My forged and welded Sandhill crane! I did decide

My forged and welded Sandhill crane! I did decide to paint it, since it's metal and would be outside - it took me a few weeks to actually get paint, and then a few weeks to actually get around to painting, but I did it last week. I'll show off the finished one tomorrow! Overall this class was hella fun. I don't believe she teaches over the summer (it's just too hot in Florida) but keep an eye out for classes by @leslietharpdesigns for blacksmithing and welding!

For Throwback Thursday, a family photo I know I've probably shared before. Aunt Gay, Uncle Joe, my dad (Jay), Mike, my grandmother (Lorena), and Rusty. What a bunch of cards! (See what I did, there?)

I love that Leslie snapped this photo and then sent it to me! There's something about sparks that's just heckin' fun.

Happy Wednesday! What's on your plate today? What are you up to? What are you eating, reading, watching, listening to, making?

I can not even tell you how hot it was that day, in all those layers (which I was glad to be wearing, don't get me wrong). And that helmet was a LOT heavier than I was expecting it to be! But learning to weld was hella fun, I can say that for sure. Here I am getting ready to work on welding the legs...

(continued from yesterday)

Here are the parts I forged for the crane, by the end of the day. The next day of class will see the addition of legs, a base, and welding all of these parts together. But first I have to learn how to weld!

Hey, all! I'm still taking a little time off work

Hey, all! I'm still taking a little time off work - out of town and out of country family is visiting so my focus is on them right now. So instead of work things, let me tell you this week about this awesome two-day class I took a couple of months ago! It was a combo blacksmithing and welding class, with Day One being forging the parts of a Sandhill Crane, and Day Two being welding all the parts together. Here I am, forging the body of the crane. Stay tuned for more....!
