There are metallic gold and silver ones at this site.

That box Ron made is incredible. And how generous it was of him to share his techniques.

Great subject. I have had this problem too and was wondering how to solve it on some menorahs I made. I fused a second piece to match the curve that was about a half inch wide and glued it to the back hoping that the double thickness would help ... and it did ... but not enough to make a difference.

I have found that venting the kiln to 1000 degrees has helped.

I changed mine on my Jen-Ken and it was easy.

I have unslumped a plate with a giant bubble before .... so my thought would be yes.

Delphi Glass has them at a retail price. Item# 639122

I would listen to the advice above about getting a good blade. Money well spent.

The reviews at Home Depot were good for cutting tiles with this saw. No mention in the specs of the arbor size. Price is right.

Did you read the article that is linked above?

Aloha Bob,

Thanks for the advice. Appreciated. I always prefer to play it safe with tools.

I just got a new double curve mold from Bullseye and they recommended heating it to harden it

be the norm.

What kinds of wire work best? Can I strip some phone/electric wires?

Has anyone tried these menorah candle boots? They are a bit pricey but look very usable.

At one time I was the prez of our local rare fruit growers club and you would not believe the varieties of fruit that can be grown. Amazing stuff. Apple bananas are one of the many banana types that you can grow and seems to be one of the more popular. Egg fruit is a type of sapote.

Cynthia... you are very funny. Of course all fruit is "grown". But stay away from the GMO ones.

I have lived on the Big Island for over 40 years and rarely buy fruit that can be grown (Papaya being one of them) and they taste better than the store bought ones that were picked barely ripe. But it is hard to get a good peach or plum here. Safeway has some organic grapes that are delish but very ...

Thanks. I can always use a good belly laugh.

We had a show at a high end gated subdivision last week. Only sold one plate but made lots of good contacts for the future.
