Works on the bench include: a copper cuff, waiting on figuring out a solution to a problem. Three sterling infinity pendents that are partially shaped, needing to texture then final shaping and polishing. A copper jewelry/trinket tray, hammered and layout lines drawn for stamping, waiting on a couple of new stamps ordered, then stamp, form edges/lips, then patina and lacquer. Brad  |

Wow, Brad, you've been busy! Looks like lots of good stuff will be coming from you in the near future. Funny, I always have more than one thing going at a time, except for jewelry projects. I find that in the one thing, I need to focus on one thing at a time.  Dawn |

Busy indeed!
Depending on what it is, I sometimes have more than one jewelry project going, but the danger is always one is going to turn from WIP to forever UFO.

Multiple projects can cause me to lose focus, for sure. However, I spend so much time with pieces annealing, pickling, cleaning, cooling, patina dipping, etc. that I feel so inefficient and bored. So with a few pieces in progress, I can continue working, during the times I have to sit at the bench. If I get onto a complicated piece, I may limit it to one at a time, so I can have time think through "the next step." Brad
