custom iron stands??...like "Just Stands"

Just wondering if anyone knows of a source for custom, iron stands, like I so liked ordering from "Just Stands" before he retired?
He was trying to sell his business, so perhaps someone bought it. Or, if you know of another similar source.
Thanks,
Colleen

I'm interested in playing with some of the metal clays (bronze and copper), so I've downloaded lots of info. The object is placed in a covered, enclosed stainless still firing pan.

Re: more frit paintings

Thank you so much for the info. I've thought of searching out something like this.. Do you just stand the LED panel behind the work or are you able to conceal it in some way? If the pieces are displayed in front of natural light, do you still need the panels? Have you considered standing them on a f...

Re: more frit paintings

These are lovely. I tried to choose a favorite, but just can't choose between them. I would love to know about the LED panels. Do they require plugging in? What is a good source for these? What are the dimensions? Have you attached them to the glass or are they held in place by the stand...or ??? I ...

So, any suggestions for opals and others when cutting circles?

I, too, use Patty's method and have good luck with the cathedrals but difficulty with others.

Glue and/or epoxy for pendants

A short time ago I read a post here from someone who uses Future Glue Brush On and Epoxy obtained from A & A in a two step procedure for attaching pendants to silver bails. Now, I have ordered the products but searched and searched through the archives and can't find that post.
Any help? :?:

Paula's tutorial

Thanks Paula, I have read through twice and picked up some good info that I appreciate. Is the dishwash detergent that you use after grinding or sawing just a liquid dish soap or do you use a product for the dishwasher like Cascade?

Brad, thank you so very much for the suggestions and encouragement.
I'll keep trying and I can't wait for your new book.

Two subjects that I am hoping you will include are pot melts and powder wafers.
