Sending my wishes to you now in case Jen doesn't post anything later today. <br /><br />Haven't seen any comments from you in awhile. I hope all is well, and I hope you will come home from the San Diego Pug Rescue fundraising party with a new puggy. <br /><br />Did you already go bounding as Mary Poppins to Disneyland? I hope we'll get to see photos of that.<br /><br />Oh, and nice cuffs, Jen.

Make sure you do this in a well ventilated area on a non-flammable surface. Don't do this with stainless steel as it give off toxic fumes. This will anneal the metal and make it soft so you can shape it easily. Possibly too soft. Once you get it the shape you like, if it's still too soft working it gently with a hammer will harden the metal again. This will also give the metal an interesting patina.GoodCoderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677936577191164709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-23372972642728507272014-05-01T11:18:08.880-04:002014-05-01T11:18:08.880-04:00Your DIY skills are awesome, Jen!
