put some effort into screwing it up

I am one lucky person. She is a stunning beauty!
Yeah, Quigs... I remember that copper mod you did a while back. That thing was awesome. seeing that made me wanna make one out of copper.
Bet you won't be making many more out of copper eh?...I can't even imagine what kind of hell that must have been boring the batt and bottle holes?
Thanks for bringin' the pichers to page 9, P!!! Good stuff!!!
Quigs, my man..... you sure said sumthin' there... Copper's a beast. It's like it's a living, breathing thing...
It's like it wants to grab and squeeze the life outta whatever tool you put in it... The copper was angry that day, my friends...

Just. Ordered brass can't wait.
Right you are, my dear Penguin! Thank you! Yours is all boxed up, and ready to ship out.
Well,.. I'm movin' on down the list... Here's a pair of aluminum mods that I'm running through at the same time...
I still need to do a little final shaping and finishing, but they are coming along nicely.
