have angle, will grind

A while back I signed up to do a six-hour into to welding class just because it sounded like a neat thing to do. The date for it just happened to be today and I said fuck it, not going to give up the fun thing just because I've spent my entire monthly spoon allowance on yelling at bankers.

Turned out to be mostly burners and the teacher was the lead fabricator on Heavy Meta.

So it was a lot of fun. And I got to play with some pretty heavy duty power tools.

I had an art class where we spent a couple of weeks on welding. I found it amazing and fun and also terrifying.

Was on Ossington, College/Dundas-ish area? If so, M took a blacksmithing workshop there recently and really liked it.

On Geary. There's a maker space there called the 4tress, tucked away in one of the alleys.

Yep, same place! M said they were a really cool group of people.

Nice. We live among the welders, as you are probably aware.

That sounds really interesting!
