I usually use brass for rebar. My supplier told me he caries bronze bar as well. I don't know anything about bronze other than that the Greeks killed alot of people with it. Is it softer or more flexable than Brass?

Hello everyone, While cleaning up the house, we found an old box with something that I cannot identify. It looks like some sort of printing technique on glass, maybe etched glass? I don't know, so I thought I'd ask who could know. Pictures he...

I am selling an art deco lamp on ebay and would love to get some information. The globe appears to be older than the lamp, though I'm not sure.

Hi, all, I have tried using Patina on copper-foil pieces, but wasnt' all that impressed with it. I do know that metal paint (specifically, Rustoleum brand enamels) seem to totally seal the surface AND are just about indestructable. Tghe "hammered metal" finishes look pretty decent. Also,...

Anyone here that uses computer software for designing tiffany lamps in 3D perspective? I'm not talking about lamps with flat panels, because I can use Dragonfly's Glass Eye for that. I'm talking about the more spherical (half ball) shaped lamps. I'd like to design a lamp in 3D and them map the...

Good afternoon Does someone out there have experience of hydrogen/oxygen mix for their minor bench burner? Do you have a flow rate? Pressure? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Warm regards

Bought this a couple weeks back but I haven't really been home much to watch it. Finally checked it out this morning. I haven't done a Tiffany lamp yet but it looked really thorough and impressive. I was happy that he didn't go over a bunch of beginner stuff that I already know. There were...
