Nice ring, @toivo and excellent punt on the stone!
Thanks for the review of the Paige tips. Helpful info.
Initial thought is great quality and performance and a good purchase. Will know more as I use them more and update this thread. In the punt. I took the holographic vinyl and submerged in water then dried it. Now I am a little worried the uv rays will lighten it. I guess another test is in order. |

I agree! But I'm curious how the epoxy on the doublet let go. Any thoughts on that Billy toiv0 ? Well the back of the cab was polished so my best guess is two things. Cab not cleaned properly and not being roughed a little. This doublet was handled a lot and traveled for ever in my tool box. It survived taking it in and out of the bezel a bunch of times while fabricating the ring. The last time when the ring was ready I picked it up and it just fell apart He epoxy was stuck good on the backing which was sodalite. |

Well we'll well, another person who's made it to the top of the ladder. These are really nice and the shapes and shine are very pleasing.

Well ordered up a set of the Paige Torch tips. First impression they quality and built really well. Just put on a m-1 and a m-2. I can see initially the m-2 will probably be my go to at least to start. Am going to make something later so will put them to a good test. The pics of the flame is fuzzy but in real pretty sharp. Here's the set. 6 tips, adapter, and a tip holder.I   M-1 tip  M-2 tip  |

Got one order in for 15mm x 3 mm. Which is about 5/8 x 3/32. A little over half and a touch under an eighth. These are for some rough pieces of Amythest up to 3 inches. Mighty strong. I also ordered some 1/2 x 1/16 haven't came in yet.  |

Could you add a round abdomen to the back end of your piece using extra easy solder or something? It’s a fun piece regardless! and the pendant reminds me of a sail on a boat. I really like it. I will play around with adding an opisthosoma. He'll I can't even pronounce it. |

Add an abdomen and throw it in a drawer for awhile. Maybe the leg will grow back! Teehee You don't want to see the one I scrapped. You would have nightmares. |
