I think I should clutter my benche a bit more and see what happens
Really gorgeous work!
Hi, Daniel, every one has his own way how to work. For me it has no sense to put all tools in the boxes every evening and pick it up every morning. In this clutter I perfectly know the location of all tools and can find it without looking. Then, after work is completed, some ounce of steel particles could be collected and gold particles separated from debris. And, if I'm lucky to get another commission, it all started again.
