She's only heating the mandrel once for every five beads and once the rod is hot and rockin'... It's not like she's heating up the mandrel and rod for one bead, putting that one in the kiln and then going to the next mandrel, heating it up, then heating the rod back up and making the bead and putting that in the kiln and on and on. |
you did your math backwards
- it's more like 30 seconds a bead.
I'd pay a dollar to see that.
