Well, I tried to reply off line, but IE makes it so difficult to get rid of your NO SPAM, I gave up. You will have difficulty finding a way to work that small a quantity, especially if you literally want to melt from a batch recipe rather than cullet. A kilogram (2.2 pounds) is under half a liter...

I got a ring saw and when I'm foiling the glass the foil is not sticking to the cut glass, I have cleaned the glass with windox really good, what else can I do to get the foil to stick? The glass that I have cut and ground on my grinder is ok the foil sticks to it. It's just the glass I cut with...

Is it possible to cut glass so straight and flat that when you slide the glass in parallel that you cannot see the seems. I am building a magician's prop and I need to cut glass so that when I slide them pass each other the seems will fit so precisely that they can become invisible. The...

Last week I posted a question regarding a diamond beveled pattern insert I am making for my entry door. The insert will measure approximately 20" X 60" and is primarily 4" x 7" beveled diamonds. I originally planned to place the insert between two sheets of tempered glass. Several folks scoffed at...

Hi, I had several sources for glass tubes for making elements but lost my hardrive. - need also good source for mulite rods. - glass tubes for making elements - ANY GOOD THIRD PARTY CONTROLLERS

Yep, I said it.... As a matter of fact, it had to be said. Most of the people on this newgroup seem not willing to participate because of a handful of people's (I'm not excluding myself here either folks...) willingness to be as pompous and self rightous as possible. The traffic that this NG...

Here are some pics of my moly furnace for Jack and whoever else. You can see my two fuji's there, the lower is the overtemp. and the panel meter and the transformer back behind. The scr is in the front box. The door kill is a cheap Grainger snap action switch. This turns out to be quite less hard...

Greetings, I am retiring from the stained glass business due to age and health reasons. I am looking to sell my collection of vintage Chicago Art glass. I worked for their studio for years and was often paid in glass instead of money. When they went out of business about 1987 I bought all I...

I am looking for some books by Debra & Steven Toi. They were published a few years ago. They are for stained-glass sculptural art and came with molds. I have just recently been made aware of them, and would love to get a hold of them to work with my mini-kiln. Any help would be appreciated. Annie

I'm just starting to collect this glass and would like to chat with others. Thanks -- www.ratrodz.co.uk XJ900 Trike GS850 Trike

AS this is the only group of people POSSIBLY interested in making use of this stuff, I am making you aware of this MATERIAL used in CREATING glass art... If there are beadmakers here? Yeah right! or warm glass people that may have an interest.... I have about 300 lbs, yup acquired by default,...

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...

I'm looking for Fiberfrax (or similar) boards and insulating firebricks (the soft, lightweight kind) for building a temporary, reconfigurable forge. I've tried a couple of local brick suppliers and have been going through some Google hits with no luck so far. Does anyone know of a supplier for...

I need to make a heated (150 degrees F.) glass platen to use for blending encaustic wax medium. The size if 20" X 24" and the glass could be from 1/4" - 1/2" thick and is supported fully from the underneath side. I've tried to do this with hot air guns and heating lamps and busted the glass (3/8"...

There is another message board, Craftweb, where I had a recent dispute with the moderator. The moderator posted some accusations and then didn't allow me to respond. If anyone has been in that position, you know how frustrating that is. In fact, he reffered to this as, "a foul mouthed rant". I...

There are lots of books on how to use a wood lathe or a metal working lathe. I don't know of any book on how to use a glass working lathe. Are there any, even if out of print, and if so can someone mention a few of them. -- Ignorantly, Allan Adler * Disclaimer: I am a guest...

Hi All, New to stained glass and the group and I've got some questions. I'm working on a project - actually copper foil - that I am also adding some copper sheeting mixed in with the glass. In the end I'd like to patina the solder and copper and get the same finish. I've had some tell me that...

And now for something completely different: I dismantled a washing machine last week with the vague idea of making a polishing disk from it. Has anybody done this before, and are there any caveats? The general idea is to throw away the inner and outer drum, but keep the assemblage on which the...

offering for your consideration, viewing and reading pleasure, and hopefully your hugely generous cash offer are my ten VERY old, VERY heavy duty _true_ industrial duty hand glass beveling machines. I've finally reposted my "old" website, with some minor...

I have a hollow glass head from Pier 1. I was originally going to mosaic it and turn it into a table lamp. But I have been thinking (belatedly) that there is no air holes for the heat to escape. I thought about drilling holes in the top of the head but that is where the glass is thickest...
