Sheet metal for slumping molds?
I am saving up for a bigger kiln & am lready planning out some projects & was wondering... I am using sheets of steel on my work table to protect them when I teach beadmaking. If I cut & made gentle bends in it is there any reason I could not use this material for slumping onto? I have a...

When I used the new bit I could see the channel as a cloudy ring around the cab because it ground into the clear. Am I doing something wrong? I have it placed as low as I can get it. Maybe I'm grinding too far in? I've only tried it on two cabs so I'll keep trying. Do I need to change the way I lay...

More dichro cabs
I know most of you do much more complex stuff. I am hoping to get a larger kiln by Christmas, (I can only fit a 6" shelf in my little Aim,) but here are some cabs I just finished wrapping -
I can't wait to try some big stuff!

Well, it was a 2 day class. 10 hours altogether. I am concentrating on just the one type of project for now as I basically took the class so I would be able to set my cabochons in a bezel. I think anything else at this point would be quite a strech for me but can't wait till I am finished my seasona...

I have found you will get different effects up or down but also depending on the colors you use. I realize that the problem could be dichro floating up and making a rough spot on the surface. If they do this, I'll grind them down, recover and fire again. Instead of grinding any dichro away why not j...
