Re: How to Fire Dichroic and Retain Colour
You may have already seen this about dichroic from A&A Products or others. There is a test strip near the bottom of the page. http://www.aaproducts.com/DICHROI-TECHNICAL-INFO.html You should expect the shift. If you want green, start with yellow. If you want light blue, start with pale green.......

Re: Drop with Dropring
Hi Jan. I primarily make jewelry, never any ring drops. Perhaps someone else can give you first-hand knowledge. If I understand your question about the layers, you must first fire all of the layers together before doing the drop. Otherwise, each glass will drop separately. Since the drop temperature...

Re: sanding edges of drilled holes
Check out Lopacki Diamonds and ebay seller LAU*** Both good sellers of diamond products. Barry Daniel Lopacki no longer sells drill bits. When I contacted him last year, he recommended LAU***, and I purchased from them. Their bits are good with lots of diamond, but the wire is so long that the 1mm ...

Re: sanding edges of drilled holes
Leila, one trick I use, recommended by a lapidarist, is to drill the first hole all the way through with a 1mm bit. Next, use a 2mm bit and drill about 60% through from the side which will be showing when the piece is finished. Then flip the piece over and drill about 60% through from the backside. ...

Replacement of Perfect Fire III Relays
The controller (Perfect Fire III) for my 20-year old Jen-Ken kiln (PFG-24-E, 240V) started giving errors when initially energized. I have replaced the elements several times in both the lid and the side, but the controller still had the original relays. The controller has two relays, and I successfu...

Re: Help- Deposit refund to customer?
Several years ago I was offered the opportunity to make a presentation to my wife's garden club. It was not only fun, but I also got two Odyssey lampshade jobs as well as several windows, all for very nice ladies. I would highly recommend that you embrace the chance to present your work to an intere...

Re: metal panels
We have a local commercial hvac company which has all metal fabrication equipment as well as sheets of various metals. They have sheared sheets of theirs for me in the past. I believe you are near Knoxville, so there should be several similar companies there.

Re: cremains pieces
Try to connect with funeral homes and see if they are interested in providing this option to clients. They already are marketing items like urns, so a piece of jewelry might also be of interest. Of course, you will then be in "business" and need samples, schedules for delivery, and sharing...

I don't see pendants in this thread. Only text. I wanna see pendants. Did I miss the class handout? I added the two photos back for you, Don. I thought the views were done, so I removed the images. I used to work for a company that paid nearly $1B in a settlement due to a comment hand-written on a ...

Hi Kevin. The background is the correct color and is not white. I compared the cabs to the picture, and, on my monitor, the colors look the same.

Re: New Pendant Cabochon
Thanks. The cab is 1 and 1/8 by 1 and 5/16. Here are some more that I made at the same time. All of them are the re-melting and enameling of some pins that did not sell well.

Re: Kirra Galleries closing
Did a show one time at a gallery where I was already represented and pieces were selling. They asked for additional work which I did just for them and shipped at my expense. The show finished without any new pieces selling, so they then returned the new work and all of my old work. A very fulfilling...

I put a cutter cozy on each handle of the nippers, and it helped reduce the pain considerably. You can purchase the cozy at many places.

Re: UPS Lost Supplies
Well, I got two calls from UPS tracking yesterday asking me if I ever got my package. I told them I had not and that I was going to refuse the shipment if it ever arrived since I already had a replacement order. Then, late yesterday afternoon the missing package suddenly appeared on my porch and it ...
