practice scrolls and letters

I had fun cutting this 1018 steel. It is my first practice since eye surgery in Sept. It was done from some drawings done before that.
I took a wrong turn and got lost down there on the lower rt.
It is sooo wonderful to have my vision returning, and now I can see my mistakes even as I make them! Couldn't resist putting the torch on it for some color.........life is fun again!
Comments and criticisms are welcome, and I know my photography is not too good either. You can just call me 'happy eyes' from now on, though.

Hi "Happy Eyes"

Good deal on the eye surgery. It makes a big difference if you can see the work alright.

Brail engraving is not a recommended technique.

Keep at it, your definatley headed down the right track.

As for the message..................that's great!!!!

Cheers
Andrew

Thanks all,
It is amazing how the human mind and body adapt to less than perfect conditions. I knew my cataracts were becoming a problem, but other conditions as well called for lens replacements for both eyes, and I also had some growths removed from behind eyelids. I truly didn't realize just how bad things were until everything healed up....,now cow chips along the way are no longer a problem, only the tiny magnetized metal chips! Which reminds me, what do you all use to demagnetize things? I'm thinking almost every thing steel on my bench is becoming a magnet!
