Attention all you lampworkers out there! This is a 'must have' tool, IMO. The "RAZ STEADYREST MARVER" by Bill Rasmussen,

is now ready for purchase. The stainless steel plate stays cool to the touch so you can rest your rod hand for those delicate glass bead applications. The Steadyrest Marver is made to fit Minor and Lynx torches but dad offers custom fitting for other torch models. Right or left handed designs available. Priced at $45 + $4 shipping.
Being the oldest lampworker daughter does have perks! The folks came to the Boise area lampworkers meeting a few weeks ago and did a demo on the marver. I've got mine mounted on the minor, Tami C. ordered and has received her Lynx mounted, Teresa H. ordered and has received her custom mounted marver. I absolutely love mine! Dots have always been my nemisis... no more! The graphite mounted marver always got too hot to touch and there wasn't enough surface area to rest my hand.
If anyone would like a copy of the flyer or more info, please email me or the folks at snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com
