It's 50-ish and rain here too. The only snow is the remnants of the 3 ft deep snowbanks from the snows we had earlier in the month... no great loss. I can live without the snow and the slush... even on Christmas... not very sentimental I guess. No new glass or glass toys for Christmas... I'm gonna h...

Re: Sterling Silver Rings

Recently I purchased a dozen of Jim Berry's sterling silver rings onto which you can attach a cab. Question: Those of you who are also making these rings, what type of epoxy are you using? :?: I've made up about 6 just to see how the two-part epoxy I'm using is going to hold up. I'd hate to take th...

For your purposes, you can "get away with" a 25 to 30 gallon compressor in the 3 to 5 HP range. If you have a pressure pot, that setup should be adequate for a long time. With a siphon blaster, it will be usable but marginal (it will run a lot) because of the higher air pressure/volume de...

Re: A different credit question

Hi All, Just finished my last show of the season this weekend! I felt so free until Andrea, my wet-blanket-14-year-old, suggested I see this as a job loss! Anyway, my question is; how long do you hang on to your credit receipts? I can't imagine a chargeback after more than a month or two, but I'd r...

Re: Anyone have experience with combing?

I tried to comb some hot glass a few minutes ago. It did not work as I had hoped, and I have a burned finger as a result. I let the glass get to a red hot molten state, and then put on my safety glasses and a heat glove, and went after the glass with an old unbent coathanger. (pretty primitive, I k...
