Wizard Lizard Shapeshifts First Edition

Rob Koehl — Mon, 20 May 2013 20:33:58 -0500

About a month ago, I walked out my front door and saw a lizard sunning himself on a rock. He looked like he was doing push-ups. I started laughing and pointing at him. He jumped up on his hind legs and started reprimanding me, “Save it weirdo! You humanoids have nothing on me. Look at your bizarre behavior.” Then he started shape shifting into all of these different poses representing activities that we do as humans. I laughed and nearly cried. Then he jumped on his roadrunner and rode away.

Totem is the newest in my steam punkish series. I am really having fun playing with objects from the recycle yard.

removing cores with water

I should add that one of the easiest ways to remove plaster based investment cores is to use a power washer with a high pressure nozzle. In fact, you can eben get volunteers to play with water and do it for you at times.

This is the 4th in a new series for me featuring stained glass set in pipe cut offs. I love to play with the colors and sizes of pipe. Lin

Blower view for melting furnace burner

bpfink — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 19:35:11 -0500

I do question the leaf blower only because I have gone through several and they are a cheap motors and found my last 3 unreliable for a good run. The air pressure they give is more than needed so I only hope you have a way to also jack it down via some divergent pass system when needed to do a flame adjustment. I melt way more at a time in a much bigger furnace and use a vacuum cleaner motor for the air. That then goes into a pipe with a large 3 inch diameter water shut off valve before it turns into the 90 degree angle run into the furnace where the gas is also added. That makes it possible to throw away some of the air pressure without taxing the blower motor or chocking the intake and making the blower motor run hotter.
