Introducing myself
Wow, your own homegrown foundry? I am sooo envious - My equipment wish list
is already a huge long list most of it in the metal working area (that i
believe is one reason stone forever remains a favorite of mine - with the
exception of the purchase of a foredom about 15 years ago all the tools I
use are vintage and of the handpowered variety - some of my chisels and my
mallet I have had and used since day one 40 years ago. (I do however admit
going through a few handles for the mallet). I am curious about your
foundry equipment and set up. Was it expensive to set it up? Would it be
off topic to discuss the foundry here? If so and you would not mind
bragging a bit about it please write me directly and tell me about the home
grown foundry.
Thanks for your kind words about my work. I love to use exotic stones and
will attempt carving most anything I get my hands on. It is particularly
exciting to approach a new type of stone not knowing what its exact
properties will be. Rare and semi-precious stones although more difficult
to come by are all the more satisfying upon completion. My favorites thus
far are the jaspers, brazilian opals and lapidilite.
*hugs* to all the dusty ones,
Sue
