cutting surface by
Terra
I'm looking at a table made of a sheet of plywood for cutting on, 1"
thick and very hard, but I've been offered a formica bar countertop. It's
hard and smooth, plus even the smallest flakes and shards will come off
cleanly.
What are you guys using?

Running pliers by
Moonraker
I've been doing some small, pretty delicate stuff recently.
My running pliers have a jaw width of about 1" or more. I'd like to find
some runners with a much narrower nose, maybe 1/2" to 5/8". I've been
using some ring jaw pliers with some success, but got to wondering if there
were some...

Cutting a demi john by
Anth
Hi
I have a glass Demi-John, I need to cut the bottom off to make a bell jar
piece of equipment for experiments.
Some techniques scour the glass and then use a heated wire to shatter
across the score.
I have seen other methods such as filling the bottle with oil and inserting
a hot piece of metal,...

My husband and I are remodeling a 1948 home. All of the windows are
the old double hung type. We actually like the look of these windows

Glue for Jewelry - At my wit's end... by
[email protected]
Hey,
I have been attempting to glue silver bails to fused glass and I have
had nothing but problems...
Tried superglue... got brittle and they basically fell off.
Tried Goop... got rubbery and they basically slid off.
Tried 2 part epoxy... seemed good, but even the slightest 'torque'
pressure...

kiln trouble AIM 84BD with Fuji controller by
kellyK
I have an AIM 84BD with a Fuji PXV-3 ramp/soak control. I've had it for
about 3.5 years. It has suddenly turned on me! First it began (about 2
firings ago) to briefly buzz (like a door buzzer) for about 4-6 seconds when
it kicked into heat cycle to maintain 1500F. Since it did it's think ok,...

Moonraker by
nJb
I see you're still posting. The news here shows your area as getting
buku tornados. Is that correct? Looked like the whole state was in the
tornado area of the hurricane. How about a "man on the scene" report.
Anybody else here in the beaten zone? Looked pretty bad. One bad ass
hurricane.

Flashed Glass by
Harold E. Keeney \(Hal\)
Anybody know who handles Flashed Glass?
Specifically I'm interested in getting a white opal
with a flashed cobalt blue top surface, for doing
a sandblasted item. Never done it before, but I
can't resist the possibility of an order for 2500!
Any comments welcomed.

dangers of lead by
kasfam
I have done some reading on lead solder and lead came. Some material is very
subtle, mentioning to clean the area well and wash your hands after use.
Other material I read puts fear into me, I am now leary of any small cut I
have. I have been doing soldering in my kitchen and they also mention not...

Came vs Foil by
Walrus
I've been reading about, but never done stained glass. One question
I've had is when do you use came and when foil? What's the criteria
that you use to choose which?
