Now that I have started having some fusing successes, I wanted to try drilling holes in the fused glass. I have my little dremel out and set up in a mini-drill press. Also, I probably have just about every diamond drill bit known to man...and still the fused glass breaks. I have had some success...

Today I finally moved all the random crap that's been clotting up my studio space, hauled my fusing kiln out of the basement, and am in the middle of the first fusing project I've done since we started construction in January. Just a bunch of cabochons, but you know, it feels nice. Now if I...

Hi all, I was just pondering the idea of "gurus" & I thought the following questions may hopefully make some interesting & entertaining discussion:) Including people in this newsgroup & others in the field, whom do you consider to be the present-day "gurus" in glass-craft? ...I mean the people...

I need some help choosing a glass grinder. I took some stained glass classes a while ago and started a fairly large project (it is a window with a geometric pattern) Since then the man who had the stained glass store moved and the store closed. Unfourtantly I was not able to buy a grinder from...

I've been thinking about switching kilns... Anybody got any feedback on the Evenheat Hot Shot or Skutt Hotstart or similar kilns? Who has the best prices? Does Olympic have anything similar to the two mentioned above?

Hello. Does anyone know what parts of a gas inspirator (venturi) primarily affect the fuel/air ratio? I've tried searching high and low for the answer to this and can't find it anywhere. It seems like a black art or something. See, what I'm doing is building a reproduction of a pest scaring...

I have been experimenting with 6 to 10 mil (0.006-0.010) thick mylar as a pattern. Since there is 0.02 clearance in the cutter wheel, I can get right next to the cutter wheel and get good support from the fairly ridgid maylar edge. I am using a thin point Sharpie to mark the pattern outlines on...

I am looking to buy colored frosted glass jars for candles. I was searching hours in the internet but couldnt find any that are colored. I bought some colored frosted tealight holders in target a while ago, but they dont have them anymore. They are really great and came in 6 different colors...

Have an existing door at a sea shore cottage. The owner wants an insert, (21" x 35") on the inside. As this involves grandkids running in and out with the usual "slam", what kind of strength would be needed for this kind of use? My thinking at present is to use copper foil with copper-plated...
