Re New Glass- mostly like the emperor's New Clothes, but then I'm a shallow person and don't understand that sort of thing.
Anyway, Susan's work stood out magnificently. Congratulations!

If you roll a gather in powder or frit and then pull it for cane or murrini, the color thins out too much. To keep the color, if the set-up is done on a blow pipe, the outer (cased) color can be added by dipping in a pot of molten colored glass, by rolling up a sheet, or by melting a blob of color o...

Unfortunately the IRS will only allow you to deduct your manufacturing costs, not the fair market value. I've been told that if it cost me $50 in materials and $50 in someone else's labor, that's all I can claim, not the extra $50 that I put into the piece. I'd assume that if I was an employee of my...

pb, hold the j
I wouldn't cap them, not with a solid piece anyway- too many bubbles. You could fire them on glass or just by themselves, they'll melt together and hold.

Ohira is the exception. That guy in Seattle doesn't.... Klaus doesn't hide the fact that he doesn't do his own roll-ups but doesn't have Scott and Kirstie sign the pieces either. I just started doing rollups with a glass blower- the first session was an experiment, we got some maybe's out of it. Aft...

I was told by someone in the diamond industry that warm water for coolant is not a good idea- shortens the tool life. It was in the middle of a wide ranging conversation and I never did get back to that topic. Any thoughts?

That preprogramme again! Blistering barnacles! Once you've fused a piece it has different requirements. If your original consisted of lots of little pieces, you could race afap up to a soak at 1000F or so. Now you've got a solid hunk of glass that will be subject to thermal shock if you try that. Fo...

another opinion
For 3/8" thickness I'd slow down to at most 150F dph on the way up. I slump at 1240 and hold for 30 to 45 min, but I'm working 1/2" thick. How fast does your kiln lose heat from 960 down? You might just be able to shut it after a 2 hr. anneal soak at 960. BTW I used to break speed limits o...
