Troch Question by Mark Russell
I just got interested in Glass working by reading through my daughter's bead magazine. There was an article on making beads from glass (lampwork I think is the term they used). I am an amateur blacksmith and was wondering if I could use an Oxy-Acetylene welding torch to do this work. I am also...

Tapping by Michael[_2_]
Back when glass was new I did a few stained glass windows. I used one of those generic green glass cutters with the ball on the end to tap the glass from behind and deepen the crack and break the glass. I remember doing that religiously. Now many moons later when I take up the craft again, I...

Repair Question by Moonraker
My YellowPages ad brings me a few calls each month from someone looking to have stemware and glassware (a la Waterford) repaired, as in smoothing over a chip on a rim of a glass, etc. I have no idea what technique might even be tried for something like this, or if it even can be done at all? ...

Copper foil. What the heck do you do with it? by Mike Beede
This is speaking of hot working. I've used silver leaf and silver foil, picked up on a bubble. Some extremely cool effects can occur. I picked up some copper leaf at the same time. What the heck--it was cheap. However, I've become convinced that it isn't really intended for hot working, since...

Commercial Glassblowers? by GOD
Do glassblowers who make simple glass parts exist? Like if I needed a plain glass bottle or jar of a certain size are there people who could make me just one or maybe two? I realize that the overhead for making single parts is pretty high but for simple stuff I imagine there must be some small...

Cleaning leaded panels by G^2
Does anyone have any creative methods of cleaning leaded panels after soldering and before putty? (large panels, not ones that can go in the sink) How clean is clean enough? Any long term problems with zinc chloride flux residue? Regards, G^2

Fusing/slumping/casting with kiln sitter by Gordon Watt
I've done a little bit of kilnwork before, but have never managed to get access to a kiln regularly. A friend has offered me a loan of her ceramics kiln (she mainly fires tiles) fitted with a kiln sitter. I appreciate that this isn't the ideal method of learning, but at present the possibility of...

Painting on glass by Dante Mincin
I plan to do screen printing on glass and wondering if all I need is a top heating kiln. I was looking at a Evenheat GT 22 on ebay with top heating and no controller for $850.00 and it had no use on it. Would this be a good direction to go in...11X17 would probably be the largest size I would...

commercial manufacture of lenses and mirrors by Allan Adler
I tried posting this on sci.astro and got no replies. Maybe this is a better place to ask. Books on amateur telescope making emphasize that machining lenses and mirrors is prone to produce astigmatism, whereas hand grinding lenses and mirrors tends to randomize errors and thereby avoid...

Problems slumping Bullseye Irrids by WillMore
I 've fused some larger irrids perfectly, but have ruined them slumping in Bullseye molds. The first , a round piece seemed to go down the sides first and ended up with a slight dimple at the very bottom. On reslumping, even though I had drilled another hole, the bubble grew. The second piece was...
