Bethany,
I have made 7 wall sconces for my home. They have been up for years and I have never had any problems with heat. Just be sure to use bulbs that are the proper wattage for the lamp unit.

Does anyone out there have the Evenheat GTS22?

If so I am interested in your feelings about it. I am researching kilns again. It appears to have the same size and shape as the Paragon,at half the price. I wondered how it compared. Any infor would be appreciated. Thanks. Susan

How to get a copywrite

I have just finished a drawing that I plan to use in my work. Do any of you have an idea of how I go about getting a copywrite on it?

I have gotten molds at a resturant supply houses. They have all kinds of stainless steel. My large floral former is really a vegatable bin like they use in cafeterias.

I have the Taurus ring saw. I hate it. Way too much maintance. I have spent more time and money on repairs than actual use. It has been is a cabinet for 3 years. I have thought about using it for soccer practice.

I bought stainless steele vegetable bins (like they use in cafeterias) at a resturant supply house. They work great. There is a ridge at the bottom, so you do not want your glass to form too tight at the edge. The resturant supply houses have been a pretty good source for ss molds.

The next week I had 5 people make the identical plate and leave it for me to fuse. I no longer leave my work where it can be seen by my students. They also come in a look a...

I am having a problem with my air brush

I have an aztec air brush and I can't seem to get it to work. It is clean. I am getting air but it won't pick up the mica from the container. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have tried varying the mix and using different tips and different containers.
