My photography is not good but a few basic items that I can knock up in a day.

I don't sell the more intricate stuff as I don't want to have to do it and some of them can take all weekend especially when I etch in an acid base first.

Sadly the base sheet materials are getting more and more expensive and making conical silver is not only dangerous (re :thumb accident) but wasteful as well , so I give to the animal charity forums for fund raising and keep the more elaborate chains for my daughters or friends .


It really is a therapy rather than anything else, I can spend all day with the radio on and my hammer and blow torches :)

Wish I'd known Casper, I'd have sent it via a courier, that's well over a month now isn't it?

Hopefully some more work on my tattoo but my artist is very unreliable at the moment. Then a Christening tomrrow.

Tattooist seem to be all the same, when I used to go for regular etchings I could never guarantee how long he'd work for. One of mine took 6 months to complete and that was going every 2 weeks. Sometimes he'd spare me an hour others maybe 3 , that's if he turned up at all

AWESOME!! Had an "Open House" at my place yesterday....first day on the market and got an offer!!

I'm not selling....but an offer fecks up the foreclosure the bank has on my place....it's EXTREMELY frustrating.....I haven't paid on my house in nearly a year.....I try to, but the feckers won't take my money, which is just daft. This sale is kind of a stalling tactic.....they're not getting Chez Pickering back anytime soon!!

I'm covered now through 'til March, which is a massive relief....I apologise if I've been a PITA....been stressing over this a LOT.

In other fascinating D41 news, me lass is gonna move in.....I truly love this girl, even though I don't understand a bloody word she says...but my lackadaisical sense of humor sees the funny side of that..

Best chat-up line ever..."Does this smell like chloroform????"

That whole post has me so confused I don't know where to start..

The bank is foreclosing because they won't accept money off you so you are in default??
You have a faux sale and that stops the foreclosure??
If I've learn anything in my time, open and honest communication is the biggest must in a relationship, but you're moving in with and planning to marry someone you can't understand??

I lead such a boring life......

That’s some great work bb41, must be so therapeutic doing something you love like that. Just please be careful with the power tools! After years of sheet metal work on aircraft I can only implore, always have your material clamped or viced before drilling!! Especially with you working alone.

Perkles, can I come and work for you!?! That looks freakin' awesome! You'll have to teach me a lot thou (blush)

You think you're confused??

Yep, the bank won't accept my money. What happened was, the ex stopped paying on the house but didn't tell me....then, after my stretch in the hossie I was no wiser.....I came to an arrangement with the bank, but then my epilepsy kicked in and I was hospitalized again...the bank thought I'd bailed, and I can't blame them. I won't take meds for epilepsy....half a pill will put me out for two days - it's too debilitating.

And then Edie....she's literally the girl next door.....and I never knew she lived there...her English is almost non-existent, my Spanglish (yes, that's a language) is poor...but we seem to get along....plus, she's hot, which is always a plus.
Come on dude.....a Latina dance instructor...who cares if she speaks English?? She cooks (the worst shrimp ever) and she cleans....she rocks!!

Main point is I'm happier than I have been in years.
