Blasting lettering by glassman
I'm biding on a job that needs block letters etched into flashed glass for a memorial window. Any templates or clever shortcuts to do this, short of cutting out all the letters in resist? Maybe a computer driven outfit that does this? Years ago there used to be a company that sold dye cut block...

Brass or Bronze? by Liam
I usually use brass for rebar. My supplier told me he caries bronze bar as well. I don't know anything about bronze other than that the Greeks killed alot of people with it. Is it softer or more flexable than Brass?

surface texture of cast glass by lisanne
I am casting small (up to 10") sculptures using a 50-50 casting plaster & silica mix and clear bullseye cullet. I have experimented with various schedules but it seems no matter what I do, the surface of my pieces come out murkey and rough. Short of polishing, what can I do to get a smoother...

Getting Closer to bailing out by glassman
I have a nearby friendly basement competitor that may buy my business & building. He needs a new place, and the timing seems perfect. A few factors are my worsening arthritis. The state of the industry. The real estate market. I'm a bit young to retire this early, but I'm looking forward...

Some opinions please, maybe some advice by [email protected]
Hello all, I've been working with leaded glass for little over a year now and starting to get the hang of the technique. At least, I think do. I've made some quite different things, but I'm sort of looking for a style of my own. I know I like the ornaments and patterning of eastern...

First design using Glass Eye by Michael[_2_]
Hi everybody! Would appreciate your comments on this design, pro and con. I know I probably need to break the border up into smaller pieces. Other than that, what do you think? It is targeted for a transom-like window measuring around 20" x 44". If the link wraps, you might have to paste the...

Patina Issue.... by Jman
Hello there, I'm presently having a problem getting a that 'rich copper' color from my solder. I'm using the "Classique" brand Copper Patina (stuff is blue in the bottle). Anyway, the solder seems to be turning out a bit 'Pinker' than that nice glossy Copper Patina I often see in other's works....

Pattern generation? by Michael[_2_]
I've been playing with the Glass Eye pattern software. I'm interested in the various ways you all create your patterns. Do you use Glass Eye or some other software? Does anybody skip computers totally and do the whole process by hand? If you use a computer, do you print out a large pattern in...

Posting of Patterns and Pictures by Michael[_2_]
I've got some designs that I've put together using Glass Eye and I'd like to get some feedback on them. I haven't done it yet, but I assume there is a way that I can export it from Glass Eye as a JPG or GIF. I don't know where to put them, though. Can you folks recommend somewhere I can post a...

Stained Glass Software by Michael[_2_]
I have got several transom-shaped windows in my house. Stained glass windows to fit inside of them will be my first foray into stained glass. I am not much of an artist, but from all the pattern books I've found available, that shouldn't prove to be much problem. Choosing the proper glass to use...

Window reinforcement by Michael[_2_]
I've seen rigid metal reinforcement bars stretching across big windows. I've never used them but I know they are necessary sometimes. Can you recommend a source of information for how the bars are attached to a window? Also, I've been looking at several stained glass web sites, but I haven't...
