'Serious' soldering iron - recommendations please ? by Adrian
HI Folks My usual weapon of choice is a temperature-controlled Weller 100W iron - which works very well for tiffany-style suncatchers, tealights and so on. Recently, I've been getting more commissions for copper-foil-based window / door panels - with correspondingly longer seams to be...

Email contact at Delphi ? by Adrian
HI All May be a little off topic - but does anybody have an effective email contact for Delphi ? What started out as a couple of small irritations (failure to apply discount, and what looks like overcharging on shipping) has grown to the stage that 'someone' further up the Management tree really...

Software for stained glass desing - recommendations ? by Adrian
HI All Until Christmas most of the stained glass work I've been doing has been smaller pieces (suncatcher-size) - either to one of my own designs or on the basis of 'what looks right from the 'scrap' bins. This year I've been a bit more proactive about selling my stained glass (and the fused...

Double-glazed units & stained glass ? by Adrian
HI Folks I've been asked about providing some 'double-glazed' units with my tiffany-style, copper-foiled, panels 'sandwiched' in-between. The local glazing company is very happy to do the 'sandwiching - reckons that he'll use two thin spacers between the float glass, and center my panel that...

looking for bevels in the UK..? by Adrian brentnall
HI All I'm looking for a specific bevel - in the UK. It's a diamond shape 126mm x 76mm - BUT it has to have a brilliant cut star on it. Anybody know who stocks these - or maybe has one 'lying about' that they wouldn't mind selling on. Thanks

Cold spots in kiln - usual or unusual ? by Adrian Brentnall
Hi All I've been using a little Paragon SC2 front-loading kiln for the last 6 weeks or so - mostly making small fused pendant pieces, dichro, earrings - that sort of thing. I'd noticed that not all of the pieces in each firing were fusing fully - and recently seem to have discovered that the 'bad'...

HI All Just wondered if anybody in the UK has a 'spare' kiln (suitable for a beginner in slumping / fusing etc) - that they want to get rid of .....? I was hoping for something with a digital controller - but pretty much anything considered - can't really afford a new kiln at the...

Stained glass panels and UPVC windows by Adrian Brentnall
Hi All I've made some simple stained glass panels (using copper foil) to fit 'inside' the individual panes of a wood-framed window - and fixed them using small copper loops and tiny screws, direct into the wood. I have an enquiry from a customer who wants some panels made to fit the small top...

reinforcing stained-glass panel by Adrian Brentnall
Hi all I'm making a stained-glass windo panel for our local Church. Nothing fancy - 4 square bevels and 2" strips of glass as a border and a simple geometrical design in the centre. The panel will be 30cm x 55cm - and will sit inside one pane of a wooden sash window. Question is - what sort of...

Hi All Fresh from my success with the big (to me!) stained glass window ... - the new project requires me to cut a hole out of a piece of 'art' glass. The hole needs to be circular - and in the region of 1" to 2.5" diameter... I have the Morton hole-cutter attachment - and have become reasonably

Spares for Glastar bench foiler ? by Adrian Brentnall
Hi All I have a Glastar bench foiler - seems like a useful piece of kit. It came with wheels for 7/32 & 3/16 foil - but it'd be much more use to me if I could run 7/32 on both sides (black-backed foil on once side & copper-backed on the other). Does anybody know where I can get a spare 7/32 wheel...

Starter kiln for warm glass by Adrian Brentnall
Hi All I'm thinking about starting some warm glass. Have been enjoying making & selling items by the Tiffany technique with copper foil etc - but like the idea of fusing / slumping - with possibly some enamelling on copper and possibly some beadwork. Any suggestions for a starter kiln ? - is it...

End-lit glass rod by Adrian Godwin
Hi all, I need to make a replacement for a decorative neon tube. It's about 3 feet long and has a series of simple bends in it. This is what the tube's supposed to look like : http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2396&picno=19551 (the colour should really be a bit more pink than that photo shows).

0.25" thick plate glass by Agkistrodon
I'm trying to cut a 75" long, 45" wide sheet of 0.25" plate glass to fit a frame 33"x67" for a map. I don't want to even start without some advice. What's a good way? Will a regular glass cutter wheel score deep enough? Thanks for the input. Agkistrodon
