Greetings, 
At Loch Soillier's event this weekend, I'm offering a class from 1-3pm on Metal Pierce-work.  
Please let me know if you are interested in attending.  

I will have supplies for 4 persons, others may bring their own equipment if they have it.

Possibly some items at Northern Tools or Harbour Freight and Tools. 

The supply list includes: 
Safety Glasses!!
Jeweler's Saw (3 or 4in width or more)
Jeweler's Saw blades - 2/0 for quick cutting, 4/0 for finer work
Burr Life or Beeswax (to lubricate the saw blades)
Brass - 18g. (I will bring) 
Dremell Drill or hand drill 
Drill bits (various sizes 57-77)
(small drill bits may require a 'chuck' for your dremell drill)

Apologies I did not post the class earlier for you to shop over last weekend, so onlookers are
welcome.  We will be creating Sable Talon award medalions, which hopefully you will donate to the
kingdom.  If there is interest, the class maybe repeated at Gate's Edge event the following
weekend.  

Cheers, Hillary Greenslade
