    Well Mona, no offense here, but you have just committed about
    sixteen sins that the normal "custom" shopper almost always does.
    You found it hard to find somebody that would work with the metal
    you want. Then you do find him, you do not trust him, and question
    whether or not he is on the level about what can and cannot be done.
    When dealing with unique and obscure metals it is perhaps best to
    let somebody who has dealt with said metals have a say in what is
    what. Honest. Did you know that Magnesium burns at 3,000 degrees and
    can be lit with a match? How about phosphorus having to be kept in
    water because it ignites when it comes in contact with Oxygen? It is
    a more large and more intricate world than it would appear at first
    glance.-L
