wedging table wire

updated fri 31 jan 97

 

Jonathan Kaplan on wed 15 jan 97

Piano wire is available in many difference diameters or gauges from
McMaster Carr Supply in Chicago.
BTW, I have used plaster as a wedging table surface for as long as I can
remember. In fact, I also use the same arrangement for my classes. When
given the proper information about how to use the surface and what can and
cannot be used on a plaster surface, this material is quite
indestructable. But I think that from the get go, fear of plaster is what
really should be the issue, and the second issue is its proper proportions
for mix, by using a volume/mix calculator.

BTW, again, I am thinking of hosting a plaster and mold workshop this
summer at my plant here in Colorado. I am wondering in there is any
interest from the list.
