Re: [meteorite-list] Making Micromount MeteoritesHi Frank,

Thanks very much.

This is one of the things I like about this list. Different ways of =
doing the same thing and each one works for the individual collector.

I looked into those membrane boxes but I chose for stay with the 1 x 1 =
inch boxes with pads for several reasons. My main concern was what to =
do with all the membrane boxes? The 45 box storage case was readily =
available and I could not locate a similar trey in which to place the =
membrane boxes. Just out of curiosity, do you store or display the =
membrane cases in any type of medium or simply place them on a display =
shelf? =20

Also I do sacrifice viewing the bottom of the specimen but the bottom of =
the box makes a nice place to put the id lable. An alternative would be =
to have the id label unattached, beside the (boxed) specimen bu I don't =
like the idea of a "loose" label sitting beside the specimen as =
invariably they would get mixed up, a tleast in my house they would!

The only place I could figure out to place the label on the membrane box =
was to place it on the side of the box using an adhesive type label, =
which made it cumbersome when I wanted to take the specimen out of the =
box. Where do you place the id label?

Also, being the cheap person that I am, I can get 3 to 5 1 inch boxes =
for the cost of one membrane :-).

-Walter

  I'll second the kudos Walter, a great job.

  I'd like to add one comment though. I used to make nice labeled =
display boxes for my micros but am now changing them over to the small =
membrane boxes. I find that it allows me to double my viewing pleasure =
by having both sides to enjoy as well as protecting the specimen. With a =
small micro, doubling the viewing area can be quite significent and =
rewarding ;-)
  My 2 micros,
  Frank

      Hello Everyone,

      Okay, the server problem is now resolved and I am "back in =
business."

      As I stated yesterday, I have added a page to my site that =
basically shows how I go about making micromount meteorites for sale and =
trade. I have received a lot of questions along these lines lately, as =
a result of the free Sudburys I gave away about a week ago, which is =
really what I had intended (interest in micromounts, that is).


      -Walter
