kareina Friday morning I met Elisabeth, who is responsible for activities at the museum, and took care of the paperwork for volunteering here. She assigned me the basement room in the house by the museum parking lot, and I got some of my stuff liaded before taking a much needed nap. (See last post if you forget why I would be tired).
Then I went up the hill and got myself a rock carving station set up.my past self had managed to mostly round the bottom of a block to make a cooking pot before setting it asside to make the forge stone, but I hadn't started any of the carving out of the inside.
Now, a day and a half later I have managed to dig it down a good 4 or 5 centimetres, by working with great enthusiam, and digging deeper with the chisel than I normally do on my pot. There is nothing like knowin that there are more stone blocks available if something goes wrong to make it easy to just go all out.
I try to time the work so that I am digging with the chisel only when the guides aren't doing a talk in the room, as the hammer on chisel is the loudest part of the project. Instead I either use the stone dressing axe to powder away the bits that stick up after the chisle work, or use the file to work on dmoothing and rounding the outside of the pot.
Friday I managed only three hours before I had eated the good I took with me and was still hungry, so I went back to the house and cooked some food. Today I brought more food with me, so I managed to work most of the hours the museum is open (10:00 to 17:00 tight now).
I have met some of the others working here, and they all seem quite nice. But I am feeling a little tired, so I don't know how late I will be staying up today.
