So metal work seemed to be a theme for me this year. I went to classes on tinsmithing, wire weaving, and silversmithing. I was surprised by how easy it would be for me to get into any of those hobbies. They don't require a lot of tools and skills that I don't already have.

In the tinsmithing class, we learned how to cut, shape, and solder pieces of tin, using simple tools. |

I put together this hurricane lamp in a matter of hours. |

Viking wire weaving is a way of making chain. |

I put the small length of chain that I wove in class on to a leather thong to wear as a necklace. |
I especially like the results from silversmithing class.

Tools for basic silversmithing - not that difficult to obtain. |

An easy first project - setting a cabochon into a bezel. |
