    It might be well to have several projects going at one time but make
    sure some of the projects are just plain - meaning - simple designs
    that will be easily finished. You should have a variety of pieces to
    sell to the public anyway. Some should be nice looking basic pieces.
    Others can be fancier and use more advanced methods of working with
    metals. By being able to see that some pieces are being finished
    while you are working on the harder pieces, you will feel good about
    what you are doing. On any one piece you don't have to put into
    practice every technique you might know.
