Il walk you through my day, was in the forge all this morning. We had been set a tech session to forge weld some tongs together, im a nervous forge welder because i put a fair bit of work into a piece then i think im just gonna balls it up with the forge. So i went in got on with, first one straight in the heat, cooked nice, brought it out like a pro stuck first time over the moon isnt the words where i was but this if nothing didnt help because after such a great start i had to repeat it again. Second one fucked up bad, the rein burned and i lost alot of materail, i welded it which was good pratice but i couldnt use it. So i set about forging up another set of tongs nibs and reins ready to go, that took about an hour. I got them both ready, banged it on and bam it worked first time again so i had two tongs. GET IN THERE! I thought it would take longer, i didnt take my sketchbook because i thought i would be at it all day so i was left to sampling, which i havent developed enough yet so i did something im not proud of.
I turned to Will, our resident big headed American for a master class in forging a leaf. Its a simple little thing to do, i tried when i first forged and it didnt work out so i havent been back. Will on the other hand can forge these things in his sleep, picture below.
In other news we got our cultural studies breif for the first essay, it doesnt seem that hard a 1,500 essay on consumerism and 500 words on a creative piece. Will take me about two weeks to smash that out, i like how the handing in system has changed to completley digital, i know alot of uni's use it. Had to laugh mind at the amount of people that were going crazy about no trusting the digital submission, its the 21st century fucking get with it.
But before i rant over my troubles, im going to bed. I will be posting tommorow some of my drawings ive been working on in my sketchbook.
Il put up a few pictures to go with the blog, just a few of the days stuff.
