On My smaller MK it's at the rear on the side of the left hand side. Undo the bolt use a framing and true it up.

Re: Searching for 4 pound containers of system 96 frit

I think Slumpy's sell five pound bags of 96 frit but it is not Spectrum's, I think it's Carolina frit.

Strawberry Fields

I have not posted a piece in a while so I thought I would show this new Tabletop Water Fountain. The inspiration came from picking wild strawberries on my grandparents farm In New Brunswick Canada when I was growing up.

Rosanna, I happened to have a set of these bases and we were no longer using one. Often I find inexpensive bases at the Salvation Army, I also find great ceramic and stainless molds there.

Jelly Fish Lamp

I have not posted a picture in a while so I thought it was time to share something. I always loved Rosanna's jelly fish and I have seen a few others around so I decided to make a lamp.

Re: The Wentworth Bartop

Great job Bert. Are the lights shinning down on the glass or do you have lights below it?
