7:59 am - I'm starting this blog. I should be starting my
very first anti, BUT...I don't remember how to turn on the butane torch I
bought. I have to wait until my bf is awake so he can show me again.
Well, sure, it's a bit of a shaky beginning, but I have high
hopes. I bought the copper at the hardware store yesterday. It's .016 sheet.
I'm still looking for a cross peen hammer, but for now I have my rockhounding
hammer. I had the tin snips already! Yay, me.
11:30 am - Ah. Child-proof button. Check.
2:00 pm - No anvil of
any kind, so I hammered it on a brick in the backyard. Was too impatient to
wait for it to cool, so I held it down with a rock while I hammered away,
wondering if it would 'work.' I was
timid hammering it at first, thinking I was going to 'break it' - then I
figured the metal molecules don't move for the timid, and hit it harder. I just pickled it at the end, in a
mixture of white vinegar and salt.
And we're off!
