Today i've been off doing things which even i cant say was work, visiting a friend etc. However i've got the odd pic to bore you with anyway. I made two shoes, only tiny ones. I described them a "pervert shoes" and if you think that naughty its nothing to what the wife called them!
This is their start point, a manky old bit of copper i found in the garden and a tiny paper shoe pattern i cut out. Shoes look weird flat don't they! Notice the tin snips, again far too big.....
One flat one folded up and soldered...
Soldering on the heel, which is hard work with only two hands. Trouble is with so much soldering the thing always gets messy. Bits of solder etc and grunge all over it so some seriouse grinding has to be done latter. As well as shaping the heel etc the blobs have to be ground off..
Again i'm taking a pic in the dark but you get the idea. Need a file running over it though and a polish.....
I have made something else but i cant talk about that until the "customer" tell me she likes it...or not!.. its a mere trifle
