This is a blatant commercial advertisement, seriously, I know of a piece of equipment, (Denver IB-30), that would ONLY be of use to a glass person. (as in all of you all), that the current owner(not me!) wants to sell. IF, and you notice those big letters, IF anyone has an interest, please post...

hi, I'm looking for small diameter (1.5mm) core drills for drilling fused glass and the like. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks, Derek

I have 2 lovely big old kilns, neither of which has an electronic temp controller. I use a simple pyrometer, and watch it like a hawk... shut off and on, open and close the lid etc etc. Question is should/could I buy an add on controller, or get a new kiln altogether? I do mostly slumping for lamp...

I'm trying to find a tecnique of glass painting (on beerglasses) that will stand up to the rigors of being handled. The first attempt was done using solvent- based glass paint. All seemed ok to start with, but after a while the paint began literally sliding off the glass as it was handled. Maybe...

I'm a furniture maker, wood and metal worker, and I know almost nothing about working glass. I'm designing a light fitting at the moment - a rectangular horizontal box with a shallow "pagoda" roof above it. It's to be wall mounted above a mirror. Construction is of foiled and soldered glass. ...

Would appreciate any information on sources for magnifying glass components. Google search has been futile. TIA Al

Have an existing door at a sea shore cottage. The owner wants an insert, (21" x 35") on the inside. As this involves grandkids running in and out with the usual "slam", what kind of strength would be needed for this kind of use? My thinking at present is to use copper foil with copper-plated...

Hi, Here's a question for the lamp makers out there. Exactly where is the beaded fringe suppose to be glued to the lamp shade. The fabric edge looks a bit large (checked out the fabric store today) for just the solder on the edge. Do people glue it to the glass? Seem like that would cause a...

why is it that wine-'experts' rather drink champagne from a crystal than from a plain glass (with the same shape)? Is it because - crystal shows the colour of the champagne better - crystal gives more bubbles - crystal gives a better 'ring' whit the toast Maybe more than one of these criteria is...

Can someone recommend a glass retailer in the Phoenix, AZ area? I recently moved to Tucson and am having a problem finding glass that I like for some windows I'm making. There are a couple of good places here but I can't seem to find the glass I want. Thought maybe there might be a place in...

A friend has a very old knick knack consisting of a water filled globe holding some imitation roses made of a waxy material. "Ball-O-Beauty" it was called. She opened it to make some minor repairs to the roses which had fallen from the stems. Before sealing it back up she was wondering what, if...
