Hi Thaine

Good point about making different sized plates. Compared to using a torch, I think you get a deeper finish by keeping
the piece at a constant temperature for a few minutes. I think that the next time I do this, I will have multiple pieces ready
to go like slide blanks, sling swivel bases, etc. It takes a while to get the temperature stabilized, but once you have it there, you
might as well take advantage of it.
