29th of May

Well today was a bit of a funny day, i went in this morning thinking to myself couple quick welds and i would be done for the day and then the forge kicked me on my ass straight away. I hadnt thought about bending it over on a right angle to give that effect i was looking for, one thing i did learn is to get every piece right then to assemble dont assemble it then start bending it about it will weaken the joint. 

Well after some time fiddling about with the bend i went to adrian and he was quite sympathetic, he just walked over and got the ball rolling for me, with his expert supervision i manager to do it to a standard im quite proud of. I will be doing the last little bending on the back of the main drip piece, this could be abit tricky to get it lined up right but i think i can do it in a day.

One thing that was putting me off today was a couple of the 2nd years were on the forge opposite, they were perfectly fine to be there its there forge as much as mine its just anyone from a different year i sort get the feeling there looking at me forge thinking its a little shitty. But thats my problem got to get out of the head more i think and just do it.


This is where we are so far, liking this drip, just need to straighten it up, i will need to put alot of heat onto it so it wont break.

I went to my wood guy today and asked him to sort me out with a decent stand to mount my little piece on when it was done, i think this nice wodd with contrast the metal quite well in my opinion. Guess we will see when it comes to making.

In other news, i must say this week i have got a burst of energy, if it all fucks up tommorow lets see if it stays =]
