This week I cut all of my easy pieces and got straight to the grinding part. It really helps to clean up the rough edges. There are a few places where there are gaps, but they should be covered by foil and solder. By the end of class I had started foiling a few of the pieces. I should be ready to solder by the end of the next class unless I have some unexpected catastrophe. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Thank goodness I remembered my duct tape...really cuts down on the slicing and dicing of fingers during the grinding.

A Work in Progress

Well, this week we started cutting out the pieces for our panel and I realized I have become too dependent on my glass saw...in other words, I broke a lot of pieces cutting them by hand. I am hoping it was just the type of glass I was using. It had a tendency to chip, splinter, and run on score lines I hadn't cut. I should be able to clean most of them up with the grinder. The good news is I have the hard part out of the way and just have straight cuts left to go. Yahoo! Oh, yeah, I also gave a lot of sweat the first two weeks, Wednesday I gave the blood, now I just have the tears left. Here's to hoping they are tears of joy. ;0)
