ack - you all beat me to it!

As a Brit living in the US I just felt compelled to answer this question!

Lol,

Sadie

I know I'm quite behind in this discussion but thought I would add what little knowledge I have to the mix ... Robyn, I use diamond tipped burs - they come in a wide variety of shapes from points to balls and straight cylinders, and I grind off the irid finish that way. It's a simple and effective p...

Hi there, I just went with a similar situation myself - although I was a co-op member - you did mention it was a co-op and sometimes these places are run on a very touchy feely type approach. I first made sure I was accepted into another gallery (also co-op), and was selling well. I then approached ...

Please count me in too - also willing to pay whatever it reasonably takes to get a copy (well, I'm not that rich)!

Sadie

Oh I wish that I had the chance and money to go too... one day ... I'll just have to sell lots and save more!

Sadie

OK ... think I've made another fool of myself <grin> - no need to explain a bong!

(The light just went on) ...

"Same friend used to wire wrap glass bottles and adorn them with beads. At one show someone came up to her booth, picked up an elaborate bottle and announced that it would make an excellent "bong". My friend's mother overheard this comment and was horrified. My friend secretly agreed ...

That's the result of a short metalworking lesson - all I can say is Wow! You must be a very fast learner!

HI Barbara, It's probably too late to be of any help, but my Skutt manual says Err 4 - Program ramping down and temperature more than 50 degrees above last hold temperature. Error must persist for more than 18 seconds before the error is triggered. I have a small Skutt kiln but I thin the glassmaste...

Thanks Alan,

I'll try Craftweb as well as his glassworks to see what they say.

Ok ... it's time to sharpen my mk 215 gl blade on my tile saw. In the archives Dee (?) says to use a silicon carbide dressing stick and just slice a piece off when you need to sharpen it. I have a silicon carbide sharpening stone that I bought to do the job. Is it the same thing? Or is the dressing ...

Yes, that's what I did ... Took my new handy dandy MK tile saw and cut up a kiln shelf to make some 8" strips for a dam. I then kiln washed the strips and lined them with fiber paper to make doubly sure. I then loaded all my bullseye scrap into the resulting 2" wide and 8" long box. B...

Hi Dani,

I presume that's the Nolo press?

Do you have a link ? Sounds ideal for a dummie like me!

Sadie

If you have a husband rather than a wife, then it would be easier.

Not if you have my husband!

I'm the tool/gadget freak in our house - lol

I tried to get caught up in the Aztec sale too, only my Michaels only stocked Badgers ... not an Aztec in sight .... booo hooo, now I'll just have to get one from Brad!

Sadie

Oh my gosh - my mind is all over the place on this topic! How very fascinating ... Where to begin ... (and much of this may end up contradictory in nature) ... Background first - I originally trained (went to Art college - is that training?) as a fashion textile designer and worked in the field for ...

Thanks Mark,

Looks like a good deal - free shipping, you can't beat that!

Sadie

mark, Sorry, not an answer to your question, but I've been looking for a good price on an MK (the 100) ... the best I've seen so far is ToolsDirect ... however, for the 370 the builders resource price is lower. Do you have a web address for builders resource? I looked but there was nothing specific....

Quite beautiful ... the leaf and ripples are so realistic ... can't wait to see more on the same theme - perhaps you'll be able to let go of the other babies ...

Pendant backs for fused cabs (like those at austin blue moon) are so easy to make for yourself with the minimum of equipment. Rio Grande sells sterling silver strip that you can can wrap one end around a dowel or other suitable mandrel type item, and cut to length. Make sure you buy the metal soften...
