I love, love , love this song!
Taking a short break from bird feeders. Knock on wood, everything's going together nicely today. It's been a learning process. Since I use various metals - brass, steel, silver, lead, etc. - I've had to figure out soldering methods that work best for joining them. The dogs have learned not to lay at my feet, since hot solder has a tendency to "spit" and drop! One day, I might even learn to wear shoes when I'm working - I have come up with a few new dance steps, though.![]()
I discovered today that alcohol works great at removing extra flux (in case you ever need to know). I should, but don't, wear gloves when I'm working As a result, my hands really suffer. I don't want to come off like a commercial, but I have found a couple of things that work. Before starting, use a "buffer" lotion. I like both Silicone Glove by Avon, or Gold Bond. Walmart now has a generic Gold Bond that they sell under the "Equate" name. I keep it all over the house, in hopes that I'll remember to use it.
Silver polish, soldering chemicals, and extreme heat really do a number on my nail polish. I'm too cheap to pay for manicures and acrylic nails, but I really try to keep my nails looking good. I've found a Green Tea Nail Dryer from Family Dollar that actually dries the polish quickly, and makes it last longer.
Obviously, I'm a discount shopper! If you get nothing else from reading this, maybe I can pass along a few of the cheap options I have found. You should have something to show for taking the time to read this. By the way, I really do appreciate the people who do take the time. I know how sparse free time can be.
