August 22, 200718 yr How I did it. I did try this once on some long lost sample pieces. I used some of those glass drop things that you can buy for fish bowls. I carefully busted them up practically into dust. I placed the workpiece on a piece of polished stainless, and filled the hole with the crushed up glass. **This was the tricky part** I used the welding tip on the oxy/acetylene torch and got a VERY neutral, very small flame. It took quite a bit of fiddling to get it to where it wouldn't blow the glass dust outta the hole. I slowly brought the glass up to a melting temp and gently packed it in with a shiny pein end of a ball pein hammer. It actually worked quite well. I had a few small cracks in the glass, but they kinda added to the look IMHO. Again, I only did this once, so I am no expert, but it's definitely something fun to try and to experiment with. -Aaron @ the SCF
