Welding class tonight.
We were still laying bead after bead with the stick welder (getting a bit better here…) but the teacher had two Oxy/Acetylene torches set up and we took turns cutting off pieces of metal and putting holes into other pieces. Fun stuff!
Last Saturday was my last Blacksmithing class and the teacher there invited the class to visit his Studio — one other student and Jen and me went out last Sunday and got the royal tour. Lots of ideas for setting up my own Forge workspace.
To make things more fun, there is a regional Blacksmithing organization that covers Washington, Oregon,
Idaho, Montana, California, Alaska and British Columbia and it turns out that they are having a major meet-up in Mt. Vernon, WA about a 45 minute drive south of us. These happen at various places so finding one so close is pure luck.
