Ken Carder: And this is what I was just explaining a moment earlier. You see how Paul is holding the bottom stick, and there is glass on the end of it? That was the cylinder that came out of the graphite mold, and I don’t know, that might have been shaped just a little bit after, but it looks pretty close to the cylinder. And then more hot glasses is being applied to the bottom at that point.
