I was working on the start of some lights I am doing. I realized that most finished projects are a combination of simple procedures put together and how they are put together makes them attractive or not. This is something I have been doing for a long time. I use it on a lot of my work in different combinations. I got the idea from one of my first books. As I was working I thought I would take some pictures and post it here on the forum. The pictures are not in order. I did try but don't know how to rearrange them so they make sense.
I hope it comes out ok. I can do the work, the problem I have is making sense out of it when I try to convey it to other people.
That said enjoy
Here is to explain the order. #1-#2- are the tool, #6 is how it is held so my gloves aren't burnt to much, #5 is the scored line. It has to be scored first, you can't get to greedy otherwise it doesn't turn out to good. #4 is the second pass and #3 is the finished bead.
nice work stretch........

Help, the attached files/thumbnails don't show up on my computer. I'm thinking that there is some software I should have to be able to view them. Also noticed this on other forums.?????? Anyone have a suggestion.

Thanks,

What browser are you using Gene? If it happens on other forums...might be a preference setting that disables images. Just a guess.
