Week 4

Week 4

I finished off the gurneys with Ben. I didn’t like working with him. He slowed everything down, whereas I wanted it done quickly. He was right to do it slowly.

On Wednesday, James started showing me how to use a gas torch — gas welding and cutting. I enjoyed it a lot. It is relaxing and whimsical! Since I don’t have to wear a full mask to weld, I can wear only welding glasses. All the sparks look green, and they are slower, which is absolutely beautiful.
On that day, I was set to work on a small sculpture to commemorate the excavation of a woolly mammoth in South London (in 1898). It is nice to mark the history.

On Thursday, I continued to practise gas welding. I like working with James the most. We talk about various things. On that day, my coworker was assigned to clean the workshop, and for some reason, he expected me to help him(?). I did help him with things that needed two people to move, but then I went back to James and my mammoth. The coworker was pissy about that. 😐 wtf?
