[SEL] Need Oiler Sight Glass

[Steven N Kitto]

Bill
Another method of getting the glass to break is to heat it with a candle, 
and then use an ice cube to rapidly cool it, it will crack easily. I have 
cut bottles using this method.

As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man.
Proverbs 27:19

   >  Do the first one or you will surely fail:  ALWAYS have just a tiny 
drop of light oil ( I use 3 in 1 brand or anything similar.) on the cutter.
>  Next, more skill is applied.  We are going to make a tool: Imagine a 5

>   concentrate on the heavy wire bail use for carrying.  From that material 
> ( or something similar ) we will make a tapper.  We are going to tap the

> score made by the cutter.  Sooner or later a fracture will occur. If we
