I don't remember what the thread was, but someone mentioned that traditional leaded glass work appears to be in decline with a growing popularity in baking it. I got a Bullseye catalog today in the mail and the truth in that statement is verified by the emphasis in their catalog. Shake and...

When I first got my new grinder I was thrilled with it, but I've been having problems recently and I'm thinking about sending it back to the manufacturer. Yesterday I spent almost 20 minutes grinding on a piece and it was still too small. Michael

In my ongoing story of trying to sell my place, this is the latest. My buyer is still waiting for a financial deal to free up his downpayment money so we can close. In the meantime I rented him the back room, and access to the rest of my shop. Can you imagine what it's like for 2 SG...

For those of you out there that actually make some money from this silly craft, I want to know how all these price increases have afftected your square foot pricing for commission work? Lead was about $45 a case for years, now triple or more. Solder was $2/lb for 20 years, now quadrupled. Let's...

I've been interested in Tiffany lamps so I've been checking out a few books on his work. I notice one about a Tiffany exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Is that exhibit permanent or has it moved on to somewhere else? If permanent, has anyone seen it? If yes, is it cool? I've...

I've bought foil from two stained glass shops and one online store. They always come in a little plastic bag but with no manufacturer's name. One roll that I got seemed to have a lot of extra slices hanging off the foil, little edges that didn't get trimmed well when it was cut. That foil didn't...

No, nothing about the pet whipping boy. I was reading a review of one of Alastair Duncan's book and one of the reviews wasn't a review at all, but a comment that Duncan caught some heat by selling a stolen Tiffany window. I was skeptical. Does anybody know the story? Michael

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...

I've built several benches to do stained glass on. They aren't anything fancy, just built out of 2x4s and plywood. The work surfaces are 3/4" finish plywood. Before they get soaked in flux, sweat, and beer, is there a good finish to use for wood surfaces used for stained glass work? I'm sorta...

I'll be passing through Kokomo the end of this month, and I'm going to slide in and buy some glass. On my first visit to Kokomo a couple months back I didn't really know what kind of glass I wanted to buy, and I didn't want to buy glass on impulse without some forethought. Through the glass I've...

I finally made a better site. www.basglas.com I knew I had to do this when I realized I was reluctant to tell folks about my old one. I talked to one site designer, who was very helpful. But I decided I wanted an inexpensive site I could maintain myself. I went online and found a company...
