Re: refusing a bowl
It may look ok at the moment but it is only tacked together at 1350 and will probably crack eventually.

Re: Workbench?
I would use a whole sheet of wood for the top which would be 4 ' by 8' if you have the room. (don't they always say bigger is better ) The height would depend somewhat on how tall you are......

Re: Fused disk = what would you do??
Eryc..... First.....you will always have a "matt" surface that is on the back of your glass when you use shelf paper. I noticed on the side view of your glass it seems to have a sharp edge. Before you slump you need to use a grinder with a fine bit to get those scratched minimized and soft...

Re: Display panels for show
