    *SLAP* * SLAP* *SLAP* (one for each of you) WOT NO PHOTOS????!!!!


    What did you learn about then??? Both of you seem very talented already so what was George's 'Best Bit' for each of you.

    (AND I went through Cirencester twice on Tuesday as I went to the WellChild Christmas Fair near Bourton - I could have popped in for a cuppa )

    Um, George's best bit for me, apart from her stupendous sweet potato and chili soup, was circle cutting and doming very closely followed by her 'simple' ways to do complicated things.

    Then there was her cat, her daughter, her OH, her comfy house...

    I agree with the above, plus for me it has to be soldering, because I was absolutely terrified (though didn't say it) of having a go. After that it was the basket weave demo, beadcaps, hammering, wrapping, oooh too many things to mention.

    Bliss.

    I just hope the shopping lists haven't got too big as a result

    Well Guys, the first couple of items have finally arrived - my sand bag and digital calipers and next week my blowtorch, doming block and cutting disc will be coming too. So you can expect lots more 'how do you do that' type questions coming your way.

    Here's the, probably very silly, first question I have to ask:-

    Do you buy your fuel for your blowtorches in bulk from somewhere, or buy lots of lighters? surely not?

    Oh XXX I've got to go and do dinner, back later... I promise!

    Butane cannisters from the supermarket - but if you have access to a costco, they're amazingly cheap there. Or cash and carry of course.
