I kick ass

I have a sunburn across the bottom of my face. This is why you wear goggles.

A shower has mostly washed off the scent of burning. I am not sure if I have little burns on my neck, where the molten sparks landed.

I pacticed using a device that sends a current through a steel wire, so that when you touch it to metal, it gets enough amps to melt. When it does so, the arc flash is brighter than the sun.

I have cut pretty things in steel, ground them with a machine that shoots out sparks (and, if it's broken, shards of grinding stone) then sanded them with a machine that tends to smoke. Said pretty things look awesome.

Then I finished making a hammer, borrowed some sandpaper, and wrote a report.

Tomorrow: Kelowa.
