This month's Challenge is an original cast copper Monopoly piece.

We both had issues learning the new skills needed to create successful castings from melted copper. In the end Kipling made a sleigh a rustic Aladdin lamp and Andrew made a polished mini anvil.

As is now tradition we talk about some esoteric eggels and share our favorite pranks we have pulled and chat about our current shop wonders and woes.

Kipling made a sleigh with a great tufted pillow seat out of copper and aluminum and Andrew made a sleigh from steel and struggled to find the inspiration on this project.

As is now tradition we talk about some esoteric eggels and share our favorite Christmas foods and Andrew asks what material other than metal that we want to make something from..

This month's Challenge is a Animal Brooch . It had to be an animal we had not made before, and it had to be small enough to be worn as a brooch.

Kipling used copper and epoxy to make a loon brooch. While Andrew made a wire frame silhouette of a wolf with scrolls inside out of a coat hanger.

As now tradition, we talk about our shop woes and wonders and share an esoteric eggle about our favorite chores.
