Metal Work: Success!

Honestly, I'm so proud of myself! My first time working with metal, and I can now say that I'm not too bad at it! I'm very satisfied with the outcome of my metal piece. I know I was a bit iffy in the beginning, but I'm really glad I gave it my all. After weeks of sawing, it began to come easy for me. I would only break one or two saw blades a day. Pfft, I don't know about you, but that sounds pretty impressive to me for a first-timer. My metal piece consisted of a lot of curves and sharp turns. The curves, I actually thought were pretty darn easy peasy! Now, those sharp turns gave me some frustration. However, they weren't so bad in the end. Crazy that I'm even going to say, but....sawing is fun! I didn't even get any boo-boos! HA! Take that, saw blade! I resisted your sharp edges, and completed my piece in one piece (see what I did there? He he). Sanding wasn't much of an issue either. I'll admit that while soldering, I was pretty nervous though. I had to have some people help and guide me through that process. I even jumped when I threw my metal piece into the bowl of water. Oh, but that "sizzle" sounded delightful to my ears. Overall, it was a very fun, interesting, unexpected, hard-working experience working with metal. I became pretty devoted to my piece that I even skipped lunch on some days. Something better be THAT important to make me skip out on lunch!! I love food. Well, hopefully I'll get another chance to reunite my love for metal sometime again soon. It was fun while it lasted. Until next time, metal. Try not to be so harsh on me when I return to you. I must reunite with my graphic pencils, I hope you don't mind. I just miss them so, toodles!
