Thank you so much for posting this! For a larger pipe that's going to have about 3.25 inches of glass in it- how long should I hold it at the top temp?
Really appreciate your post!

white microcrystalline wax
I have found prices for this and wonder what the difference is between the different waxes . Some sites sell it fairly pricy and some sell slightly different wax, fairly cheap.. which wax is the best to buy? I want to buy it to mold and do the lost wax technique. What type wax do you buy? A link wou...

Re: New Colour Bar project
Les, You have been nothing but kind and helpful on this board. I too, almost left after a man was rude to me. It's easy to be crass and rude behind a screen. You cannot control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. Love your work and really enjoy the photos...

Re: shank for glass buttons: metal, glass or plastic?
My mother , and her dutch sisters are all world class knitters and even spin their wool. I bought tiny copper shanks and made 1/2 inch etched cabs. They could not use any of these as they were too heavy. I think you need to know what the buttons are for before making them. I ended up using 1 layer a...

They posted a powder screening video 2 months ago. You can also ask questions about said videos via their blog. Grea...

Re: MK -100 saw water source
Hi Charlie! Nice to meet you "face to face" on linkin , bits of crushed glass for the most part. I'm just wondering if there is a better way to keep everything out. I keep those large paint buckets (5 gal?) full of water and have the pump in there. I was kinda wondering if people swapped o...

MK -100 saw water source
image.jpg I've been cutting a lot of pattern bars and started having a problem with the spray attachment getting plugged up. I ALWAYS use a large bucket to put the water pump with fresh water instead of recycling it. I unclogged it today and cut about 20 slices of a 5x2.5 pattern bar and it happene...
