Metal Works

This past Friday I went to a free metal working workshop with a friend of mine. I spent 5 hours working metal into shapes and I had a great time. We were given a fairy long, thin piece of steel, which we would put into a fire pit until it turned red hot and then take it over to an anvil and bang it with a hammer. This process is repeated over and over until one's personal desired outcome. I made a spiral and a spoon. The spoon was started with a larger, flatter piece of metal(just look at the handle, thats the original piece since I didn't get around to shaping that part). I was going to put more effort into the spoon, but it was 2am by the time I got to the point where you see it now, and I didn't have the energy or the arm strength to work on it any longer, so I just did the finishing work and kept it this way.

This is My Spiral and My Spoon for Eating Gruel in my Shanty Shack.
