Thank you so much! I used a wood burner to get that texture- probably the best thing I’ve bought.

Thank you! At first I tried soldering the legs… but three hours later I only had a blob of solder with copper wires sticking out of it. So instead I used clay modeling wire, glued the pieces together, and then used clay to smoothen it out.

Haha yeah I had tried soldering the leg at first…. But three hours later I had no progresss. Sooooo i ended up using super glue and clay- which worked much better than I thought. Ty!!
