While working on the plate that makes up the table top, the plate slipped from the vise and fell on my toes. Unfortunately, I wasn't wearing my steel toed shoes at the time and ended up breaking a couple of them. It's the first time I've broken a bone in my body, but it could have been much worse. It's just very uncomfortable to walk needless to say.
I have a lot of people ask me if metal sculpture is hard. I can attest that it is. One must endure smashed body parts, burns, cuts, flying debris, smoke inhalation, and being on fire occasionally. I could tell you a few funny, "I got hurt" stories. If you have a passion for something though, you're willing to endure just about anything. I feel very blessed to be able to do what I do, and be able to share it with others.
