TMT- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - A lens cutter will cut circles from about 1/2" to about 6" depending on the lens cutter. It will not cut any size you wish. Score the circle, turn the glass over and gently press around the back side of the score to get it to "run". Turn the glass over and make several scores from the circle score outward and then break them off. You should get a nice clean cut edge. Give the group a little credit. I have been on this group for over 10 years...more like 15 actually. I've seen it dwindle to nothing and then rebound with so much use that one cannot keep up with it. It's the internet and just the way it is. |

TMT Also, I would think that the stage should have a hole in the center to avoid any distortion to the illuminating beam (even though it's glass). The best way to do that is to buy a diamond hole cutter (Harbor Freight junk, if you're doing only a few). Build a dam around the spot with clay, to maintain a pool of water inside, and bore away, using a drill press and a gentle touch. Violins! (as the French would say) Joe |

"Jman" wrote in message ... Glassman: "You can't complain about who's in office, if you don't vote. Make a few hundred posts a year like we do, and then you can be counted." I stand by what I said above. Whenever you take a dip into an ananonymous medium like this, you'll need a thick skin to survive. If you plunge into an NG that's new to you, and then criticize the members, of course you'll get roasted. You can't make up the rules of online citizenship. No one is obligated to welcome you or answer your question. If you get answers then good. If not, there's always google. The solution is very simple... just ignore or killfile those that offend you. If you're right and it's the same 1 or 2... how easy is that? Every NG that I've ever read has a core group that keeps it alive, plus a troll or 2 that makes it even livelier. This one is quite mild compared to others. -- JK Sinrod www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com |
