    Hi, Judy, I do teach, but I'm in Chicago--Sorry! But I'd travel to do
    a workshop... Welding doesn't seem to have fed directly back into my
    jewelry, as yet. Steel is *very* different from gold, silver,
    copper. If you get annoyed at your project, or just feel like it,
    you can toss it over your shoulder, and it will just bounce. It was
    hard, at first, to get used to not being able to do neat, invisible
    joints. But now, I find it very liberating, and anything that gets
    you out of habits of thought is bound to be beneficial. The main
    reason, though, that I went into it was the possibility of working
    large, which I've never done before. I just finished an outdoor
    bench. I got our local city tree trimming crew to cut me a slice of
    a tree, and I plan to weld a base to turn it into a table, if I can
    find a way to sand out the saw gouges. Or maybe I'll just weld
    together some BIG scraps! I don't know-- it's just fun!
