This is a micro forge I built for the purpose of doing very small scale metal working for jewelry as well as glass bead work. a propane nozzle slips into the side of the hole and heats the brick up red hot.
This is a bathmat made of wine corks stood up on end. The whole thing is in a shadow box I made of pine, and painted an almond color. This thing is remarkably comfy to stand on, its like standing on a pile of baby ducks.
