Also we're gonna use this guy too. . Same thing just different edges. Now obviously we're gonna use the torch and were gonna use this here frit tray. It's very convenient, very convenient. We're gonna have our kiln. Use our kiln today. That's it for what we have here on the workbench. Alright then, the rest of the equipment we're gonna use today, here is my grinder. It's the old diamond max here. We're gonna use this bit head right here. This goes "ploop" right on top there. Beyond that we are also going to use the frit maker which is some pretty heavy duty equipment. And I believe that is all the tools or materials that we will be using today.
