This probably wont be spaced out properly, but I figured I would try it anyway.

The second "infinite obsidian with one bucket" can be better explain like this: X - represents empty space O - represents lava [#] - dirt square On one level of dirt dig 4 squares out:   [1]XXXX[2] have water 1 square down and to the right of dirt square 2, the amount of water doesnt really matter, the lava tends to stop spreading after 5-12 obsidian is created. Place lava in one of the empty spaces between dirt square 1 and 2, now re-gather the lava with a bucket(this will take only a portion of what is now occupying the XXXX) Remove dirt square 2. Dig out resulting Obsidian. Repeat.
