    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.

    This month's Challenge is a sleigh shaped candy dish.

    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 Miniature Christmas Village house.

    Kipling made a tinsmith shop out of copper and Andrew made a steel blacksmith shop (because of course he did.) These are meant to be added to a miniature Christmas village display.

    As is now tradition we talk about some esoteric eggels and share our favorite Christmas decorations and we talk about Dolly Parton again.
