vacuum casting and billie goat horns by
Mike72903
A question about vacuum casting. Is it possible to have too much vacuum
capacity applied to the bottom of a small flask? Being a hobbiest and a
dabbler, I don't really have the 'normal' commercial equipment specific to the
casting process. I'm using a Welch belt driven vacuum pump left over from...

vacuuming investment by
Carl West

and just vacuum it once? Or have I mis-read?

Value of Rubies per karat by
TXZZ
YEah, I know this is a loaded question
Yes, I know that like all gems, karat value increases exponentially
with the size of the ruby, because large gems are the rarest
Yes, I know color and clarity etc. are important
Still, is there a basic table showing what the value of a ruby per
karat is?

Do any of you readers know how to remove the links in the stainless steel

through the holes in the links do not want to compress. There are
directional arrows on the side of the links that would be against the
