Busy long weekend

Post by Kilkenny »

I had Friday off, so I've been back in the shop for a couple of days. Working more on the metal side of things right now.

I've got three Wisby COP #3 in the works, two Mac Bible type helms, a Zweihammer Valsgard 6 kit that someone else started and gave up on, plus a couple of gorgets (both for people with long slender necks).

Because I've been away from things for awhile, most of two days has been spent just getting things cleaned up. The Valsgard kit had to be disassembled so I could clean up the parts and be able to get them to the right shapes. The COP plates had picked up a little surface rust and the edges had to be deburred. Finally got to putting the Valsgard back together, correcting the shape on the frame pieces when I had to take a break.

For all the sore parts (back, feet, hands) there's an overall good feeling to getting back into the swing of things that's well worth it.

What ? You say I should focus on one project and get it done ? But I have more fun bouncing around among six different things :lol:
