Episode 20, in which we all make progress on our projects.
I was trying to make a large oval "button" out of a piece of oak salvaged from the railroad tracks, but ended up dropping and breaking my piece. Not to worry though, that's just wood telling me it wants to be a different shape. I salvaged the busted pieces and they will likely become some nice jewelry.
Episode 10, in which Cheryl tells Joe Willie Smith to spin it and run.
I swear, I love how much I get to play in this class, and that my teacher is free to play, too. Spending my semester this way is one of my better decisions.
Have a look at what my fellow students worked on today:
I did more sandblasting today. Specifically, I blasted some ugly green paint off of a wood frame purchased for under $1 at the As Is Yard. The sandblasting revealed the grain of the wood nicely. Joe Willie also sliced a piece of oak for me, and it's gorgeous.
Unfortunately, while I'm doing my own work I forget to yank out the video camera. I'll try to do better next week and show you how my own work is coming along.
