In Art College I used both the wood shop's various saws, and sanders, and the metal shop both for sculpture projects. Never welded, but did braising; where you melt a brass rod end into a little blob to join, in my case, metal rods togther. Torch, and protective glasses.

I started making unique wire jewelry in my 30's while no saws, a cutter, various types of pliers for bending, etc, and 2 different hammers.
.
I enjoy things being crafted so I occasionally watch vids like wood turnng, ceramics. I forgot I watched metal smithing jewelry projects from a set of a week long set on line tutorials claeemsses and talks during covid.
Very interesting!
This was interesting. I should look more stuff up. Usually things occasionally pop up on YT for me.

Oh, and my cousin was a professional blacksmith for a few years.

Close to ? at least 50 or more jewelry (including metal smithing), and other crafting lessons!
I set up a new password.

And as long I have I have internet access they were bought permanently to be looked at.
So I'm looking at casting pewter caster right now.

I've been wanting to go back, and look at some of them - for months. So you did your good deed of reminding me tangentially! TY!
