My sense, after talking with people around the country, is that the stained glass retail store is quickly becoming extinct. A combination of things is to blame. Cheap lamp and panel imports from China, Korea, and Mexico was the start. Then it was mailorder & wholesalers selling to anyone. Now...

I respect your right to lurk, but if each of you would try and become just a tad more out of the closet, just think of how much more fun this place would be. Try one post, or better yet one thread start, or one question. This board is really drying up, and that's the primary reason for the...

Hi everyone! Have been playing with my new kiln and LOVING it!!! Thinking about pre-emptively buying stock in the electric company to recoup some of my costs in running the thing day and night. But aside from the fact that glass will be making me a pauper in short order, working with warm glass...

Does anyone know the COE of Kokomo Stained Glass? I have called and emailed this company a couple times with no answers. Every other glass company has been a tremendous help, but not Kokomo. Any help would be appreciated! :) -- Janet

We have seen a web page with information about how to build a stained glass storage cabinet by adding metal strapping as dividers, but (of course) are unable to find the page again. The general idea is simple enough that we can probably figure out how to do it. But the article had some tips...

Hi all, I'm new to stained glass. Ok, that probably lost 90% of you but sometimes you just have to be new. I've been lurking, and rarely, posting here for the past month or so. I am considering working with lead free solder and am looking for a site that lists solder properties. What I want to...

I have an AIM 84BD with a Fuji PXV-3 ramp/soak control. I've had it for about 3.5 years. It has suddenly turned on me! First it began (about 2 firings ago) to briefly buzz (like a door buzzer) for about 4-6 seconds when it kicked into heat cycle to maintain 1500F. Since it did it's think ok,...

Well, I tried to reply off line, but IE makes it so difficult to get rid of your NO SPAM, I gave up. You will have difficulty finding a way to work that small a quantity, especially if you literally want to melt from a batch recipe rather than cullet. A kilogram (2.2 pounds) is under half a liter...

I'm looking for a spring loaded cutter to put on a cnc gantry machine. I could use a pneumatic actuator to apply the correct pressure but I'm looking for simple. Is 15 psig the correct pressure for most stained glass? Also, can I use my engraving head to cause the fissures by just cutting too deep?
