Equipment for the enameling process. 


The steel block serves only to speed up the cooling of the metal. The additional components that surround the steel block serve as stands for holding the piece of metal with the enamel on top before it is placed inside the kiln. 
When inserting the stand into the kiln, the steel fork is used to grab hold of it and hold it in place. The metal is pressed with the grip pointed trowel to flatten the metal and to speed up cooling. 
Enamel and sift 

This is the enamel(powdered glass), varies in different colours. The sift is used to ensure no rough or any other form of hard particles are added onto the metal of the design going to be enameled.
