Got all the copper blanks--21 of them--cleaned up and flattened and the corners all rounded off, took about 2 hours. I started about 7:30 when it had cooled down (relatively speaking; it was below 100F...). With the fans running it was quite bearable. I'm covered with little bitty bits of copper (yes, I wear eye protection and a mask).
Of course, the real test will be tomorrow night, when I start enameling. The kiln makes the corner I'm in kind of...warm. I can turn on the AC in the small office so I have a place to retreat to if needed. With any luck I'll get the clear enamel on all of them in one evening, then I can get a sample done for the customer.
