Metalsmithing

My intro to metalsmithing class starts today (Monday August 10th). I cannot wait to learn officially how to saw, solder, rivet...etc! It is going to be great having this foundation, I will be able to create so many different pieces of jewelry after it. I want to be able to have a whole line of jewelry just of metals-things that are uniquely mine own design, and not like everything else out there.
I wonder how many more tools I will want after the class is over....which may not be good because I need to save my money for school.
My bags are packed for the class, and boy are they heavy. That's the price I pay for bringing everything that I could possibly need to the class-minus a couple of really heavy tools. For example my torch and my dapping block set.
I wont be able to post until after the class on Thursday, unless there is a really really important thing I must share. Until then- keep creating and inspiring others!!
