I'm in... now I have to figure how to do a piece with no sandblasting, no texture and bright colors.... hmmmm :-k Tony LOL tony, i just returned from a bead show, am so tired i can barely keep my eyes open or coordinate the fingers and this thread has now caught my attention - if you need color hol...

I am new to fusing. The last three pieces I have done, about 8x10 inches, have all had a rather large, rather annoying bubble in them. This is a bubble from under the bottom layer of glass. After doing the second piece, it crossed my mind that the bubble might be due to the kiln shelf itself. So th...

Hello, a week ago I did slump glass destined for Stained glass(producer unknown - transparant with some orange) with good result. Got courage with this result and I could buy (cheap) 2 plates of Armstrong, with colours I did like. Did fuse the plate with white and blue (2 layers), and for your info...

Dee, I bought and Oval 13 with 2 half shelves of mullite, each 20" long. Because of weight, if you want a full shelf, they sell you a shelf made of a softer material. It was not labeled as to what it was made of. It has more substance than fiber paper I've seen and is more porous than fiber bo...

Hi Brock, not sure that leveling is the problem because I have checked for that. Also it's as if one side the glass stays up and has these perfect little fluted edges and the rest just sinks in. Plus I had the very same problem in a different kiln. I do however love your idea about the "little...

I ordered a soft shelf with my new Jen-Ken. There's absolutely no mention of it in the materials that came with the kiln. Do I need to pre fire it before I use it? In one of my previous corporate incarnations I wrote owners manuals. I'm really amazed by what's omitted from kiln manuals and how many...

teaching is a 2 way street, the student will only get out of any class what the student is willing to put in but every instructor will have some great students. arno loves teaching but doesn't necessarily enjoy every class You said a mouthful! so assess way o' great white north glass guru D Hmmmm ....

Keep repeating.... with endless patience. 'Tis the hallmark of a good teacher. Patience is good, but it won't necessarily get your point across. If a teacher gives a demo, or a lecture, or merely tosses some pearls, and the whole class, but one, gets it, you know where you have to put some extra ef...

locking clamps - is this a specific type of clamp that if i go to home depot and ask they will know what i'm talking about? i'm not mechanically inclined ;P i will get some acrylic before the next time i cut again.... Anything will do, there are some that just have a powerful spring, and there are ...

My blade, (and motor) is at the back of the saw also. I just lean forward and push it through. I can't visualize the assembly at the moment, but you might be able to move the saw forward. The acrylic fence is just an (approx.) 4" by 11", 1/4" thick piece, I bummed off the prop maker ...

I think I have the saw you're referring to. The main problem I've found with all these saws, is the ridiculously under-engineered, aluminum fence. These fences are locked in place with a set screw. The screw quickly makes depressions in the stop, making it difficult to make fine adjustments. I have...

I'm thinking of taking a class. Can people who have experience with PMC comment on the plus and minus of usng the pmc with glass in general? I'm not looing for detail info on the difference between the different PMC's but the overall endeavor. :? Thanks! Terry O. hi terry, i'm doing some prototypin...

From time to time I ask for critique from this board, in spite of the obvious risks, because I have come to trust kiln crafters and value their opinion. Well, this is one of those requests. I have a new web site at http://www.angelantics.net which I've worker really hard on and would appreciate you...

The main difference will be the amount of air you need to produce to run the siphon blaster... IOW the siphon blaster can be an air hog. So, use the smallest diameter nozzle you can get for your siphon blaster and you'll be able to etch and do limited carving. The upgrade path is to buy a pressure ...

Getting bubbles in my fusing project. I am a new fuser and have successfully completed about 8 projects. The last 3 attempts to fuse have resulted in 1 or 2 golf ball size bubbles under the glass - not between the layers. I have an evenheat kiln with a 12 inch shelf. The piece is an 8 inch circle. ...

Dee .... Think you are right it is on Magazine Street . Is that not the Garden District ? I read about it a while back as I remember think they teach too.. It is quite a studio. Sure would be worth checking out. Carole..S.C. Oh! for some good shrimp creole or an oyster loaf (dressed). Coffee at Caf...

Someone is getting very tricky with viruses. Here's the scam and a warning...

Ok, I've been hanging out here this afternoon. I was reading the thread that Jackie started and then took a long look at the photographer's web site that Lani posted. The images on the photographer's site got me thinking, how did they envision these images. Then I thought about how I envision my wo...
