Re: Origami Mold Bad Slump
Thanks for the quick responses. Brad, as always I appreciate your expertise. I knew it looked challenging but with your input have decided it's not worth revisiting any time soon. I wish I had known about the plate version when I ordered that mold. And yes, I did get it on sale. I'll make more infor...

Origami Mold Bad Slump
Does anyone have experience slumping into the Origami Dish Mold (10" x 9.5" x 3.5"D)? My result does not resemble the mold at all. Just a funky shaped square. Plus, it moved off center. 292.jpg I'm using 2 layers of BE, prefused. I monitored the slump, waiting only for the corners to ...

Toyo TC-600 Oil Hand cutter clogged?
Hello all, Just did a search here and online but couldn't find anything on this: I have the above pistol grip cutter. The self-oiling mechanism isn't working. There's no oil coming out. Took off the head and cleaned it (with cutting oil). Spring is working, mechanism has been wiped down and will pus...

Re: Web Hosting
Thanks, Dana. I'll certainly make a note for future reference. At the moment, one of my domains is mapped to my site hosted at WordPress.com. No monthly fees, just the $13/yr charge for the mapping. I've got a good start and will stick with it for now. I'm using one of their free templates which I'v...

Re: Web Hosting
Terribly sorry for the long delay in response. Thank you, Morganica, for the detailed and very helpful post. I did decide to go with Wordpress.com and am currently learning the process by getting set up. And you're right-just building quality content is a challenge. But I must begin somewhere and......

Web Hosting
Hello everyone, I'm choosing my first web host and am looking at BlueHost. I'm planning to use WordPress for my site. I've just had an online chat with a BlueHost rep about their extra fee-services (SiteLock Domain Security and Site Backup Pro). Does anyone have experience with any of this? I'll be ...

Re: documentation/record keeping
Hi Al! I'm using your form for the first time now. Very slick. I, too, like the idea of having a place to record cost info. Of course, I've no idea how to do that. Also, when you can spare yet another minute would you be so kind as to indulge a question? At the risk of an eye-roll, I'd like the &quo...

I've been keeping firing logs and before/after digital photos. Does anyone have an easy method for organizing or referencing these handwritten notes with the digital photos?

Custom Molds for Thermoforming
Hello everyone, I have never made a mold but now think I might need to. So I have been searching the bulletin board and reading (e.g.“Warm Glass”, “Contemporary Fused Glass” among others). To say I need help and expert advice would be an understatement. I have been thermoforming sheet glass over fib...

Re: Sys 96 in "Sea Glass" color?
Yessir, I thought as much and appreciate your help. (The glacier blue is (according to my monitor) very elegant.)
Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without this forum and everyone's help. It is an isolating activity.
Best and I hope to connect again!

Thanks. That is gorgeous casting glass! But I haven't gotten into that aspect of kiln work just yet. Hope springs eternal!

Sys 96 in "Sea Glass" color?
So I'm using System 96 glass and they do a brilliant job of making crystal clear glass. But due to some of my initial works, which have the look of old factory window glass (no, not broken and dirty ;-) but with that certain tint), now I'm being asked frequently for "Sea Glass". Well, thos...
