The Complete Victorian Opalescent Glass Price Guide, 8th edition, 2004, is now available on CD http://home.gwi.net/~inventor/download.html

Victorian GlassFest 2006 has just wound up and I want to thank all the participants that came from across Canada and the US and all the instructors that helped us make this event so much fun. It must have been worth the trip, because many of the participants have already registered for classes in...

What kind of ventilation should you have to do bead work? If I want to work in my basement will I have any issues? My basement is 60 x 32. about 1/3 of it is a woodworking shop and I have a metal working section (not very big I do most of my metal work outside at my forge).

The Folk Art Center in Valle Crucis North Carolina will give visitors an opportunity to explore the High Country's rich history of folk arts. What better place to do so than the 143-year-old Hard Taylor House? Area businessman Mike Hulbert leased the house with a vision: to establish a gallery and...

Howdy: I'm planning an experimental apparatus. The part that i am asking about here is a seal between a borosilicate chamber (with an inch or so diameter opening) and small diameter metal tube. The chamber will be evacuated by an adsorbent and may pull a very decent vacuum, I'm not sure how...

Hi folks, I plan on using some wood pieces (cut to the same thickness as glass) mixed in with regular glass pieces in some panels. Any ideas about whatever I can put on the wood so they'll stay untouched while cleaning and puttying. Something I can peel off when it's finished, maybe Mactac, some...

Has anyone here used a Titanium pen for electroforming on glass? Rather than reinventing the wheel on my own, I thought I'd ask here before jumping in. Thanks -- Tink www.blackswampglassworks.com

Hi I am starting work on a 5'x2' transom window using a combination of copper foil, lead came, rebar, and copper restrip. The transom is composed of 8 squares in two rows of 4, separated by mullions, and I am going to install it against the inside of an existing window. I am planning on using...

Is this possible? (instead of using the hacksaw for lots of came sawing or buying an expensive came miter saw? :-) Has anyone tried this, and what specific blade did you use for miter cuts on zinc came and/or rebar? TIA!

I've purchased some brass coated lead came and would appreciate any advice from those who have successfully used it. Questions I have now a - do I stretch it like normal lead came? - should I use my zinc came bender to bend it, or can I do it by hand? - what's the best way to cut it? - I have...

I have seen and understood what Uranium glass is, but never heard of Vaseline glass. Have visited the Fenton factory - just didn't see, hear, read or understand anything about Vaseline glass. Can someone enlighten me? -- Hal Keeney (dba) Eugene's Studio Stained Glass Artistry

I make furniture in wood and metal. Never worked glass before. There's a technique I'm keen to try which involves insetting "jewels" of glass into forged ironwork. You work the iron, hot-punch a hole into it maybe 1/2" across then fill it with a rough piece of scrap glass. Some work with an...

Hi All I am looking for a kiln for glass fusing but can not seem to find the sort that I have used before. Dose anybody know the name? The ones that seem to be available are top loading kilns. Where you have to reach in to put the items inside the kiln. The one I am looking for looks upside down it...

Greetings, All - I've recently seen samples of a zinc border came that I'd like to use, but I have no idea where it came from, who manufactures it, etc. Instead of the usual "U" shape, this zinc has a profile best described as a "2" with an elongated (almost 1/2") tail. The intended purpose is...

Dear conversationalists, I happened to get ownership for some streaky green drinkin glasses, presented in the following link. I wonder if you good people could tell something more of the model, since I dont know more than colour....
