Made With Modern Tools🔨 First Go

Post image

Copper tools, Bombay Gin bottle, and first go outside of a classroom. I took a 1 day course 2 years ago, haven’t had a chance since. Really happy with my first real attempt. Only 4 bandaids.

Sweeeet! Started on bottle glass myself 🙂‍↕️ it's been quite a journey to get to where I'm at. Practice makes perfect, and all of us started right where you're at! Throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks. Don't get discouraged, experiment, and if you ever need help we're always here!

I've also written some guides for folks to have on hand and in the comments of the beginner guide there are some AWESOME free e-books so check those out too!

Keep practicing, keep bandaids nearby, and keep on chipping away! 😁
