Hi All, have been having trouble finding out how to melt crushed bottles. I have crushed some and put a pile of glass in my kiln but have not figured out a proper way or schedule to just make a puddle of glass.

Tile Saw

Hi All, Been staring at the tile saws in Home Depot every time I walk in. Should I just by one of them & do I need a special blade for cutting glass instead of tile? Thanks You'All.

Was wondering if I need to grind & then polish by hand (as I don't have a wet belt sander), or if a wine bottle (1.5 Liter Clear) cut w/bottle cutter can be fired (to round the top drinking rim) to use as drinking glasses. If firing is possible maybe a guess of a firing schedule? Thank you'all f...

3 yrs. ago I bought the Diamond Max also for the disc & it has been very good for me even though I use the head more than the disc. Bought it at Delphi as the first order was 20% off. They still have the coupon in the catalogs or just ask for the first time discount, if they still do that. Belie...
