Week 27

I have been feeling satisfied with the quality of my work. I particularly enjoy welding aluminium. I’m an Aly Princess! I like the repepivnes… Just like embroidery. 

Week 28 

I just moved flats, I have been ill, and I overslept for work twice. 

Through the week, I have been welding BRAS! Finally!!! It is very particular. The amps range is small. Brass likes a specific temperature. With steel, the worst that can happen is that I burn the weld. Brass gives me a small window to add the filler rod (we use bronze), and if I’m too late or heat it up too much, it disappears in a white cloud of zinc. Like a magician hehe 

I think I have been doing well. 

During the week, Will has been setting up for a big pour. He asked me for help so on Thursday we choreographed the steps of the pour. Will was the star of the show. First he tool out the ceramic shells out of the kiln and placed them in a big container with sand. Then Stella and I covered the funnels of the shells with tin foil and topped up the container with more sand to stabilise them. Then Will took out the crucible out of the furnace.  Stella scrapped the flux out of the surface of the melted metal  

Week 29-33

So I did some more work with brass. I like it… it’s heavy, solid! Then I fell in love with copper! I just love how it changes colours. Life is great because is bright and warm. Also we had a photographer coming taking photos of us! I was a great model. 

Week 34

The photos were posted on IG… In caption I was called a Metal polisher from Poland Ha, ha… :\ Polish polisher. Evidently I am a welder! Holding my welding mask with my name on it!!!! Rude. 

Also I learned that welding without jacket can give you a sun burn. Ouch! I didnt do that much welding too! The global worming is going to destroy us.
