...........and is it the same process with solding ? What I understand it if I wanted to cut sheets of various colored glass I have to cut them into interconnectable shapes, then I would have to use lead to put between the shaped glass and use a torch to melt the lead in order to "glue" the...

Hi, what is the latest in controllers that are available. I need only for fusing, large kiln 2 ft x 4 ft inside. thks bg

This one is probably right up your alley Javahut: a while ago I had a busted window replaced and saved the old one. The glass on only one of the sides is broken, the other is still intact. It's a 3/4" no-frill thermopane (double glass, vinyl & aluminum frame). I'm wondering, why couldn't I make up...

Hi, I'm planing to build sunrom, wintergarden or etc... I have plan to have some dark wals maded from glass outside ( ISO 4 mm sand brushed float + 4 mm mirror ) and rigips / knauf and terwool inside. Mirror will be pointed to outsided glass - 4 mm float brushed with sand and I'm worry about...

I visited with a very nice lady at Southern Glass down here at Jacksonville a few days ago. They were using a perimeter spacer and adding a eighth-inch plate of glass to either side, making the panes a complete and energy-efficient window between outside and inside. Has anybody else done this? ...

It's been years since I purchased glass (i'm in the process of setting up a new studio over here in Western Turkey) I'm no longer living in the USA. and I don't know what things cost back there these days. I just found someone in the country selling glass sheets at about $45-55 a square...

I'm finding that the last couple of years my job volume has gone way down, but the job size has gone way up. Everytime I think I'm going to slit my wrists, a huge job falls in my lap. It's the in between time that's baffling. I just don't see the small repairs and commissions as much anymore. ...

Hey what's shakin' folks? Looking forward to hearing the latest on the industry, etc. I'm guessing prices are up up up, and the regulars are still hangin in there? Should I take my stimulous chack and invest it in lead rather than gold? LOL -- "When you win, nothing hurts".... Joe Namath JK...

My sense, after talking with people around the country, is that the stained glass retail store is quickly becoming extinct. A combination of things is to blame. Cheap lamp and panel imports from China, Korea, and Mexico was the start. Then it was mailorder & wholesalers selling to anyone. Now...

Hi Has anybody got a better method to crush glass to make frits? At the moment I am putting it between canvas and whacking it with a 21/2 pound hammer but the canvas does not last very long and I end up with bits of the cloth in the glass. Any ideas will be well appreciated. Thanks Joe

Hi folks, If there's anyone left to read this that is - thanks for answering all my questions over the years. Thanks to you I became a pretty good stained glass dude. Too bad it never took me anywheres income, or jobwise, although I did end up with a few nice pieces for myself. I'll probably keep...
