i commissioned a steel artist to make a gate for my front courtyard. i had him design in various holes that i filled with mostly dichroic glass tiles. after dealing with slow artists (like that never happened to me), i've finally gotten it finished. http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RADdAj4TFHS5hd2qMH...

Hi, I have two questions. I just drilled my first holes in some cabochons. I made 20 holes before my drill bit gave out. These were mostly three layer cabochons. I drilled under water with them sitting on a sponge. I did not press exceedingly hard and removed the bit periodically to be sure water w...

hi, thanks to input from Brock, Avery and Barb awhile back i have finally chosen to get a skutt clamshell, and have an electician coming tomorrow to put in my 240 outlet for it!! i've heard from many folks that it is a good idea to paint the floor of the kiln with kiln wash, but spoke with Neil at ...

If the saw is up to spec...its an amazing tool. We use one 3-4 days a week with great result. We use the mk 215 blade...lasts about 6 months. The only caveat is that we refire all that we cut so minor chipping is not an issue. Also its good to sanblast cut edges before firing. Rick rick, is it the ...

I make Dichroic Glass Pendants. I fuse in about 9" loafs and then use a MK470 Tile Saw with a special glass blade to cut this loaf into smaller pieces. I have been using this saw for almost 2 years now. I have recently started experiencing problems with chipping and breaking. I replaced the bl...

We just sandblasted the hole- got a metal washer (with the same inside diam. as the hole) for a mask and blasted a narrow ring; the plug dropped out. Had to keep the angle of the blast consistent. It took about 10 to 15 minutes to go through 3/4" BE. marty, what type/abrasiveness of grit are y...

i have someone doing blasting for me since i dont have the setup. she has 120 alum oxide, and says my projects are too "hard" for this grit, and it's breaking down too quickly. i was surprised to learn that since she's blasting other kinds of glass for trophy work, like stuff for the Iron...

For several months now, I've been looking for a very specific earring display stand. I've done a number of different searches on the Internet and this is the closest thing I've been able to find for what I'm looking for. http://www.storefixtures2000.com/WireRacks/wire_jewelry_displayer.htm What I'd...

Absolutely everything we do comes back to haunt us. My solution is to no longer do anything. Those old threads sure were fun, though. ~Rocky that looks like a familair garage door behind you - musta been the twin to the one we had here until last year ;P bet you were a damn site warmer out there du...

. . . I was prowling in the archives and found the original bathrobe thread. http://www.warmglass.com/cgi-bin/wgarchive3.pl?read=4303 hey, checking out the results of the previous night's firing in bathrobe/sleep shirt/first clothing i can find near the bed has become a standard here ;) i remember ...

Sounds like a winner. You're gonna be selling it? Well, given that I have to buy 144 pieces, I have no choice. But I'll probably only sell it to folks in the US east of the Mississippi River. Bullseye carries it also, so with shipping so expensive anyone on the West Coast ought to buy from them. br...

Hey glass guardians out there! I've followed the discussion on finding a host for a website, now the obvious question: what is your favorite program for designing your own webpage and why? I've built my own site using Microsoft Home Publisher, but would like to do oh, so much more (and hopefully fu...

hello fellow fusing lovers, I would like to find a reasonably priced webhost, one that offers very nice templates, good service and the ability to have a shopping cart at a later date. There are sooo many out there- any of you using a host you are pleased with??? and thanks for being such a great g...

Here is a link with some pendants using Brock's technique. The effect may be more subtle than with dichro, but is very elegant. They are hard to photograph, and look richer and with more depth in person. Steve http://www.clearwaterglass.com/pendants_irid.htm steve, is that the brock special techniq...

As Dione mentioned, the new Taurus is coming out in mid-October. It's suppose to be to cut pattern bars. Judy i requested literature on the taurus 3 - looks good and has 3 different blades, is supposed to cut thicker glass tho' i would imagine there's a limit to the thickness, my supplier is suppos...

This is a piece that I kept under wraps until I could show it at WGW. As you can tell, it is the start of a series. Every aspect of this piece was sandblasted... at least 5 different sandblasting operations and two different micas. The names are the names of the named stars in the constellation Sco...
