your kung fu is getting better grasshoppa...
yes. i was using my "striker" to hold marbles before my mold arrived. it is a flint sparker used to light the torch. made of metal. it has a loop at one end that my marble fit in. worked perfect as a little marble handle. so i'm heating a marble and the end of the striker is hella hot. i set it down. walk over and put the marble in vermiculite on the wood stove. then i walk back over and grab the loop end of the striker so i can light my torch again. it sears the flesh of my pinky. i throw it down. i spray some water on my finger real quick, look at it and say "fuck that hurt". then bent right down and picked it up off the floor. it was still red hot.
flimsy? i'm using 1/2 inch solid rod for the pendants and heavy walled 25mm tubing for the pipes.
Folks are gonna think you're a crackhead, running around with burnt fingers.I'd do the same thing...remember when wood burning was popular?A few burnt fingers cured me of ever wanting to try that hobby.
