I have a 370 and I used the stew out of it.......but, it is LOUD and it has trouble cutting the bigger, heavier slabs that I work with now. It can do it, but it is much easier on the MK-100 that I have now as well. ANd, the noise reduction from one to the other is uncanny. Get some ear plugs if you ...

I have a project that I am working on that needs to be 3" wide. The top, unfired part is only 2 and 1/4" wide and 1/4" thick. So, how much base glass needs to go under it to get it to spread to at least 3" wide? It doesn't matter if it goes over 3" wide, it just needs to be...

v1 = v2 v1 = 3" ** 2 * .25" v2 = 2.25 ** 2 * .25 + (x ** 2 * .125) solve for x Hi Charlie- I am not sure if I speak your language here. Are you using the double asterisk to denote, to the power of? And what are you solving for with "x", the number of layers of glass or the actua...

I've been working under the (apparently mistaken) assumption that glass was no longer susceptible to thermal shock above about 1,000 degrees. I just re-fired a piece (about 1/2 inch thick, 1.5 x 1 foot, multiple colors, with tack fused elements) with the following, 88-hour schedule, only to find a ...

would it enhance the value of the pieces for them to be in this exhibition? if so, the gallery would probably go along with your request to borrow them back for the show. lots of good artwork has a resume of where it has been shown, or who owned it. But what if you "borrowed" it for the s...

Sounds like the mold thermal shocked. A lot of my molds come with a little note saying not to heat at more than 250dph. If you heated it afap to 500, that might be your culprit.

a water-pic with distilled water, so you don't get trapped mineral deposits. Then, tump and dump water, air dry and fill with frit.

Don't hold your breath, Chip :lol: After much consideration, I have decided that I am far too white at this time of year to show any more skin than is necessary :shock: Plus, there seem to be more than enough brave naked folks out there sending in shots. The pic that I sent will have to suffice and ...

1/32" thick fiberpaper.

Hey Marty, have you tried using thinfire on it? I just got 3 boards from Brad and don't have the skinny fiber paper. Is there some reason not to use thinfire? Don't want to ruin my new kiln shelves....

Nadine, I got a large custom made Scoreboard from the folks that make them and it is great. It accomodates a whole sheet of BE which can be stripped in about 10 minutes using your own cutter. It is just a base board with a set bar at the bottom and a raised perpendicular bar that the glass slides u...

Lisa sounds good but who makes them? Here is the addess for the folks who make them. THey come in a standard size that is fairly small for my purposes, but were happy to make one to my specs. Talk to Mark and tell him Lisa Allen in Memphis referred you. http://www.emeraldrainbow-wedgies.com/scorebo...

You can also put sharpie marks where you want the stringers, then take a dremel with a diamond tipped bit to make little channels.

I was thinking that it might be a good idea for those of us in the calender to donate something to the costs of making it as well. I haven't a clue how expensive it is, but giving away 24 or more copies to those in it is a good chunk, especially if not enough sell to cover costs. Just a thought. I s...

Just curious if you remove the belts when you are done using the sander?

Yeah, when I am done with the machine I always remove the belt.

Jim The GL4W sander is the one made by Bee Metals of Canada, this is "the sander". If you have ever used one there is a big difference between it and the 2200. Ron, I have used both and really don't notice a big difference? On the 2200 you have to turn the spring tension knob a bunch of t...

It is time for me to get serious about getting a large wbs. CRLaurence has the models discussed in the previous threads...the GL4W model (4"x106") at CRL has not been mentioned and looks interesting. I have only used much smaller Covingtons and need some advice. 1. is a built-in roller pl...

Randy, I had some similar problems with my pattern bar pieces mixing transparents and opaques. For Bullseye, the specific annealing point for transparents is 990 and for opaques it is 935. To accomodat both, I started holding at 1000 for an hour to try to get the temp of the glass regulated before I...

I'm with Amy, makes me wish I was Jewish! They are gorgeous and surprise, surprise, I like the colorful ones the best. Menorah or not, I think they would look fabulous decorating anyone's home. Or maybe that would diminish their significance.....I am not very familiar with Judaism.
