The tinted lenses flip up, AND they fit over my glasses. That's a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Irwin-213103-2-Inch-Double-Edge/dp/B0001GLEZ8" rel="nofollow">Irwin, double-edged pull-saw</a>... an americanized version of a Japanese saw, and really very cool. It does great a flush cutting, as well as your everyday rip cuts... I used it quite a bit on the pirate ship rehab.

You've seen it, I'm sure. If you ever bought a cheap piece of cabinetry, this the stuff they usually use for the back. It's basically particle board, but with much smaller particles. The Rectangular piece is a bit of firebrick I picked up at a local surplus place. Firebrick (or refractory brick) is basically a ceramic brick designed to handle high temps and to not conduct heat. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebrick) I'd be a little nervous about using cat litter. Most of the stuff you get in stores has perfumes, dyes, and all manner of terrifying stuff. If you can't get your hands on some pumice, you can try regular old gravel. I'd think sand would work as well, though it might be a bit messy if you're working indoors. Hey Janet,

Can I use cat litter for the pumice? I need to make an annealing pan to torch fire BRONZclay with a swivel. Thanks Janet Hi,
