Honesty in Applying to Shows
Ok Sages. Here is what happened. When I apply to shows, I send in slides of unique bowls or clocks, or vases. It is all fused glass basically using the same techniques, styles etc. At shows, I rarely sell any of those beautiful pieces which are priced in the 100 - 300 range. Probably 90% of what I s...

Tile cutters
There are the $4-500 ones that look like a wet radial arm saw, then the >$100 ones that look like a table saw. Beyond the obvious durability issues, do they work equally well?
Looks like I'm headed back to Home Depot again . . .

Edge Hazing when slumping BE w/Uroboros clear cap
I have been making thick plates (2-4 layers) of bullseye using a clear cap of 90 Uroboros. They are clear and shiny when fused as a flat plate, but when slumped develop a haze along the 1 to 1.5 inch outside margin. I usually ramp at 600 dph but have gone as low as 400 dph with the same result. Any ...
