Finally a bit of workshop time

 

I think it has been about two months since I have been able to get into the workshop to hammer and grind some metal because of infected wounds and virus. As you can see from the opening photo I progressed some product (leafspons, tea caddy spoons and leaf pate or spreading knives).

When finished some of these might go to a local shop and some might head to Scotland to be part of our local pop-up exhibition. 

I reacquainted myself with tools and forms I made and use for making product including my thumb print groove in a piece of hardwood. I had to grind a few of the tools to remove rust that had built up from lack of use and our recent wet weather.

A few more process photos follow.

Though I felt a bit weary after the session in the workshop it was great to be back on the tools again. I might get back to finish these pieces over the next couple of days.
