what diameter would you want? They can be quite easy to cut out with a core drill and I can do this but would need to know a little more about what you want.
I have a quantity of cut stones to dispose of, everything from amethysts to zircons. they include diamonds up to 25pts, faceted, cabochons of all sorts inc a few interesting shapes of larger cabs. I...
4"h x8"w x12"d 1200 deg 2.5kW kiln designed for test firing ceramics but used by me for wax burnout. Simple oven type temperature controller. Will sit on an area of 12"x18" so only bench space...

Rock tumbling is the simplest way of smoothing and polishing rocks. It is done in 3-4 stages and each takes time but requires little attention from the user. First stage is smoothing your very rough...
the broken insulation will cause hot spots in your kiln and on the elements- not a problem if you run it up to temperature slowly. If you are not putting glaze type materials or reducing materials...
Hi, for lower temperature work you can use a coating of clay. Proper batt wash should be used for temps over 880 deg c. I would recommend using kiln paper for pmc, the thinnest one will be best
a lot of people use bolt together racking which utilise hooks to display items. This is because they pack down flat and dont weigh too much. I would suggest Display stnds ltd of the Portsmouth area...
You can but single hole hollow balls from Cooksongold, just dont bash them with a mallet. You can also get semi-solid balls which need drilling. They are hollow but have a reasonable wall thickness...
I think you mean lost wax casting. This is a process for forming a mould cavity and is used in anything from aircraft turbine blades to earrings. there are many steps to take to get to the final...
If you spend too long heating a crucible it tends to go porous. Use oxy-propane or oxy-acetylene and lightly flux. I dont flux small crucibles at all, just a pinch of borax on the metal when melting...

there is a gentleman in the US by the name of James Binnion who is very adept at this art, I know he has published on it but I have seen his work through a thing called the Ganoksin...
