Shop Class

Art brought up many of his shop tools to Holden so he could work with them, but also so he could use them to teach and share resources with others. Today was a slow and rainy Sunday and so he and a few eager learners headed up the hill to the shop so he could show them how to use his plasma arc and TIG welder.
The Plasma Arc is used for cutting metal and is what Art has used to make his metal cut outs that he is known for. This Advent season we have created a "living" Advent calendar in which each of us pick a day and plan a simple craft, treat or poem for the day that our Advent window is opened. Art and I have December 18th and we plan to help everyone design and cut out their own metal ornament.

Here is "Jack". He arrived from Korea on Friday. Since he has been here we have had a 12 hour power outage and a fire drill. He is not quiet sure where he has landed but he really is proud of his first metal cut out.
