Kay, according to the Smithsonian web the show ended Sunday April 27. :( Nikki, while looking up the shows dates for Kay I found that the Coleman that is is the show is listed on their web as Robert Don't know if Robert is on the Board, can't remember any of his post. I'm fairly new to the Board and...

Tony, Thanks for the information on the plotter. Sounds great but at the moment will have to put it on my art budget for the future. Wiring for the new kiln this month. Maybe I can find someone that has one and likes glass that I can try and work a trade. So glad "the Board" has knowledgea...

NOT FAMILIAR WITH A PLOTTER. WHAT DOES IT DO?
SOUNDS LIKE A FUN THING TO PLAY WITH. CAROLE....

Thanks Bert for the information. Me and my type 000000. Carole.

Does the scum show up when you are sawing or does it show up on the
fired piece ? What does it look like?
Thanks, Carole.....

I too, have found pricing is difficult to determine. A teacher once told the class if you don't charge enough for your work the customers want think your work is worth anything. That was good for moi
who tends to under price my work. Pricing come with experience, a lot of it. Carole.......s.c.

Please check the archives for the different kinds of weights for canopies a month or so ago. I never do a show without them....and still have my original heavy duty EZ UP canopy. But will get a dome type next due to water pooling on the top during rain. Save yourself a lot of grief, take weights . G...

SORRY STEPH MY MESSAGE MEANT FOR CHARLIE. CAROLE.....

Hey Steph, sorry to butt in, but I had a homemade tumbler which is the same principle as a mill. It had rubber drums turning on metal rods. I would guess you will need the two different surfaces so the container will not slip. Or maybe could your container may be too heavy for the size motor??? Try ...

Brian, Sorry I missed the website you referred me to. Had alway heard it called a lap. Have never used a lap but seen them work but guess the glass settles because the shape of your flat bottom container. By the motion, it tends to go to the bottom and it packs down. One shape tumbler is round and r...

Brian. Sorry I didn't answer your question. Guess Old-Timers is slipping in. I don't know what a rociprolap looks like. Need to see a picture to give you an good answer. Maybe I know it by a different name.

Carole....S.C.

Brian and Jenny, When I was in college some students made ceramic glazes in the ball mill. They used balls of porcelain. Probably could get them at the ceramic supply. Using them there would be no contamination. You came up with a good idea about making frit had never thought of that. Will have to t...

Paul to get the frosted look I used silicon carbide but can't read the size on the container probably 200 or 300 and used the vib. I was just trying to get a heavy frosted look was not seeking perfection. It takes several weeks but you need to BURB container every few days (tumblers everyday) . Take...

PAUL ARE YOU TRYING TO GET A HIGH POLISH OR ARE YOU TRYING FOR THE FROSTED BEACH GLASS LOOK ?
I HAVE BOTH ROTARY AND VIBRATORY BUT HAVE NOT DONE MUCH WITH GLASS. THE VIBRATORY WILL BE MUCH FASTER FOR WHATEVER. LET ME KNOW WHAT LOOK YOU ARE WORKING FOR AND WILL SEE IF I CAN HELP. CAROLE....S.C.
