Jackie, I haven't checked but I'm not sure all of the angle grinders not designed to work in water will work that well. At a minimum you will want the rubber backer pads so you can use velcro attached diamond pads. Also be sure you are in a GFI electrical box and if not, get one of the GFI plug ada...

well, then I need to ask, why bother with the one that has the water feed in the first place? We have dozens of angle grinders around here - all sizes and configurations. Wouldn't I just be able to but the discs to fit from CRL and use one of these? BTW Amy, go look at Doug's tools, I'll bet he's go...

Hi Jackie, My blaster is loaded with 120 SiC. I'd heard the 220 is so fine it just goes everywhere and has a tendency to cloud the chamber more. I'm sure Tony is far better versed than me on this. I should be doing the piece next week so I'll probably want to snag a blast at that time. Another lunc...

ahh Brock, I was just wondering about that Pilchuck piece of yours. You must have been reading my mind. What did you end up doing? Doug and I were just talking about abrasive choices and their various uses. After our conversation I am about to switch over to SiC 220 rather than my Al Oxide, so Phil,...

Gee Phil, Maybe you should tell him to just draw something up, of course not based on your discussed designs in anyway, and you'll give him a quote based on that. Then if he would like a consultation with you for design assistance, you bill out at $150 and hour. I'm sure he'll understand that. In fa...

I was just thinking along the thinfire stuff. Yep, you can reuse the thicker stuff. I've got a box of the old thinfire which I'm trying to go through. I haven't tried the new stuff. It is suppose to not shrink which would be a good thing. Phil Hey Phil, If you want, I'll share a roll of new thinfir...

Heloise PS. How’s the boat party shaping up? Ahhh the big party on the boat . . . so exciting. \:D/ Actually, we are about at 18, unless some people have changed their minds, and the good part is, we are a really, really fun group so far. I'm expecting more, but I figured I'd give it a little mor...

Phil said: On the fiberpaper, yes you have to throw it out after you use it. That is why thinfire or Brads J110 is handy if you buy it in bulk the cost/fire is not too bad. I reuse my fiberpaper all the time, but maybe thats not what others do. If its the 1/8" I can use it at least 4 times, and...

Dani, you could be referring to Brock's infamous "anti-slump" which would be a slightly different and far more obscure phenomenon than the turned up corners. The anti-slump, by the way, has yet to be caught on film . . . is that right Brock? Or did you eventually get pictures? I've had the...

No, don't apply Spray A. The temp you'll bring that piece to won't mature the spray. Besides, if you want a satin finish, if you could mature the spray, it would only make it shine again. So, just bring it up to low slump temps, and that should do it.

I'm a jeweler and want to make some very small 3/4" drop molds in various shapes. I'm metal literate and since it is flat, cuts nicely I'm hoping I can make some outta silver, copper, or brass. I will kiln wash them before I put the glass on them. I choose these as I have them and tools that w...

That was the first year Lani. Last year it was an opportunity to be mistaken for a hooker while walking over to the connection in that outfit - and of course to swipe a Gerber Daisy from you Sheesh! Of course - how'd I ever mistake a streetwalker for a cat-fight? So, how do you intend to amuse us i...

OK, from private emails I can tell I've managed to confuse a few newcomers to the board. WHAT IS/WAS WG@BE? It was/is an annual competition/exhbition of kilnformed glass that that has been co-hosted by Bullseye Glass and Brad's Warm Glass board since 2001. You can read about how the last competitio...

Sheesh Lani! The minute I plan a party on a big boat you go and twist up my travel plans again . . . does Eddie-The-Crazy-Cat babysit?

Gil is selling some small molds at Fusion HQ - I saw them at my local distributor, and I'm sure you can get them on his site. He's a sponsor of the board, just click on his link above

I have to disagree. I didn't get involved in this thread when the topic came up last week, but I did share my opinion about the Gryphon on the old board. I'll do it again here, for those who may not have been reading the old board then. First, let me say that wire saws, any wire saw, will get fairly...

Geri, this reminds me of a funny story. In fact - it was my first experience with how glass "works". When I was 9 my aunt went to Sri Lanka and brought me home a batik, and she explained the process she had watched while the native women were making them. In my 9 year old mind, this sounde...

For those of you who sent me an email. I have sent out some information about the cruise. If you wish to join us, but have not sent me an email, please do so, so that I may send you important details. Thanks-

I'm so looking forward to our little extravaganza - what a fabulous day and night we have planned! I do have one small request however - even if you post a reply to me here on the board, please shoot me a quick email as well. I 'll need your email addresses to eventually forward you more information...
