I took a course over the weekend called Women Wanna Weld! It was put on by a group trying to get more women into the trades area. I've taken a few of their classes, built this computer in one actually. They've all be lots of fun. I definately didn't miss my calling as a welder, but I enjoyed playing with all the cool tools. I got to make several projects too!

This was my first project. It's a shelf/leash hanger, about 28 inches long, 14 gauge steel! I have no idea how we're going to hang it! It's heavy!!

I didn't like the way the legs turned out on this candleholder, but once I added the garland, I liked it alot more!

I made two of these. They are galvanized steel and fit over large candles. I think I'm going to give this one to my Mom.

And my last project was this copper & brass bracelet for Stuart. He's always whining that I never make him anything. It's reallly hard to make masculine beadwork, especially when I usually work in tiny beads! This will suit him much better, plus they say copper helps reduce some people's pain. Can't hurt!

I want a plasma cutter now!
