Too busy cutting and grinding to take many snaps tonight. Here's what I got done though. Six down, four to go:
I may or may not have silicosis after spending the better part of tonight's class grinding these pieces down. My cutting skills still leave plenty to be desired. I also sustained a tiny injury from the grinder, opening some skin on my left index finger by getting too excitably close to the grinder head.
I really want to finish cutting and grinding next week and get on to foiling and soldering. That is yet an unknown to me, so I don't know how long it will take. I now see it's quite likely I won't finish the lampshade this term. But there is the possibility of going back for next term's class to finish it, then to try my hand at one of these far prettier and more interesting lampshades.
