I was thinking something like this. A flameworkers/labglass blowers tool.

I am wondering if any of you have done the Lincoln City (Oregon) Glass Galore Art Fair in the past, and if so, if you have any opinions to offer about it. ASure have, Mark. We have been with them since the 2nd show and do very well. They just started a spring show as well and it also dod good. This...

Hi there I The mold looks a bit 'enclosed' ie two air holes in the centre but the edge of the plate has a rim of about one inch which sits on the kiln shelf and I wondered if perhaps the air couldn't escape. Best regards Linda I also would reccomend that you lift the mold up with stilts to get it o...

When i want loops on anything, I use the high fire wire and make a loop and anchor it between two pieces of glass. I use the PVA glue called PVA I've discussed previously. Even between translucents sheets, it burns completely away and does not leave any imprint. Anyway, I anchor the loop on the bot...

Why does the picture cover the text on my screen. Maybe I was sick the day we studied how to get the pix out of the way. Jack If you are using an older version of netscape that will happen. I used to have that problem with netscape 4.7. I just upograded to netscape 7.1 and all of thjose problems we...

Another thing that may be causing the problem is the blade may be worn more on one side than the other. This might be caused by a skewed table too, or just an old blade. Ron Thanks Ron. The problem as I see it is that the start and the end of the cut are exactly on the straight line that I draw on ...

Thank you so much, Randy. You did me a great favor, and probably several other people also.

I have a Chicago electric (harbor freight) tile saw that I have been using for some time now to cut small pieces of pattern bars. I just made a long (14 ") cut of a kiln shelf and found that the cut is bowed. looks like the rim of a very large circle. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix t...

Paul: Another technique you might want to consider is casting bllets in a box mold, creating a reverse felief. You would make a positive relief element in plaster and cast over it in a box. The method was taught and demonstratd by Ted Sawyer from Bullseye, and they now have a new TipSheet (#5) on t...

Hi Gang of Glass ! I just started glass fusing and I'm having a blast :) I tried to make a wall pocket using the kaiser-lee fiber board between two bullseye 90 glass the top piece was fired with a design before, then I used the board with part of it sticking out above about a 1/2" and made a s...

I've done alot of bottles in my old kiln but now that I have a larger one I wanted to try a BIG bottle. I tried a bar sized Grey Goose bottle that has the thick bottom and THOUGHT everything was ok, but the bottoms keep breaking off. The break is where the bottom flops over and is thicker. I'm sure...

Can anyone suggest a good kiln for melting glass in a crucible ? Something small...not too large..and electric. Any suggestions would help. Looking down the road.... Thanks a ton, Russ Hi Russ, There is a fellow up in Canada that has made some very nice electric crucible furnaces. He has made a cou...

The rule I was taught is you need two layers (3mm) for the first 2 inches of drop, then one additional layer for each additional 2 inches of drop. So for a 15 inch drop you would need nine layers of 3mm glass to ensure adequate wall thickness. Have fun. Paul That's right, Paul. Also, I would try a ...

Wire brush, or steel wool.

Thanks you people. You have given me something to think about and some avenues to explore.
