Morning people. New purchase to see if can heat the people rather than the workshop given that this is the ceiling! Cheeky daily Greggs to kickstart my brain then back to the grind - quite literally.
How cold is too cold for running workshops do people think? If there’s places to get warmed up and we wear lots of layers?

Another great day with all sorts made today by a talented bunch. Brute force, team work and trusty lick bucket all needed to get to the end results.
Great efforts and enthusiasm and cream cakes were a bonus!

Channeling my inner Abba with my Dougal Mk I and Dougal Mk II baby lamps.

The more curvy lamp shade on left is second generation and I think is bit more the vibe than the straighter one on right?

Taking both to market tomorrow to literally do market research - how apt.

Another great day with lots of lovely people and their unique makes. We ended up with 2 owls a bowl and a lamp. Managed to clock myself on the head before anyone even arrived which made the welding helmet a tad uncomfy.
Last October workshop tomorrow then production line starts in earnest for Christmas events and orders…..

Wow 3 very short years and I’d like to think my welding and work has improved dramatically.
