*Warning!!!! Please research the dangers of melting certain metals. There's a serious problem called "metal fume fever". Zinc is one of the main culprits. Aluminum, Brass (3% - 45% zinc), US pennies since 1982, commercial bronze, nickel silver, aluminum solder, etc. So, know what you're working with. There's quite a bit of information on this subject on the web. Here's also a link from Charles Lewton Brain about Metal Safety: www.ganoksin.com/borisat/nenam...

OMG! I have looked ALL OVER to figure out what and HOW to do this! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I had it envisioned in my head and didn't know what the technique was called so I didn't know how to search for it. YAY! Thanks girls; LOVED the BLOOPERS at the end!

Then it all fell apart again. One of the reasons that I hired Lisa was because she was so funny and laughed at my jokes. That's a difficult thing to find 'cause my jokes are often not very funny.
