Thanks Devon, I researched mortar joints and the oozing style is the weakest, but for me, the easiest, because shaping tools don’t scale very well. The glue stays flexible for a while and I trim the bigger oozes.
What is left: The folding wooden doors and a dutch door for the ‘showroom’, the chimney transition cap, a scale and melting flasks and tongs. (for the pack rats to steal), not getting these done is covered by the plod.
I was going to use a smaller diameter pipe for the bottle furnace, but the larger one is a tight fit and made painting easier…
I ran across 2 gold crowns my father snagged from his dentist to provide casting gold, nice try Dad, but a low carat gold… and a vial of 24K gold flakes … they are on the counter.
The weathering on the bottle furnace; the paint was tacky, so hand fulls of dirt were rubbed on it and what stuck was left, if in scale…
Votes will tell me how much you liked it… lol
Just out of the Prize Money, methinks
Over the years I found only stone or cement buildings survive here, I’m afraid I should have used Portland Cement for the glue. Time will tell.
A Big Hearty Thanks to Dave for putting up with us again.
Thanks!
