new online glass tools

I've added three free glass artist tools to my site
(www.GlassFacts.Info) for those who are interested.

Firing Schedule Worksheet
-------------------------
This Excel worksheet lets you enter kiln ramp and hold times and it
will tell you when you'll reach the specified temps, if the requested
ramp rate exceeds the kiln's capabilities (up or down / customizable
for your kiln), and how long the entire schedule will take to fire.
Downloadable for free.

Glass Casting Calculator
------------------------
Provide the volume of the casting (in cubic inches, cubic cm, grams
water, or ounces water) and the calculator will tell you the required
weight of glass needed to charge the mold - for soda-lime, boro and
Gaffer casting.

Pot Melt Calculator
-------------------
For those who like to do pot drops (aperture melts, etc.), this
calculator lets you provide two of the following and will solve for the
third: diameter (or circumference), thickness, weight. Useful for
determining how much glass is needed to create a desired final sized
blank.

You can get to them he http://www.GlassFacts.Info

Click the "Site Map" button -- the items are listed under "Free glass
artist tools".

All are free - enjoy

Paul did you realize that your handle reads, 'goo..@izm' ? A thought
occurs; you place solicitations so regularly you may want to change
that to something less reminiscent of... um, bodily fluids. Then again,
its the hit count you're after, right? So maybe make it, Big Butts and
Firing Schedules.com

Cheers,

Dave

It reads " here. I suspect it depends on what newsreader
you're using.
