I get a lot of people at various events who wonder about what I do and how I do it, so I decided to make a Ustream channel! Rather than prerecording shows (which I would be tempted to spend many hours editing because I’m picky like that) I broadcast a live feed of me working at my bench. I’ve had two good shows so far, and I really enojyed it! I’ve been testing various camera and microphone set-ups, and I think I’ve found a camera that’ll work well for it. The others either had bad quality, really touchy autofocus, or were nearly impossible to position.

The broadcasts themselves are mostly late shows, as I have to wait until the Little One has gone to bed. I keep an eye on the chat window so I can answer any questions that people may have, and I have fielded some good ones! ^_^ I try to narrate what I’m doing as well. As for show content, I might be working on steel costume armor, or I might be using a torch on fine silver – You never know. I try to keep it interesting, though. Last time, I tried out a design for a ring that had been in my head, and the viewers got to watch the start-to-finish creation of this piece:

So if you’re into watching people practice their craft, give it a look!

There’s no set schedule, but I announce when I’m doing shows on the Facebook Page. There’s no set length, either. I stop when I’ve done what I want to do on a certain piece, or when I finish something in the case of small pieces. If you guys like it enough, I wouldn’t mind doing a regular show once or twice a week!

Speaking of, I’ve got to get set-up for tonight’s broadcast! ^_^
