This week I’ve been meaning to practice cutting stitches into my copper using a graving tool to help hold my copper domes in place whilst soldering, as there is a risk that they will move as the solder runs and then be off centre for the holes I cut out last week. I would’ve had […]

Over the past few years I’ve had to put work on the back burner a bit and only dipped my toes in here and there to stay in touch with things and keep things moving albeit at a snails pace. This has been down to health issues, pregnancies and finally being blessed with baby Milo […]
