Etching, Sanding, Cutting, Stamping

I finally hooked up my flexshaft so I had to do some metalworking.  It was the perfect date activity, believe it or not.  I convinced the guy I went out with that we'd work with tons of metal and tools and he totally bought into it!  I had him cutting copper pipe into little bits while I went to town sanding, filing, shaping, and hammering. 

We played around for a few hours with these little rings.  I showed off all my different texture hammers and then I showed him how I would anneal a little piece to keep shaping it.  Boys like fire, so that went over well.

We also played chemist in the kitchen with some PCB etchant.  I did some stamping and the finished pieces came out really cool!  I haven't finished them up yet, though, so no final reveals to show off.

While cleaning off my stamps I ended up with this little paper towel that kinda summed up the fun we had....
