Hammerhand Workshop<p>A5: I feel like sending a finished piece back in time to my younger self would undermine whatever drove me to make it in the first place. Given that I CAN send whatever I want to my future self (time capsule), I'm struggling with this. I think something that could be interesting would be to send my past self a silicone mold (self-made so it fits the criteria) for casting pewter. By the time I was a young teen, I was experimenting with casting metal by melting solder into single-use molds I made from kneaded erasers and/or silly putty. (I know, I know.) Maybe getting a proper mold from my future self would mean I wouldn't abandon that pursuit for a good 30 years before picking it up properly. </p><p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MakersHour</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://cupoftea.social/@MakersHour" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>MakersHour</span></a></span></p>
