I went from sketching plans at 10:30 to getting parts just past lunch. Then I sculpted until 4:15. I walked across town for an hour of electrolysis. Then I ate dinner at a bench in the co-op while buying a fewm groceries. At 7:30, I returned to school, leaving milk outside with the flurries. I sculpted for another hour, then started making a mould out of bathtub caulking.

I am getting better at this metal casting. I just banged out the first stage of a cylindrical bronze bell (modeled after a xylophone key - as despite a lot of searching, I can't find any traditional examples though I'm sure they exist) in one day. With electrolysis and grocery shopping thrown in.

In January, this would have taken me two weeks.
