Tungsten market: Tungsten City continued sluggish demand, tungsten smelter home production enthusiasm is not high, increasing discontinued, tungsten market prices relative chaos, the actual transaction continue to decline. Sodium tungstate market prices significantly confusion, manufacturers of low motivation, strong very price conscious, offer strong foreign near 110,000, then almost no downstream demand, continue to lower the actual transaction, expected late offer mainstream or continue to fall, the price will gradually move closer.

Tungsten steel scrap market is relatively stable this week, good material similar to the difference between the expected price, but the price the market is more confusing, the larger the price difference for the same product, imported scrap tungsten blade distribution market 153 yuan / kg have traded, but at the same factory 160 yuan / there kilograms receipt.

It is understood that domestic scrap tungsten blade mainstream market price of 150-155 yuan / kg, imported scrap tungsten blade (blade NC) Price mainstream concentrated in 153-160 yuan / kg, scrap tungsten drill mainstream market price of 154-160 yuan / kg in front of the price is a small price distribution market, followed by more than the price is factory price receipt. As mentioned above, we can see the blades of domestic and imported scrap tungsten blade spreads widened small tungsten waste and scrap tungsten drill blade import prices are almost the same.

Tungsten market: With the New Year approaching, the entire tungsten market funds tighter, weaker demand: one downstream tungsten smelter home unmarketable products, financial stress and reduce the demand for tungsten ore materials; on the other hand, part of the mine or hold stocks of traders to ease the financial difficulties, and take the goods relatively positive. Turnover is still deadlocked this week, next week is expected near the end of the year, the volume of cash or slightly increased, but the price is hard to better.

Scheelite week spot market transactions are still deadlocked, the purchaser continues to suppress the inquiry, tungsten ore deal has now inverted, tungsten ore price has been fully below 80,000 mark, cargo operators reluctant to sell darker mood, unless faced with funding problems. Near the end of next week, or slightly increased cash volume, but the price is hard to better.

With the New Year approaching, most of the mines shut down, most traders also suspended stocking more intense throughout the tungsten market funds, liquidity is worse, tungsten ore demand continues to weaken: one downstream tungsten smelter home unmarketable products, financial stress while reduce demand for raw materials tungsten ore; on the other hand, some mines or hold stocks of traders to alleviate the financial difficulties, and take the goods relatively positive.

Sodium tungstate market demand continues to slump, the market price is relatively chaotic, very price conscious of manufacturers, foreign offer more stability maintenance, and then take the goods practical difficulties, the actual transaction continue to decline, 96% sodium tungstate 10.4-11 yuan / ton price have on the market.

And with the new year approaching, this is the operating rate is not high sodium tungstate market, lower operating rates, according to incomplete statistics, there are less than 10% of sodium tungstate manufacturers continue to maintain production and to reduce their output. Analysis of the reasons are: ① As raw material prices continue to decline, the market price of sodium tungstate is also falling, manufacturers continue to compress margins, lower production enthusiasm; ② With the new year approaching, sodium tungstate manufacturers also like other manufacturers, tighter liquidity, unwilling to invest more money in the production, and even eager to return the funds to individual manufacturers have to go down a tentative price of goods, 96% of sodium tungstate market has traded 105,000 yuan / ton emergence; ③ downstream demand very little demand, the manufacturers of sodium tungstate difficult to take the goods, and many are still some inventory, manufacturers see attitude thick, multi-order production, production is not active.

Tungsten market: tungsten ore market continued sluggish demand, high-grade tungsten ore less market liquidity, so the price is relatively weaker, more circulation of 50-60 degrees tungsten ore, inquiry was substantially down, prices continue to fall, now close to the bottom , expected December ore price difficult to improve. Waste material grinding tungsten market demand is very poor, also difficult to take the goods, the buyer is more dominant, continue down the inquiry, December more reluctant to sell the sidelines looking in January demand breakthrough.

Tungsten alloy scrap steel manufacturers due to lower demand and there is a certain degree of difficulty and spot purchases increase, while a slight increase in prices. In particular, imports of scrap tungsten blades, scrap tungsten blade circulation relatively fast domestic traders take the goods no difficulty, scrap tungsten drill rises relatively small.

Meanwhile, pure tungsten tungsten scrap but difficult to take the goods, the price doldrums. Waste material grinding tungsten market demand is very poor, also difficult to take the goods, the buyer is more dominant, continue down the inquiry, then hold stocks in December and more reluctant to sell on the sidelines, looking forward to January demand or a breakthrough.

Tungsten ore market continued sluggish demand, fewer high-grade tungsten ore market demand, less circulation, so relatively few inquiries, suffered price suppression efforts are also relatively small, and therefore offer more national standard tungsten ore prices, the overall market price fluctuation is relatively small.

Ore prices continued lower, now close to the bottom part of the smelter at home there is still a small amount of idle funds purchase low tungsten mine, but reluctant to sell goods holders concentrated emotion, actual cash market transactions scarce. And 50-60 degrees tungsten ore more circulation, inquiry is greatly depressed, prices fell more obvious degree, has appeared 76,000 yuan / ton about 60 scheelite Inquiry on the market, is expected in December ore price hard to improve.

Mr. Marsolais demonstrated how the work is done. Using a Tungsten carbide tip, embedded in a steel shank, he angled the blade against the marble and gently tapped the end of the chisel with a dummy, or mallet. Slowly, what began as a scratch on the surface began to take form as an angled cut, called a V-cut. The work requires patience and a steady hand. Mistakes in stone cannot be corrected.

"It's a high-wire act," Mr. Marsolais said, describing the essentials of the trade: "A sharp chisel, a steady hand and a patient mind." He learned the essentials of letter carving in an apprenticeship at the John Stevens Shop in Newport, RI, a letter carving business that dates to 1705.



Mr. Marsolais, who grew up in Hudson, has a degree in creative writing from Naropa University in Boulder, Colo. But traditional publishing had little attraction for him. Letter press printing, the other facet of his business, allows him to design and create a variety of print products for customers who want something original, from wedding invitations to business cards.

He became immersed in letter press printing while at Zephyr Press, an independent press in Brookline, and later at Firefly Letterpress in Boston, where he worked for six years under the direction of operator John Kristensen.

His side of the workshop includes two massive letter press machines, including a 4,000-pound Colt's Armory Thomson, which dates to 1916. The type is handset, and the ink pressed on to the paper.

"With both crafts, I'm being asked to participate in some of the most meaningful events of a person's life," Mr. Marsolais said. The authentic result reflects the process: "Using real tools, achieving an honest result, for people who are interested."
