(KurtB)
this is a fairly easy tool to make and will save you lots time. you will need

3/8 x 8" carriage bolt

some athletic tape
total cost is $7.oo and takes about a hour to make. I truly love this tool I use mine every day.

How-to: Anneal your glass

How-to: Anneal your glass

(NoDFX)
Here is something every glassblower should have in the their shop - an annealing chart. It's a great place to start if you aren't sure about annealing cycles, but remember, it's just a place to start. Adjust according to your working style and colors used frequently.

Email me if you have questions. Poorly annealed glass reflects poorly on all of us.

got me a free kiln... but will it work ?

got me a free kiln... but will it work ?

(glassrebel)
Okay so first off So somehow I got into talking to my mom about blowing glass an I brought up Im looking where to buy kilns even to check prices locally.. an pretty much my moms says "oh didnt I bring one of them back from philly (grandparents house)" an the search though my basement began lol. My grandparents used it to do ceramics an really it hasent been turned on in maybe 10 years. I dont see why it wouldnt operate they kept everything they owned in great shape (I havent tried to turn it on yet its 240volt an no spot to plug it in YET! . So this is part of my foundation for blowing. Some good luck an having somewhat artists in family has sure helped me out. BUT Okay I know its a dumb question , all my instints have told me it'll work for firing glass though a part of me isnt sure some reason because its so damn old early 80's old!!.. But it was stricky used for pottery. So im kinda asking a Question with this page , if this kiln works should I be all set to do glass with it ? Im 99% sure but Im a newb

We've Got Arterial Flow...

We've Got Arterial Flow...

(JasonLeeGlass)
While breaking down some 30/2.8, the glass slipped in my hand, cutting the inside of my thumb severely. Instantly the whole end of my thumb went completely numb and a 10 inch geyser of blood began pulse pumping all over the place. In panic, i ran from one side of the shop to the other and back , spraying blood everywhere, while screaming "we've got arterial flow..." over and over.

0. Custom Carlise Marvering Pad/Point Rest and Hel jr.

(HelSKitchen)
This is a marvering pad that my son and I made together on a sunny sunday...Can you believe he did most of the sanding, and for 2 1/2 years old, he did a suprisenly fine job...He's quite the little helper. I'm so proud of him...If anyone's interested in obtaining a custom marvering pad for thier torch, or other custom work done to thier burner (except Herbie's, or any german torches for that matter)(as much as I love em, I don't fuck with em.) Drop us a note, We can fabercate almost anything...eyalhe...
