Factory day


Today we went into production making tumblers with little round Swedish-style handles. There were 6 stages and we worked as a team doing one stage for 20 minutes and then moving on to the next when the whistle blew. It was terrific fun, if a bit nerve-racking as you held up everyone else if something went wrong and you had to start again. But it went pretty well -- the idea being to work fast, as if on a production line and not worry too much about perfection. I'm not sure how many of them will have come out well, but I we made about 30 during the morning.

In the afternoon I started my wine glasses.
