When I called them they said "they are having to send out replacement blades right and left". They said when I get the new blade to replace the yellow and red grommets and then call tehm and they would walk me through the rest of the ajustments before starting up again. They are very helpful. And I must say I miss the saw already even though I only used it for a few hours. It saves so much in glass!!

I can't understand a diamond blade breaking unless they are flawed. That said, can you honestly say there is *no* problem? It doesn't matter that they will send a new blade. What does matter is the fact that the machine is idle until the new blade arrives, but for how long until it's idle again is a guess at best.

(soon i'll be having a tips page on this subject, more or less). copper foil is designed for small pieces, curvy pieces and any project which needs detail. lead is clunky, and more poisoness then solder. it also needs more steps. i actually think it's really ugly when people (even tiffany), did long runs of lead then switched to foil. it's ugly. foiling done right, will never come off. it it falls off your not putting it on right. when i'm done, the only way to remove the foil is to swipe a razor blade at it on all three sides. ultimitaly the neatness of your soldering determines, and shows the amount of skill you have as an artist, it shows your attention to detail, and it shows that you care how it looks. another example: you could were a potato bag as clothes. it serves the purpose, it keeps you warm. but do you wear it? probably not, you'll have to ask yourself why you don't. ---Mike Savad -- Mike's Stained Glass - Tips Tricks Photos http://www.geocities.com/Paris/1141 9-12-99 - New Pages Added: 3 new Tips sections - Reader's Tips, Making your own Glass Filigree, and Cutting Different types of glass.

Poor workmanship is just that- poor workmanship. Sloppy soldering destroys confidence in the ability of the maker of the SG panel.

I have seen some rather good welding work on metal sculpture. I say this from a prospective of long association with submarine welding and brazing. To see such welding/brazing is to see a work of art in itself. It is craftsmanship raised to an art. Anything less would fail to inspire confidence. Works of art with poor workmanship of any kind loose at least a part of their market share. >>Where's the truth in materials with copper foil >>anyway?

I believe that well designed lead work is stronger than copper foil work but not by your reasoning. Lead came does not even have the benefit of the stickiness of copper foil to hold it together. Further, lead came does not bind the glass as closely as in copper foil work. Each technique has its place in art glass work.

At the same time I bought a Diamond Tech. It took lots of adjust ments to get it aligned and I thought the instructions were terrible. Luckily I have a woodworker friend used to aligning wood saws to help me out. As far as the Gyphon goes, there is a fellow with a shop near by that has one and he said it worked until he had a blade break and then the alignment got thrown out and he has never been able to get it working again. When I went to get some advice on which saw to buy his suggestion was to try the Diamond tech. So far it is working unlike my Taurus but I much prefer the Taurus. Someone mentioned there Taurus makes a "pop"when it starts up. This is not mormal. Overall with the saws I think they are all pretty cheesy for alot of money. I thought they would be much sturdier. I think they can add alot of ease and save glass but somebody needs to come out with a "quality version". ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Thu Dec 2 18:06:58 1999 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Thu, 2 Dec 1999 17:09:45 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #9 built 1998-Oct-12) X-Path: clientes.euskaltel.es!elere From: "Elena Rodríguez" To: KSee Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Subject: Re: snap crackle & pob Again Date: Thu, 02 Dec 1999 21:37:00 +0100 Message-ID: <1999Dec2.22370.0> References: <<1999Dec1.135116.0>> Precedence: bulk Hi Ksee I am not sure that we've had the same problem, ; my previous Weller 100 died after repairing it a couple of times; in my case the wire had broken inside its protection cover (both covers, hose and individual ones inside)and that caused a short-circuit; (a short circuit can cause enough heat, in fact even flames, to melt a thick rubber coating before the house fuses go PLOF - I had a good chance to see that when almost burned my kitchen a couple of months ago).

I'm still on my original blade, but I'm also careful not to push hard on the glass. As for the GlassStar vs the Diamond Tech - I've used both and have a Diamond Tech. Much nicer bandsaw. If you are having trouble aligning the new blade, Diamond Tech will walk you through the steps and I'm told they can do amaizing things over the phone. I bought a used Diamond 3000, and finally sent it in for a $75 reburbishment, but that was because the lower wheel had developed a wobble, so it never did hold the blade properly. It seems nice and tight now. And hey, Suzanne, you can give yourself a friction burn but you cannot cut yourself with a Taurus!

For me too Joseph, but I HAVE come across some stained glass work for sale that I couldn't even delight in the glass because of the poor soldering surrounding it. My eye was drawn to the soldering instead. And that's sad when that happens.

It's not for lack of practice. And I've taken a soldering workshop at a local studio. Part of my problem was my original teacher. Guy was a sweetie-- kept praising and praising when what I needed was some contructive criticism. And he only allowed us to use the paste flux. The lady who did the workshop used a liquid. I tried it and liked it very much for came work, but it spits too much with copper foil. Listening to the bungi folk, I finally bought some gel flux and used it for the first time last night. I was amazed at the difference it made in my soldering!

If the ends are loose as implied in your message, they can become tangled in the grinder bit (head), jamming it at least, and possibly affecting your fingers if the glass gets involved. All loose material near a rotating piece of machinery should be removed." The washcloth is laid across the back of the grinder. Don't forget the plastic guard and the sponge, they prevent the cloth from getting anywhere near the head. The ends of the cloth are a few inches away of the head on both sides. I just make sure they don't hang off the sides and drip onto the table. ALthough I always use my grinder on top of a Morton board so if it does drip the water collects in the little squares and doesn't affect anything, it just dries up. ___________________________________________________________________ Why pay more to get Web access?

I have rarely seen really ugly pieces done by students, but of the two truely ugly ones done by students of my original instructor, they were both "designed" by their makers, and one must have been colorblind, and the other could never discern the grain of the glass - not to mention the designs themselves were just downright bad. But I was reminded of this thread the other day at one of my local suppliers. A lady came out of the work area bearing a lamp shade which she was trying on various lamp bases. It was one of the most pathetic creations I have ever seen. The glass itself was ill chosen. The colors were off and a funny opaque and the soldering was about what I produce when using solderwick to remove solder from a completed piece. You have seen terrible scars on burn victims? That melted skin look, all raised and pitted, and smeared? And the natural solder color looked dull, like cast aluminum. I still have tooth marks in my tongue, from trying not to burst out with "My God! That's the ugliest thing I've ever seen!" Then I clamped down harder on my tongue because I generally try to admire something about an effort, while I encourage some damage control. After all, she wasn't MY student (have no idea who the instructor was), but you can bet I'll never recommend anyone to take a class there. I can tell you no student of mine would have left the workroom with something looking like that. The poor glass would have rendered it just a very sorry object, but it was the soldering that kicked it over the edge into gawdawful. -- ********************************************************************* * Cecily Taylor Cummings Wood and/or Ralph Bernard Wood * Grendel Studio (Glass, Graphics, Gardens, Genealogy) ********************************************************************* ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Fri Dec 3 20:24:24 1999 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Fri, 3 Dec 1999 19:40:12 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #9 built 1998-Oct-12) X-Path: gjr From: gjr@bungi.com (Glenna Rand) To: glass@bungi.com Subject: NYC Date: Fri, 3 Dec 1999 19:39:59 PST Message-ID: Precedence: bulk Hi everyone, Any special glass museums I should check out while I'm in NYC?

Here are some of mine. 1. Try to make all like joints alike by using the same attack angle with the soldering iron. An example is that all joints to the frame are made by pulling the iron from the came to the frame in line with the run of the came. 2. Where there is a run of same joints, such as in a bevel border, make all joints in a run in succession. This helps the solderer to make all of them the same. 3. Where there are right angle cross joints use the same soldering approach, such as, starting on a cut came, pulling the iron to the crossing came, moving to left and right a small amount on the crossing came, moving on to the second cut came and finally back to the center of the joint. The desired result is a neat plus sign of solder with no indication of which is the cut came. 4. Where solder joints are within about 1/2" of each other consider joining all joints with connected soldering rather than leaving little gaps of unsoldered came. 5. Inspect each completed joint for a second after completing it and moving on to the next. If the joint is solder poor now is a good time to correct the problem. Excess solder can be flicked onto the glass from the hot joint with the iron. 6. When a panel side is completed take a couple of minutes to insure all joints are made and correct any irregularities.

Yes, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's American Wing has some nice stuff, including Tiffany, of course, and stained glass from the middle ages, but also a large window by Bolton, one of a pair of brothers who's work was the first suite of windows by American artists in an American church. But you should also get up to The Cloisters (also part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art); if you do it the same day, your entry fee in midtown gets you in there at no extra charge. Take a cab up to Ft Tryon Park off the Henry Hudson Parkway and have the driver wait for you. A large suite of windows by John La Farge is in Judson Church on the south edge of Washington Square Park. Walk directly south from the fountain in the park to the yellow brick building on the right side of La Guardia Place. There's usually someone there; you may have to knock and ask to see the windows. They're very nice and accommodating. The windows were recently restored by Cummings Studio here in North Adams MA. Come back to this part of town in the evening; it's a jumpin' folk and jazz diining and drinks part of the City. At the corner of Broadway and 10th Street, an easy walk from Washington Square, you'll find Grace Church, which has more Tiffany, but also lots of other important American artists' windows. Go through the little wrought iron gate to the left of the church doors, ring the vestry bell and ask if you may view the windows. Go to the Union Square Cafe for lunch; it's great! Julie Sloan might have some other suggestions for you on glass to see. Her email address is jsloan@vgernet.net > Any tips on holiday sights? Oh, you bet. From the Metropolitan Museum of Art, walk south on Fifth Avenue to 59th Street. You'll see F.A.O. Schwarz at 767 Fifth Avenue. The story is that a woman with two kids getting off a bus across from FAO Schwarz was overheard telling them they were going to the "toy museum" and they mustn't touch anything and that nothing was for sale. Of course, it's just the biggest toy store in the world. Rockefeller Center is just down the street; go there for the tree and the skaters, passing some of the greatest shopping meccas in the world on the way, of course. For more on Rockefeller Center Christmas, see http://articles.citysearch.com/New_York/virtualtour/rockefellerxmas/ If you're feeling especially flush ('cause it's expensive), treat yourself to lunch at The Four Seasons, 99 East 52nd Street. Of course, there's Little Italy and Chinatown (downtown), but for real deals on Christmas buying, go to Orchard Street (*way downtown). Food's great in all three areas, but in Orchard Street, you'll get great Kosher food and friendly insults at the same time, a terrific New York Experience. If you're there early in the day, have matzobrei (scrambled eggs with matzos) with coffee and applesauce. Yum. Have a *great time!

Don't unplug your iron until after you've washed the flux off your panel and inspected it thoroughly. That way you won't have to wait for the iron to reheat if you need to touch up bubbles or other rough spots that may have been hidden by gunky flux.

Connie Assuming you can afford it, there's an easy answer to that one: Buy a loaded Mac G3 (the tower kind, not the iMac kind), or (even better) a G4, and install "SoftPC." Voila! - you've got the machine you want, with the ability to run all the PC stuff you have to "tolerate." What's more, even with that "foreign" Windoze operating system grafted onto it, a G4 (or even a top of the line G3) will run your PC software noticeably faster than a PC can.

Actually mine was a bit more obvious...a hole had burned through. Periodically you should take the tip out and clean the contact area. A long screw driver is helpful for this. As you solder the flux fumes can deposit solids that eventually get between the tip and the contacts. If you take your tip out and scrap the screw driver around and then knock out the scraped off particles, you will be amazed at what falls out. Hope this helps but I would definitely try out a new tip before springing for a new iron.

I woke up this morning thinking about Glenna's trip to NYC, oddly enough. I realized that what with the Met, The Cloisters, the U.N. and whatever else's been suggested, her 3 days are going to be full. The Met alone could take a full day, truth be told; she and her husband are going to have tired footsies from all the walking around. Be sure to fit in some nap times. I suggested a cab from the Met to the Cloisters because taking a bus will take quite a while. Traffic can be *intense. There'll only be about 8 million other people in Manhattan those three days, too. But if you do take a cab, Glenna. I'd suggest you get a ways out of midtown before hailing one. Walk across Central Park (yes, you can do that) to 81st Street, stopping at the Museum of Natural History (very cool) if you want, then continue to Broadway (same direction, away from the Met). If you hail a cab there, you'll be on the West Side Highway immediately (just about) and at the Cloisters in no time. (Of course, instead of striking for 81st Street, you could head toward West 72nd Street, where at the corner of Central Park West, you'll find The Dakota, John and Yoko's house. Well, she still has their apartment there.) Everything Ali says about the beauty of the Cloisters is true, though. It's sort of a hidden-in-plain-sight secret of NYC. It's not really an old castle brougt from Euope by Rockefeller, but *bits and pieces of several castles, cloisters, nunneries, churches and whatnot, all of which were then melded together into some sort of coherent (or at least semi-coherent) assemblage. It's very nice, very quiet and beautiful. My youngest son and I used to go there regularly during the summer to enjoy the "kitchen garden" of medieval herbs on the south side of the building; I think they're all pretty much dead and uglified during the winter, though. Enjoy the trip!

I have tended to place glass pieces touching each other, but found that the more pieces a panel or lamp has, the more strongly it holds together, suposse the soldering forms a kind of skeleton or network, and the more "lines" to it, the stronger it gets, right? It'd be great to be able to see what a good soldering is to look like, any references? Thank you for your attention and help in advance. I look forward to hearing from you.

I couldn't find much of recent note on the Apple corporate site except an announcement from two weeks ago that said the iBook was at that time the number selling portable computer and that, in combination with their PowerBook sales, they have an 11% share of the portable market. Did you find something else? CUPERTINO, California-Nov. 22, 1999-Apple's blueberry iBookT is the number one selling portable computer in the U.S. retail market in October, according to the most recent monthly hardware report by PC Data. The complete report is available at www.pcdata.com. Based on this report, the combined sales of Apple's iBook and PowerBookr portable computer lines give Appler an 11 percent share of the U.S. retail portable market in October.

About one in ten of my customers will send floppies or Zip disks that are formatted for Mac, so I have MacOpener running in the background. Any Mac disks open and are useable exactly as if they were PC disks. Very helpful, totally transparent, and I can in that way easily help those clients who run on the Apple operating system. There's not many of them, but one should still be able to run their stuff and at $60, it's cheap and seamless.

I work in a school and have lots of old used transparencies. My tip for the day is I clean them up as good as I can and let dry. When I have a pattern that I am following I can trace any solid color pattern piece to the transparency to make a perfect template to lay on top of the glass. I have been successful at printing from my scanner onto the used transparencies as well. I use this technique when I can't see to cut my glass from my pattern. When finished I can toss these out. I also will use this template when I'm grinding as it doesn't matter if the piece I am grinding is wet I can still test it on the plastic for size and fit.

ALso, there is a kind of transparency thicker than OHP ones, they are used here as a cover for binding photocopies (for example, with a spiral thing like some notebooks). I keep these patterns for next time I want the same design. Permanent felt markers (Staedler) stand water for a while and allow you to see pattern limits when grinding; they come in different point/line widths, so you can make very thin lines, which I find saves glass; alcohol rubs it off, so corrections are very easy to make. It works fine for me, I recommend it too! Elena sherry escribió: > Hello stained glass artist. > I work in a school and have lots of old used transparencies.

ALso, there is a kind of transparency thicker than OHP ones, they are used here as a cover for binding photocopies (for example, with a spiral thing like some notebooks). I keep these patterns for next time I want the same design. Permanent felt markers (Staedler) stand water for a while and allow you to see pattern limits when grinding; they come in different point/line widths, so you can make very thin lines, which I find saves glass; alcohol rubs it off, so corrections are very easy to make. It works fine for me, I recommend it too! Elena sherry escribió: > Hello stained glass artist. > I work in a school and have lots of old used transparencies.

Bob, Indeed, Chihuly is a good salesman and doesn't seem terribly pretentious, just a kid from 'the wrong side of the tracks' [that is how he presents himself anyway] who was born with a native talent and made the most of it. I like that about the guy. He DOES know how to beat on his own drum, but thats ok, that just showbiz ... and ya gotta have good PR to make it in showbiz. Chihuly reminds me of my father and his artist buddies in many ways. They're all artists but most of them don't like to be called 'artists' except for PR purposes. A lot of them are somewhere to the right of Attila the Hun politically though of course some are dyed-in-the-wool liberals. Artistic talent has absolutely no relation whatsoever with any political views, which side of the tracks one was born on, educational background, or any thing else. People are either born with artistic talent or they're not. I always find the portrait of 'artists' as being sensitive and misunderstood folks generally a little anti-social and/or socially dysfunctional with normal people due their extreme sensitivity ... to be quite hilarious. Nothing could be further from the truth. Why look at that guy Picasso ... I think the only reason Picasso did anything artistic was so that he could meet more and better looking gals . My own Dad is about as Republican as they come but he made enough money from doing art to retire in his early 40's, and since then he does paintings just for himself and gives a few away to people he really likes, like his son . One of his buddies, a fellow named Wilson Hurley, is the premier Western Landscape artist of our times. Its little known that Wilson is the son of General Hurley (one of the American commanders of the Pacific Theatre in the 1939-1945 war) and went to West Point graduating near the top of his class. Wilson also has two M.S. degrees in math and engineering and was a jet pilot in Korea after which he resigned his commission to pursue art. Wilson's brother, Maj. Gen. Lawrence Hurley was one of JCOS, Chief of the Air Force I believe ... I'm not sure, but he was way up there in any case and with a chest full of medals earned in combat. When Vietnam broke out, Wilson rejoined and flew both helicopters and jets in 'Nam; then went back to painting when the 'conflict' was over. While I don't particularly like Wilson's Hurley's style of painting, he is undeniably one of the great painters of our time ... and an interesting fellow. He recently did some large work(s) for the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in OK City, and there is some of his work (not much actually) on the web. The magazine Southwestern Art regularly has his stuff in it and he's been the feature artist several times. My dad has a bunch of friends like that ... great artists who do not fit into the mold that great artists are supposed to fit into. Gotta go .. time's up ...... regards .....

Pictured is also a marvelous little cat panel that is the most perfect example of = why NOT to use a saw. See those cute little curved tails on those cats? Those are stress fractures waiting to happen. Can you cut those darling skinny little curves by hand?? Then = don't do it with a saw. Glass doesn't like to be cut that way. Again, those tails are = subject to stress fracturing and if you have sold that panel to a customer, they would probably come back some point in the future for you to repair the tails. I hope the artist of that panel lets us know when the fractures occur. = I'll make the point again... it does not matter whether you cut glass by hand or saw. But, the resulting shape of the piece and whether it has structural integrity is vital. The folks who intimately understand the nature of the medium are those who have the experience and skill to cut by hand. It doesn't take that kind of = skill to use the saw and using a saw won't = teach you the characteristics of the medium. A good glazier can cut those tails by hand, but won't. Having and using a saw should not preclude good design either. And good design means understanding your medium. More than just a pompous opinion. Experience. As William Morris said, "The peculiarities of the medium should be a joy to you, not a hindrance." Learn to design FOR glass... not around it. The above applies to leaded and foiled glass, not fused or slumped. (Had to say that so Brad wouldn't get on my case!)

Lee Boe had one but she is probably off line recovering. If you buy something not specifically made for glass I would think it has to be something which can get wet since you need to grind glass with water.

Thanks, Jim<< No belt sander here but I do have a couple of Glastar 12" horizontal diamond disk bevelers. These machines do the job to a fair thee well. Straight edges up to about 30"s are possible. It is important to grind glass wet to keep things cool as well as to remove glass waste. a belt sander might not perform well in this environment. There are combination belt/disk sanders available for wood working where the vertical disk part could be isolated and cooled/cleaned with water. Perhaps one of these with a diamond disk from Glastar would do the job. I would recommend the 220 grit disk for straightening edges.

A bank of solar panels are attached to a battery storage system where electricity is stored as 12V power. In order to get 110 V power a converter is required. Generally solar systems are used to power only a few items...like a VHF radio, a few lights, perhaps a computer. In my experience, they are not well suited to applications requiring HUGE amounts of power like a kiln. For instance, we still needed a backup generator to power the washing machine, and our stove was propane as an electric stove would have overtaxed the system. For more power, a larger solar array is required to collect more energy and a larger storage facility (battery bank) is needed. So I'd agree with whoever said a whole hillside of collectors was needed to power a furnace! Here's a good primer on the subject: The New Solar Electric Home.

Another thing , what is an assembly tray, and where can I see one? One more thing, there is something I once saw a picture of and have long wanted to ask about in bungi: it is a metalic device to attatch to a table with an axis and something like arms perpendicular to it which looked adjustable; I though it could be for panel-lamp assembly; the bad news was it costs some 70,000 pesetas through German-Spanish distributors, a fortune as you can see, does anyone know what I am talking about and where to find it cheaper?

I think you missed Dani's point, Bob. She was saying (if I understood correctly myself, that is) that whether glass is cut with a bandsaw or the old-fashioned way, with a cutter, there are certain glass shapes that are inimical to the material ... in other words, shapes that are bound to break simply due to their shape. Having been around glass for the last 30 years, I've certainly seen evidence of what she's talking about: gonzo cutting ("impossible" shapes) that's failed sooner (usually) or later, although yes, sometimes even those somehow have managed to survive. The exceptions prove the rule, though. Even Frank Lloyd Wright did some of that: L-shaped pieces of glass that inevitably cracked across the bottom of the L's leg simply because that's what glass would want to do. So she was suggesting that even though bandsaws might make it possible to make some cuts that hardly anyone would be able to do with a hand cutter, it's still not wise to do so ... and patterns that suggest that such shapes be cut are indications that either the designer of the pattern doesn't know much about the characteristics of the medium or hasn't had much experience cutting the stuff. I agree with her absolutely. My opinion, naturally, but I'll admit that my training in the crafts certainly underscored the necessity of being true to whatever medium one's working in. Using or not using bandsaws in lieu of hand cutters wasn't (as I took her comments) what she was on about.

My reactions were exactly like Dani's! My dictum, axiom (call it what you like) is, if you cannot cut it by HAND , then it cannot / should not be cut! Dani's point about stress and fracture factors is absolutely right. During my visit to Metropolitan Museum of Arts, I saw just such examples of "impossible cuts" executed by both Tiffany and La Farge that have NOT stood the test of time. It has absolutely nothing to do with onward march of technology etc. It has to do with simple theory what a material is and /or is capable of or not, as the case may be. Look at poor Ikarus. He wanted to fly. So he made himself a pair of wings out of wax. Off and up he went, he flew for a bit, but got too close to the sun and his beautifully executed wax wings melted. PLOP! On his face he went! Wax is NOT suitable for making wings fly. Glass is not suitable for making "impossible cuts". I cringed when I read that article! It also had another high-lighted quotation "If Tiffany had access to [a saw] , you can bet that he would have made great use of it" by Martha Hanson of "Paned Expression Studio" ( ....at which point my face takes on a VERY PANED expression....). As evidenced by a number of Tiffany panels I have seen, he pushed his (lady??) glass cutters far enough already with impossible cuts that were fancy, clever but badly thought out. "Clever" cuts look good maybe, but I wholeheartedly subscribe to Dani's approach, that it just ain't all that clever if you then have an unhappy customer banging on your door a few years on, 'cause the glass has broke. Compare THAT to the care, thought and skill of the REAL masters of glass that has survived for 800, 900 years, e.g. in Chartres! Let's get real here! I thought I had managed to bring a Message, a Mission with me to USA that "gizmos" have a hidden danger, a hidden agenda; that "gizmos" actually prevents passionate glass-folks from THINKING about what glass is all about...... Have I failed so abysmally???? And for Bob and Robert.....; Hey guys! take off ad "doff" your caps here to REAL pros. Bob, from your comments - I can see that you haven't even bothered to check out what Michael and Dani are doing. I don't know from what "high horse" you are pontificating, but I would suggest and recommend a very speedy climb-down; Robert; if you had even bothered to visit The Greer's web-site, you would have known that the Team is 1 x male plus 1 x female. If Michael is male.... then it might conceivably follow that Dani is female. They most certainly WERE, last time I was with them!!!! And I love them BOTH! Their work just stands for itself; their appreciation of history and traditional methods and techniques IN HARMONY with new ideas, new way of doing things, experimentation has been a tremendeous inspiration for me. There has to be a balance of old and new; there has to be a real empathy of what glass can and cannot do. Dani and Michael (amongst others I met) have THAT feel, intuition, knowledge and what you might also call "inner knowledge". Off Soap-Box!! Elisabeth 'n Toby in UK We disagree on this bandsaw thang. Dani ... you're a bit teched on this subject. This is only your OPINION anyway ... so ... Why don't you let it go for a while? Say for about the next 3 or 4 decades? If it were anyone else, I'd either just start blasting ... ya know, start shooting and continue until there is no return fire and then go count the bodies after ... ... or ... just dismiss you entirely. This entire bandsaw thang is kind of a dead issue in the sense that just about everyone has already decided and isn't going to change their mind no matter what anyone else says ... so these discussions can only lead to bad feelings. Is beating this hobby horse really worth it, Dani? Gotta keep movin' ... best regards ...

What does the congregation really want to see? Figurative (in style of an era like medieval, Victorian, art neuveau or deco?) - Bible stories? - Glories of nature (the wonder of His works)? Or do they literally just want COLOR, in which dalle de verre might be interesting? Or how about just a pane of Lamberts, Sunderland, St. Just, etc. either intact with clear surrounds, or pieced with clear. Mono color or multi, as they wished. Grissaille (sp?) or Mondrianish or no geometry at all? As a concert choir member at a quasi-Methodist college, we hit oodles of churches on our spring tours - I used to say I collected churches. A couple that stand out are the Church of the Redeemer (Episcopal) in Baltimore, Maryland, which is modernistic, but the roof appears to float because between the top of the wall and the start of the roof is a row of colored glass (don't know if just panes or thick) - no taller than a sideways cement block, maybe more like a horizontal brick, showing its face side. Understated but elegant. And in another church (Methodist), in Midland Michigan, designed by Aldon Dow who was a pupil of Frank Lloyd Wright, again a modern design, the windows are floor to ceiling in rectangular "stripes" between a wider expanse of wall. If I remember correctly ( long time ago) the windows consisted of a narrow rectangle of green and a wider one of clear, both floor to ceiling. All the appointments in the church matched the green - carpet, pew upholstery, etc. And outside each window were planted large green plants, so the net effect was that of bringing the outside in. Light and airy feeling. Have also seen multi-colored "flames" - I suppose to depict the Holy Spirit. I'll be interested in what they SAY they want and what they really mean, and in what you do for them.

The flame you mentioned is the symbol of the Methodist church and knowing that, it's a nice thing to ask their committee if they would like to incorporate it. It's always good to go into a meeting with a little bit of knowledge about a particular denomination.

The idea of bringing nature into the church by leaving windows clear seems to be somewhat popular amongst = architects and designers, but not with the congregations (or the window-cleaning committee!) Altar in the round is being pushed and collapsible/removeable seating. Symbology seems to be less popular, and for churches that want color, non-representational work seems to be more in line with what they want. I think there's such a division of opinion between traditionalists and modernists that folks just want something "vanilla" that won't offend anyone.

It's also incredibly challenging in all ways. And very lucrative... ;-) Stop hoping. Start doing. P.S.

It's possible to get antique glass in West Virginia that look more like the old stuff. Wonderful Blenko glass,from Milton, West Virginia Try it, Iif you get a chance.

I know you will find it most worthy of your time, questions, and input. In addition to being a glass artist, I still spend a great time in court, serving as an expert witness, in another field. All of my work there involves torts (liability, negligence, etc.) I am here to tell you that you have no choice to disclose what you have observed, regarding the reinforcement, because you could find yourself drawn into possible litigation, if damage or injury were to result due to poor design and craftsmanship, even though you didn't do the work. Believe me I know from this!!!

I have a good quality diamond band saw and use it from time to time to make impossible cuts for fusing- such as the little interlocking puzzle type indentations seen in grape leaves. The leaves are then fused on a backing sheet of glass and so are quite strong. I also use the band saw once in a while when I want a tight inside curve without chipping. I can score cut a "pacman" but this overall shape is actually quite strong. > >Will the annealing process relieve the stresses involved in the curves? No, because most glass sold as art glass has little or no stress to begin with. The stresses refered to are mechanical stresses where a thin piece of glass may be broken simply because of the leverage that may be exerted on the glass (glass has great compressive but little tensile strength). Curved pieces are more likely to "see" stress due to leverage. The same curved piece straightened out may only see stress in a compressive direction and thereby survive. As a matter of empirical testing on my part, glass with stress due to rapid cooling is stronger than unstressed glass. I have been able to heat stress smaller pieces of glass to the point where they are about three times stronger than unstressed glass. Compair this with fully tempered glass that is about five times stronger than the same glass untempered. >If fused on top of other glass will the added thickness resist breakage >more than if it remained 3mm? Yes, two pieces of same glass properly fused together are about twice as strong as a single piece. I use this principle to make long slender rose stems. I will stack fuse one or two 1/4" wide strips of green on a piece of green or clear that is about 7/16" wide. The upper layer(s) round up nicely and the whole thing is about three times as strong without heat treating. The two layer fusing is about the same strength as the three layer due to the two layer shrinking in cross section. > >Has anyone tested their theories? (I would if I had a saw, but don't >intend to get one) Good for you. Except for a few grape windows my saw is not worth the table space it occupies. I cann't think of anything else that I have fused that needs it. I do fire for a crafter that uses a saw a lot but he is into making minatures where the saw is quite necessary. Just the racket the ringsaw makes fully insures that I will never have one in my studio. > >Steve > >-- >Steve Richard >Verrier Art Glass Ltd >s.richard@verrier-scotland.demon.co.uk ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Sat Dec 11 00:42:48 1999 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Sat, 11 Dec 1999 00:12:45 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #9 built 1998-Oct-12) X-Path: prodigy.net!bobdu From: "Bob Duchesneau" To: "Bungi" , "D.

The "mold/corrosion" is probably neither if the windows are lead came. It is most likely bloom from the cement used. You say the windows are "8 x 3 foot panes". Professionals would take your reported measurements to mean the windows are 8' wide and 3' high because the established protocol is to give width followed by height. Do you really mean this or are the windows really 3' wide and 8' high. Do you know if the lead cames have internal brass or steel reinforcing that can not be seen? Is there rebar that has been skillfully bent so that it shows little. Does the design and lead of these windows allow them to survive as is? Is there a protective glazing? How long have the windows been in place? Is there any measurable bowing? If not and the windows have been in place for a few years they are proof in and of themselves that they are adequate. I see a slander suit if this gets out of hand.

As the "full antique" (which describes the *process rather than the age of the glass) is blown, the large bubble is rotated in a trough-like form. During that rotation back and forth (and up and down the length of the trough a bit, too), the hot glass takes on the "lines" you mention as imperfections in the surface of the trough rub against it. The lines are intentional and are even sometimes increased by the glassblowers, who merely toss straw into the trough to increase the number of "imperfections" the glass rubs against. I've been to the Lamberts factory as well as to most of the other glass factories in Europe and can tell you this is a very common (and intentional) practice. Enjoy!

I have used a saw to cut pieces of glass the shape of puzzle pieces, fitted them together, and then fused it all to form a piece that looks like a jigsaw puzzle, then slumped the resulting blank to a bowl shape. The pieces fuse together as well as strips cut and fused the same way. > > Will the annealing process relieve the stresses involved in the curves? Absolutely.

If annealed properly, thicker glass should resist breakage better. Though I wouldn't recommend it and don't do this as part of my testing procedures, I have dropped 3 layers thick glass items to the floor and had them emerge unbroken. Doubling the thickness roughly doubles the strength. > Has anyone tested their theories? (I would if I had a saw, but don't > intend to get one) No empirical tests, other than normal annealing, stress-type. I'm confident the kind of cut it doesn't make a difference once the item is fused. I bought the saw in order to cut fused items to rearrange the cross-section into new patterns. It's nearly impossible to cut thick fused items by hand, especially into narrow strips. I only occasionally cut odd shapes and sharp curves -- the puzzle piece bowl was just out of curiosity. Besides, glass saws are very slow, noisy, and expensive to operate, so I only use my saw when I can't make the cut by hand. Usually, that's because the glass is too thick and dense, not because the curve's too sharp.

As a lifelong artist the only comparable situation between religion and painting that comes to mind is in the Rothko paintings in the chapel in Texas. There, he still painted his sombre rectangles, but in contemplative colors. Now in historical as well as contemporary society, we find that in the main (I know there are exceptions) stained glass is used only in religious settings. How did that come about? To think that when you're inside a structure to contemplate a higher form of consciousness, or a higher state of being, you need the light entering the structure to be filtered through some pretty colored glass---whether it's figurative, or abstract. On the other hand, think of the DA's office-- say in the Bronx---can you imagine the windows in the interrogation room being garnished with lovely stained glass panels? Or, how about this, you go to visit your loved one in prison, and get to talk to them through the glass partition-- and it's made of Lambert's glass or Uroboros Streaky? What we seem to have to deal with is a hierarchy of light and color: light, as it exists as a form of energy from our sun is bad, worldy, and cold---it has to be broken down into components of itself (the spectrum) especially, the warm end, to elevate us to a higher plane of reality.

A couple summers ago I got to tour the Kokomo and Youghiogheny factories which do the hand-mixed but mechanically rolled glass and their processes were similar, but the whole ambiance of each place was much different. Even their show rooms were very different, although they were both extremely gracious with visitors. Maybe "Common Ground" could do a series on the various glass manufacturers, with photos of the various stages and processes in rolled glass and blown glass - feature one per issue? I know the thing that really impressed me was that they NEVER shut the furnace down, not even when replacing a pot!!!!!!!!! They tear the bricks down while the thing is roaring hot, yank the old pot and put the new one in and rebuild the wall. (You couldn't pay me enough to even get near enough to dip into a pot with the long handled ladles, let alone getting right up to the furnace and taking it apart brick by brick - and they said it was hand done - not by machine!) Amazing? And I kept wondering WHY? Seems kinda insane to me, and the only thing I could think of was that maybe the other pots would crack or otherwise not survive the cooling and reheating. Wonder what a small pot, or the larger ones cost? Wonder who manufactures those pots, and what temperature they are fired at? I'd expected the pots to be some kind of metal - sort of like in a steel mill, but instead they are ceramic. I was also fascinated by how the pots were used (big ones for background basic color, and little ones for contrast, and how the progression over the life of the pot was always light to dark, since once a color has been used you will never again achieve clear. That explains why some uncat and/or special glass is in short supply because you must have the happy juxtaposition of which glass is in the pots at the same time to achieve them. Obviously they try to control that, but a pot can go bad unexpectedly, or wear out faster than normal. Or a special order of a large amount of something can also get things out of sync. For instance, black is what is produced just before a pot is to be replaced. It would also be interesting to understand how the ring mottle is achieved, flakes and streamers - when do they add them for the rolled glass - or is that blown and rolled in them? How do they make the flakes and streamers themselves? Are the streamers extruded? I do know that ripple is caused by the rollers operating at different speeds, and that you can use only one roller (top) or two (top and bottom). And that patterns are made because the roller contains the pattern - except for granite which is made on a table which contains the pattern - at least a Kokomo. Sorry guys - I have a voracious curiosity and I want to know it ALL (right now, too ). I wish I'd discovered working with glass earlier in my life. It's just so fascinating!

Just to add a few words to Brad's excellent report. None of the stresses referred to in this thread speak to annealing stress which is assumed to be satisfactory. BELOW the anneal zone is the stress zone down to about 500'F. Slow cooling, time based on the thickness and size of the glass piece, is necessary to avoid stressing the outer skin of the glass over the core and introducing a hardening effect. Glass that has been cooled to quickly will be hard to cut but stronger. Further, the glass may crack if cooled to quickly. The fusing charts at: http://www.spectrumglass.com should be studied by anyone interested in a better understanding of the above.

How did that come about?< I would say in America today, stained glass is as much a fixture in homes as in churches. For many years, probably 70% of our work was residential. As far as the tradition of stained glass in churches, yes, I would say that that is rooted in the ecclesiastical environment and that cost was a major concern with the advent of glazed windows. Stained glass served a functional purpose in the form of protection from the elements, but it was also largely didactic and intended to "school" and control the ignorant masses with their imagery. And powerful tools for that they still are to this day. And to this very day, the functional aspect of stained glass prevails and makes it a popular art/craft form.... one of the few within one can actually make a fine living (and being first an oil painter, believe me I know!) I say that stained glass is art that has to work for a living.... like all the finer crafts - pottery, lighting, fiber work, metalsmithing, etc. The public can justify spending money on stained glass because is "does something".... = perhaps provides privacy while allowing light in, blocks the sun from fading the carpet, etc. Few folks will spend as much for the picture over their sofa, as they did for the sofa... and, of course, the first thing everyone notices is the artwork (cheesey or not) not the furniture. Function is a primary consideration. It's also important to keep in mind era and location when considering stained glass. Look at historic oil paintings, like Vermeer's, and you = will always find a stained glass window in a residential setting. So in parts of Europe, in various times through history, the wealthy had stained glass. Growing up in Germany, I don't every recall seeing stained glass in a home. We have clients who moved here from Washington D.C. and were thrilled to be able to find S.G. everywhere here... it was uncommon in homes in that area of the country. In Kansas, Nebraska, it's everywhere! and has been prevalent forever. It depends on the area in the U.S. and it depends on the country, too, whether = there is a residential trend. Well, enough rambling....

KSee http://members.xoom.com/kseeglass/index.html www.ncagg.org Al.Hollister@coopertools.com wrote: KSee, If using a rheostat instead of temperature control tips the 80 watt heater will not be as affected by the tip touching the stand. It may shorten the heater life a little but should not cause the iron to overheat. I never like to have the tip touching anything when in the holder. I don't know what protective coating is on the stand parts; paint, chrome plating, nickel plating, anodize, zinc plating, etc. etc. When I have a tip that may be 700 - 1000°F, covered with solder and flux residue, I don't know what the reaction between the dissimilar metals might be.

With the 80w I use a rheostat so I can solder at a lower temp. Does the same thing happen? Al.Hollister@coopertools.com wrote: KSee There are some really nice looking, solidly built holders out there that unfortunately can damage soldering irons, especially irons that are large, high wattage, high temperatures, or a combination of all three, depending on the iron construction and heater/tip technology. Some soldering irons have heaters that idle at low wattage but increase their wattage during the soldering operation. We have an iron that idles at 50 watts but when used to solder heavy loads, as is often the case in stained glass work, the iron can increase its wattage up to 240 watts. Since the tip touching metal is just like soldering a heavy load the heater will be full on almost all of the time, shortening life. Some other manufacturer's irons also increase their wattage as the load calls for. We have irons that control the temperature by turning the heater on and off. With these irons if the tip is touching metal the heater will probably always be on as it is trying to maintain the temperature. Again, this will shorten tip life. I also often recommend that soldering iron holders be "re-bent" so that the iron is held more horizontal than vertical as long as this does not cause the tip to touch the side of the holder. Since heat rises this keeps the handle area from getting too hot, especially with higher temperature irons. I will watch for your iron. Best regards, Al -----Original Message----- From: "ATF Distribution Center-K. See" The problem you mentioned with the stands is interesting. Do you have some info to share that could be posted to bungi glass list?

We will be closed from Dec. 23 to Jan 3 so might want to rush it to us so that we can hopefully get the replacement iron off to you before our Christmas shutdown. SNIP> KSee wrote: Al I just read your message about the stand. Yes, the iron sometimes touches the metal because the black plastic thing comes out and does not keep the iron in straight. This seems to happen to all my stands. A real pain, plus there are time when I remove the iron and the plastic come along with the iron. Hi Al, What a surprise to come home & find your phone message!! I will send the iron out today. About the stand, you mentioned sending all or part of it to you too. I need clarification on this. The stand I am using is an import no name brand, black base with metal coil & plastic cup/insert. Same for the one I use with the Weller 80. I do a lot of decorative soldering so I interchange between the two. I'll take the stand to work and wait to hear from you to see what I should ship.

Oh, sure. Glass in all forms lends itself to "play." I've watched Mexican glassblowers make bracelets by pulling a cane and quickly wrapping it around a Coke can (for size), clipping it off the punty, then putting it on top of the furnace to anneal there.

Nice meeting you at Glass Visions! I have an acquaintence who uses nothing but a belt sander!!! He does huge mirrored glass scultures that are NEVER foiled nor soldered. The pieces are mostly very long and thin....... bit on the phalic side, you could say. Apparantly they are glued to a backboard. I asked him quite awhile ago and I believe he said he used a "regular" belt sander. Cost is approximately $100. If you would like, I could contact him to be positive.

When I began designing houses I was forever buying plan books, search for the perfect house plan. I would spend night after night browsing books determining which plan would suit my clients the best and which one would require the least modifications. I wasted hours doing this. I now am able to design a house to suit the location and clients perfectly with out having to search through endless pile of plans. I also do this with SG now. You will find that when you are confident in your ability to design and have a good understanding of what can and can't be achieved in the design. You will no longer have to search for patterns. You will be able to draw your own. Now I also know that there is no need to go re-inventing the wheel, and when it comes down to a complicated piece it is often quicker to modify, or merge with an existing design, than it is to re-create one. Books now sit on my shelves only to be used for illustrating a point to a client, checking ideas for suitability etc. My inspiration comes first, books come second. My point is this. Get some confidence in your drawing ability, recall what you have already done. Remember the styles you have used and the rules that applied to those styles. Then create..... create..... create.... Then you may find that you no longer need the books.

I have saved a great deal of time searching for the perfect pattern since I started designing my own. Often I do an internet search for a specific- say a certain flower or bird, and use the results to design with. The art galleries and photo sites and natural history sites have lots of great pics. I also use field guides, art books etc. Although my patterns aren't perfect, neither are lots that come out of pattern books!!!

Most of his materials stress the "hand-made" aspect of the production, but the bulk of it is made in China (by hand, to be fair) using very cheap labor. $150 a square foot represents quite a mark-up, given that you could make a square foot of the glass for about $15 and access to a kiln. If you decide to buy a bunch for $150, let me know - I'd be happy to make you some for half that, laughing all the way to the bank. (By the way, Job claims to have "invented" the glass, but Boyce Lundstrom's Glass Fusing Book One has several very similar items, along with suggestions on how to make them.) Job's site is worth taking a look at, if only to see the kinds of things he and his Chinese workers have come up with: http://www.billjob.com/ You can find JobGlass in the Products and Services section.

Hmm. Since quite a bit of time would be involved, not to mention the cost of glass, fuel for the kiln, and waste as you learned to make the stuff stick together without popping off voluntarily, the hourly rate for the square foot to end up costing $15 would have to be kinda low, don't you think? Having seem some of this glass up close and personal, I'll have to admit that I think it's not the most beautiful stuff I've ever seen. My opinion, of course, but I did have to reach for the Tums right away.

Why not, again? I've used paste flux on came for years.... 3. never grout the panels--grout never dries, make your own cement mixture-- No argument there...all of us know the putty recipe by now, we've had DETAILED discussions about this with description of all components, the chemical breakdown and reactions, boiled vs. raw linseed oil, % of oil to spirits, use of plaster, etc, thanks to a couple of Bobs and Dani, who spelled out the facts. (See August 1999 in the archives, if you wish to review this. I just finished editing that month...I know those posts!) 4. soldering joints--place a drop of flux on the joint, pick up a ball of solder (60/40) with the iron, and lay it on the joint--try not to spread the flux onto the glass. Well, to each his own as to style. Why not hold the spool of solder in the other hand and melt a small amount on to the joint? I almost always use flat H (1/2") on the outside borders..not just for restoration work, either... easier to fit, easy to frame, provides something for cabinet clips/moldings etc. to fit up against as opposed to the glass. The use of Lexan is interesting..he used it on everything? Why not tempered glass, it won't cloud up? Thanks for the review, Joseph. I'd be interested in more information. You'll probably see as many responses as there are glass artists on bungi. Happy Holidays to you.

My idea is to essentially make a box. The top will be the chess board and then there will be a drawer under that to hold the chess pieces. I am thinking of making the squares two by two. So that would make a box 16"X16"X 5"(deep). My first question is, the bottom of the box would be a solid 16"X16" piece of glass. Will it take the weight? How do I get my drawer to slide? Any ideas on color combinations? I want different colors for each boy. And anyone have any ideas on how to make the shapes of the peices? I am thinking something 3-D. Like a cirle cut in half and then an upright deisign soldered to the circle as a base. Pons could be simple circle on a square. Castle could be just one piece with a jagged top. Queen and king could be body, face, and crown, But the bishop and the knight really have me stumped. Thanks in advance.

They might be slammin those chess pieces on that board! I might approach this with a wood worker....have a hinged box made, and insert the glass board into the bottom, against the wood, (with or without fabric to cushion the glass), and the pieces could be stored within the box. Something like a backgammon set. That would avoid the attempt to slide open a glass drawer...for that I would ask Mike Savad! As for the pieces...there are so many 3-d angels out there, some on a base, why not use them for inspiration? 20mm jewels of different colors for the head, etc. Good luck, and Merry Christmas!

The Sony Mavica is the *only* digital camera that uses 3.5" diskettes for its film. You can shoot as many as 40 regular pictures or 20 high quality pictures on a single 1.4MB 3.5" diskette. At today's prices that brings your 'film' cost down to about $.03 per 20-40 pictures! Try doing that with any other camera. ;)) Also, with the Sony Mavica you can make copies of any diskette, not just your pictures, but programs, too. The new Sony Mavica's also let you cut the pictures down in size for easy on the road emails via a modem. Imagine, you can take a picture one minute and in seconds you can literally post your picture around the world! As you can see, I really do love my Sony Mavica Digital Camera. Some of their models now let you make mini movies, add sound (good for descriptions of the picture), and so much more. The battery is super strong and lasts a very long time between recharging times. You can purchase an additional battery and never be caught short. If I was going to change anything about the Sony Mavica, it would be some way to dim the flash. I've heard the flash described as a "nuclear flash", it's not *that* bright, but it is very bright. There is a Sony Mavica Digital Camera 'ring' on the Internet. This shouldn't be hard to find if you do a search on any big search engine to locate them. Some people have used window tinting film for use as a shade for the "nuclear flash", some have added lenses to increase the telephoto range, etc. The Sony Mavica camera owners are very willing to share their secret finds and new ways to use their cameras with others, including me. haha! Hope this helps you out, I'll help you find a model to suit you also if you'd like. See how helpful we Sony owners are for the digital newbies? ;) Tom From: Subject: NG: Digital Camera Recommendations? : Hi all, : : Can anyone recommmend a digital camera for me? : I am looking for: : Price - around $500 give or take $100, take is better : Macro capabilities for close-ups : PC compatable : : Laura ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Thu Dec 16 16:12:08 1999 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 15:44:07 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #14 built 1999-Dec-14) X-Path: prodigy.net!bobdu From: "Bob Duchesneau" To: "Bungi" , Content-Type: text/plain; Subject: Re: Digital Camera Recommendations?

Video can also be stored on the PC. I've tested it and it works well and easily for SG (800 x 600 pixel res). Now the price is not the same (3x your stated goal) but it is a dual function device for us. [A good camcorder is a must for us since my wife is from Hungary, an only child, and close to her family. We have made approx 40-50 tapes, 2 hrs each, of the kids in the last 5 years for her family. Apparently they're well-watched back in Hungary.] Just an idea in case you're thinking about getting a camcorder as well either now or in the near future.

Yeah, I've been using a DC260 for several months now, but it ran way more than $500 ... about $800 if I remember rightly, plus a memory disk upgrade that took it to about $1000. Great hi-resolution photos, fast download to the PC and the upgrade was necessary because the disk that comes with the camera will hold only 8 images, a pain if you're out shooting on site. With the upgrade, I can get 64 high-resolution images, which is more helpful. But I'll certainly second Bob's opinion on the quality of product and service (not that I've needed anything but the upgrade ... it arrived quickly, though). And if you can get these cameras reconditioned at lower prices, so much the better!

It depends on what you want to achieve. Some fine detail can be achieved by copper foil in the midst of came. Of course, using "thread lead" about one eighth inch calme will produce the same level of detail. An aside - The detail or acuteness of the curves and angles possible is directly proportional to the width of the calme and whether it is flat or round (round is capable of bending further without buckling for the same width) Alternatively, you can paint the detail. >2. never use paste flux on came--always use liquid flux. There is a rude British expression for this - balls! This depends entirely on the acids in the flux. I have some reason to believe that the acids in the liquid are as strong as in the paste fluxes. But instead of using chemical fluxes, use organic fluxes - tallow is common. then you don't have the three hand juggling exercise mentioned in point 4. >3. never grout the panels--grout never dries, make your own cement >mixture-- > his recipe sounded more like gesso to me than cement It might be interesting to know of his recipe. >4. soldering joints--place a drop of flux on the joint, pick up a ball >of solder (60/40) > with the iron, and lay it on the joint--try not to spread the flux >onto the glass.

Well, maybe not. I was asked to look at a church where all the windows had been given an external glazing of Lexan (which we call polycarbonate) less than 20 years ago. The lexan was now opaque from scratches, had turned green from the moulds growing in the scratches, and was pressing upon the leaded glass windows. The temporary fix for a few broken panes was probably expensive and certainly has led to a deterioration of all the windows of the church. The present perceived colour of the windows is significantly different from the original or without the lexan as it now is. > I'd suggest that you listen to the person, and apply common sense and a critical appreciation of what time might do to any application.

Why not tempered glass, it won't cloud up? yes it becomes scratched, and in damp climates, it becomes green with mould. Secondly, there may be no immediate effects from the inside, but it is very unsightly from the outside. The Lexan deforms and provides an odd reflection to the external viewer. If you look at leaded windows from the outside, the lead matrix provides a mysterious and often pleasing abstract pattern of lines which blend with the surrounding building. If the church is one of plate glass appearance, the Lexan will blend in very well. > Steve -- Steve Richard Verrier Art Glass Ltd s.richard@verrier-scotland.demon.co.uk ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Fri Dec 17 15:16:07 1999 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 13:37:51 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #14 built 1999-Dec-14) X-Path: verrier-scotland.demon.co.uk!s.richard From: Steve Richard To: Joseph Augusta Subject: Re: Best dead-on colors?

I'm not at all sure what you might mean by "dead-on" colours. But from the rest of your requirements it seems you might just want a glass that is dead - without movement, sparkle or any of the other imperfections that make glass such an interesting medium. Translucent colours usually result from opalescence added to the colour, so it will not transmit a "clear" unmodified colour anyway. Without texture, the glass has no life (e.g. Spectrum smooth cathedrals). If you want unblemished smooth glass the people to give it to you are Spectrum with their smooth glasses, usually cathedral. All other interesting glasses (such as Lamberts, St Just, Sunderland, Desag, and Tatra, as Casimir is called over here) have textures, striations, seeds/bubbles, and variations in thickness. These have a range of colours to die for, each having a subtle variation of tone across the sheet (except Desag which is exactly uniform in colour and thickness). Hope I don't seem too dogmatic. I don't understand the terms you have used, namely: >best translucent (does this mean clear coloured window glass, or opalescent glass?) >dead-on, (not a term that conveys much to me, being of a certain age) >solid color (does this mean a single colour throughout the sheet?) >no texture (I take this to mean smooth without markings, seeds, bubbles, or variations in thickness?) In some respects it seems you want coloured film applied to float glass, since that provides solid colour without texture (or life in my opinion) Please write back with clarifications, and I will be more serious.

It puts the images down on PC formatted 3 1/2" floppy disks, at various file sizes, and does very nice close up work. I opted for the Sony for a couple of reasons. First, Sony is the only one that puts the images on floppy disks (since they invented that floppy drive, they're the only one incorporating it into their cameras). Secondly, I opted for the higher end camera, because of it's close up ability (14X zoom lens), which does allow for good close up work of smallish items. Third, simplicity. I don't need any other peripheral device to hook into my system! Don't want no memory stick docking stations, nor serial hook ups, just shove in a disk and go to town! I run a Mac, and while the disks are formatted for PC's, Power Mac's can read that disk just fine. I like it very well, it's got enough resolution for high end printing, and I can reformat the disks, which allows me to reuse the same disks over and over, cutting costs, and keeping things a bit simpler. The image quality is good, the physical size of the images are huge, but only at 72 dpi. But, when you scale them down, you get the benefit of all of those pixels, if you should need them. Coupled with PhotoShop, I believe this Mavica FD-91 and a personal computer, can produce excellent results, with minimal hassles. The MPEG movie concept is interesting and fun to play around with, but I don't use it that much. Opt for the best model you can afford, and I think you'll be better served. I have a friend who got a far less expensive camera, and she has fits getting the images into her computer, trying to pony up the costs for those memory sticks, and she doesn't get that good a resulting image! Of course, she's envious of my Mavica, and wishes she'd spent the money for the better camera, because it would carve hours off her time to produce her image files. Just one fellow's perspective.

Does this change a >>lot of options? Sure does. Just about any low end digital camera will produce excellent images for a computer screen. 72 dpi (dots per inch) is fine. For printing, 200 dpi is needed. More than this is necessary for high end work only. Cameras that take high dpi pictures are useful for making large images which are rarely necessary for anything to be displayed on a computer screen. If you really want to save money while you learn get one of the reconditioned Kodak monitor cams for about $80.00. Saves buying a $50.00 tripod for an expensive hand held camera.

Everyone should mark their calendars. It will be the Last Lunar Harrah of the Millennium. This year will be the first full moon to occur on the winter solstice, December 22, commonly called the First Day of Winter, in 133 years. Since the full moon on the winter solstice will occur in conjunction with a lunar perigee, the point in the moon's orbit that is closest to Earth, the moon will appear about 14 per cent larger than it does at apogee, the point in its elliptical orbit that is farthest fromthe Earth. The Earth is also several million miles closer to the sun than inthe summer, and sunlight striking the moon will be about 7 per centstronger making it brighter. Also, this will be the closest perigee of the Moon of the year,since the moon's orbit is constantly deforming. In layman's terms, it will be a super bright full moon, much morethan the usual AND it hasn't happened this way for 133 years. > > If the weather is clear and there isn't a snow cover where you > > live, it is believed that even car headlights will be superfluous. > > Our ancestors 133 years ago saw this.

You might also try a little less. Some glass is sensitive to scoring too hard. Another thought: Is your work area cold? Glass cuts infinitely better when it's warm. We've got an oil-filed space heater (the kind that looks like a radiator) in the shop, and it's great for warming up your glass before you cut. I've also used a plain old heating pad (the kind you can get at any drug store).

With no one to feed him preconceptions that this or that technique is difficult or "impossible," too advanced for his skill level, or whatever, he was able to go ahead and do what he saw in his mind's eye. There are lots of folks in this world whose learning processes are so internal and subconscious that they seem odd or even magic to an outside observer. Or their "internal logic" doesn't run along the expected lines - the y "process the process itself" differently. People who have those learning and working styles tend to do well by teaching themselves - often far better than when they're taught by someone else, because the teacher's logic confuses them, or the teacher's process is running at the wrong pace for them ("too slow" is every bit as problematic as "too fast"!). As one of those oddly-wired people (for instance, most right-handed people "put the shirt on the hanger"; I "put the hanger in the shirt" - and as a result, all the clothes in my closet are hanging "backwards" - facing right instead of left...... I also thread needles not by putting the end of the thread through the eye of the needle, but by slipping the eye of the needle over the end of the thread. Wotthehell, it works for me!), I don't learn well by "being taught." I learn best by jumping in and *doing* the real thing right off the bat, getting my hands on things and observing and absorbing the way things are done with an absolute minimum of explanation, having the freedom to develop ways of working that make sense to the way my mind/body logic works and enable me to get the job done - and after all, it's the result that counts!

Lately we've been slogging through a box of the grungiest, cruddiest, skankiest lead in God's universe. Cleaning the stuff has been impossible - even if you take a razor knife and scrape the spots you're going to solder, they seem to crud up again almost immediately. (Turning up the iron and trying to "burn" through the crud, which almost always works for me, was a total bust too - if anything, it made matters worse.) I finally got some decent looking joints by scraping one, fluxing it *immediately* with Nokorode paste flux, and using 60/40 solder and an iron that's just hot enough to thoroughly melt the solder. (Needless to say, the day we see the end of that case of lead, I think I'm going to bust out crying from sheer relief!)

I spent about $70 a year or so ago on Norton Utilities, which *includes the Virus Scanner, but gives you so much more. Any time a *real virus shows up in the online world, Norton sends its registered users an email notice that a *real one's been detected.

Nerds? Yeah, you bet. The e-mails were stacked by the modem with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. The newbies were nestled all snug by their screens, While visions of Java danced in their dreams. My wife on the sofa and me with a snack, We just settled down at my rig (it's a Mac). When out in the Web there arose such a clatter, I jumped to the site to see what was the matter. To a new page my Mac flew like a flash, Then made a slight gurgle. It started to crash!! I gasped at the thought and started to grouse, Then turned my head sideways and clicked on my mouse. When what to my wondering eyes should appear, My Mac jumped to a page that wasn't quite clear. When the image resolved, so bright and so quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick! More rapid than mainframes, more graphics they came, Then Nick glanced toward my screen, my Mac called them by name; "Now Compaq! Now Acer!", my speaker did reel; "On Apple! On Gateway!" Santa started to squeal! "Jump onto the circuits! And into the chip! Now speed it up! Speed it up! Make this thing hip!" The screen gave a flicker, he was into my "Ram", Then into my room rose a full hologram! He was dressed in all red, from his head to his shoes, Which were black (the white socks he really should lose). He pulled out some discs he had stored in his backpack. Santa looked like a dude who was rarin' to hack! His eyes, how they twinkled! His glasses, how techno! This ain't the same Santa that I used to know! With a wink of his eye and a nod of his head, Santa soon let me know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word, gave my Mac a quick poke, And accessed my C drive with only a stroke. He defragged my hard drive, and added a "Dimm", Then threw in some cool games, just on a whim! He worked without noise, his fingers they flew! He distorted some pictures with Kai's Power Goo! He updated Office, Excel and Quicken, Then added a screensaver with a red clucking chicken! My eyes widened a bit, my mouth stood agape, As he added the latest version of Netscape. The drive gave a whirl, as if it were pleased, St. Nick coyly smiled, the computer appeased. Then placing his finger on the bridge of his nose, Santa turned into nothing but ones and zeros! He flew back into my screen and through my uplink, Back into the net with barely a blink. But I heard his sweet voice as he flew from my sight, "Happy surfing to all, and to all a good byte!" ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Sat Dec 18 20:12:42 1999 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Sat, 18 Dec 1999 19:48:04 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #14 built 1999-Dec-14) X-Path: vnet.net!thomm From: "Tom" To: "glassbungi" Content-Type: text/plain; Subject: Merry KissMoose!

Another great use I found for this camera is when a customer wants a panel done that goes with the rest of the house/area I take quite a few pics of the area, then when I'm done with the job I just nuke em... No wasted film,time sketching stuff etc... Anyway I believe I paid $599 for it... Byron...

I wanted to tell you a little about it. Many of you know that P collects antique glass luminaria. They are, of course, extremely impractical things ..putting glass filled with sand and with burning candles out in the snow...well, there aren't a lot of them to be found anymore, but P has a museum quality collection, many found in the attics of elderly relatives. His, of course, being the rare gms that they are, were arranged along the walkway in glass cases, with Festival light strings replacing the cancles. What beauties. in some of them, you can see the frosting caused by years of use and sand. And there are the newer ones, some of which E made, some blown by Jacques. So the house had a distinctly festive look as one walked up to it. The food and drink. Well, E made her hot buttered rum, which we all know is a favored Festival drink of the itinerant glass workers, and wonderful for warming one's hands when one comes in from the cold. P's mother made the cookies, the stained glass coookies, the pressed cookies with the design of a rose window on them, and the chocolate conconctions...well, some things cannot be adequately described. There were also the traditional sausages, pates, twice-baked potatoes, etc.. This was the night E publicly unveiled her 4-D glass sculpture, which she calls, for some reason "Wings". It cannot be adequately described, as it cannot be completely seen. However P has made a wonderful fluted and lighted display column out of hardwood (the boy has an interesting affinity for sawdust for a glass maker) that makes the whole thing sparkle with unreal (literally) colors. Yes, it was tuned. Now I've seen it in the workshop, where it simply plays slow and quiet music. As wind plays Aeolian flutes, this construction is played by shiftin paradigms. Given the crush of people in the house, it was playing a sprightly air, with overtones of lute and organ, random yet organized. The local music critic was scribbling a review while I was there. Later we sang all the traditional songs, including those last century ditties about food and drink and the comforts of home and hearth, plus the ones that truely celebrate the meaning of Festival, when God saw fit to repair the glass light globes and mirrors to allow the light to multiply so that the people could ward off flood and famine and the whole rest of the story. There were some truely profound moments when the sculpture seemed to sing along. later J amused us all by playing tuned rum glasses, but the sculpture merely pinged along. At the end of the evening, we exchanged suncatchers and lace and candles. P's mother has taken up tatting. I don't know where she finds the time. I really must get some sleep now and let Dorothy regain control of her computer. May the rest of your Festival, no matter how you celebrate it, be joyful. ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Sun Dec 19 17:28:08 1999 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Sun, 19 Dec 1999 17:13:16 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #14 built 1999-Dec-14) X-Path: aol.com!Witchdoc3 From: Witchdoc3@aol.com To: glass@bungi.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Subject: Re: NG-From Santa-My New Contract Date: Sun, 19 Dec 1999 20:12:47 EST Message-ID: <1999Dec20.11247.0> Precedence: bulk In a message dated 12/18/99 1:06:49 PM, ptap@pacifier.com writes: >> 6.

We have all been hoping for this moment, and now that it has arrived, we'd love some more descriptions of it, and maybe some profound thoughts from Emeraldine on the meaning of it all, plus maybe a few practical suggestions for those of us for whom she is an inspiration. - Cec PS - I tried Pierre's suggestion of the puce and passion pink, but was not able to handle the layering correctly. However all was not lost: I desoldered my failure and was able to reuse the puce to make a small 3-D flea which went quickly at the Turkey Days Cider Mill and Glass Shop. Got quite a good price for it, too. Better have - that puce is EXPENSIVE! PPS - I'm just so jealous! I'm getting quite good at 3-D, but 4-D!!! But I'm math phobic, and I just don't think I can accomplish 4-D. I'd be awfully interesting in the tuning scheme used though. I've heard it was based on the penultimute scale? Not too many people can use it well because of the inverted eighth tones. PPPS - I do hope Bungi's conservationists are gathering together the Life and Letters of Pierre and Emeraldine, Snhr. Jay Jay and the rest of the Panesville crowd. I've only just met and known them for 3 or 4 months, so I have missed months or even years of their saga. -- ********************************************************************* * Cecily Taylor Cummings Wood and/or Ralph Bernard Wood * Grendel Studio (Glass, Graphics, Gardens, Genealogy) ********************************************************************* ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Sun Dec 19 19:35:28 1999 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Sun, 19 Dec 1999 19:02:25 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #14 built 1999-Dec-14) X-Path: ix.netcom.com!gunnx4 From: Suzanne Gunn To: Cecily and Ralph Wood Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Subject: Re: (F) - Festival at Emeraldine's and Pierre's Date: Sun, 19 Dec 1999 21:00:58 -0600 Message-ID: <1999Dec19.15058.0> References: <<1999Dec19.155728.0>> Precedence: bulk I just want Emeraldine's old clothes! :o) suzanne > > PPPS - I do hope Bungi's conservationists are gathering together the Life > and Letters of Pierre and Emeraldine, Snhr.

Surprised the smoke detector didn't go off - (hmmm wonder if I changed the battery at the end of daylight savings time?). Elisabeth brought over the tallow candles from England and gave each of us a small bit to use in class. I liked that and brought some back from my visit to James Hetley in London. It really is tallow, make like a candle without any wick. You just rub a bit on and solder. There was a slight cooking odor (like a good roast in the oven) but not nearly as much odor as that new Canfield stuff which I thought had a very chemical smell.

The wax component makes it a bit harder to clean from a foiled piece. You can make your own by melting together a 50/50 mix of fresh beef or pork fat and beeswax. Cool and form into thick pencil shapes. The wax is there to stiffen the fat so use more or less as necessary. In an emergency a piece of fresh fat cut from most any meat will do for a flux. Just gently rub on the area to be soldered. It does not smell so good hot but seems to produce a very smooth solder joint/seam.

Anybody know? - Cec First, I don't think you can equate oleic acid and tallow. the first is a chemical preparation, even if from organic products. the second comes from a rendering of animal fats. Second, The "you can't ....." kind of statement is suspect unless there is a reason given. There is no reason why tallow would not work on copper foil if it will work for other soldering processes (and it does, I assure you). I don't use it on copper foil, although I do for all other soldering, just because it is easier to use a paste that I can apply thinly. For the same reason I have rejected the liquid fluxes as too messy, running over the whole, or drying up before I've got to that point. Third, experimentation is often a good idea. The use of tallow on a copper foil project is a low risk experiment, since the tallow is easy to clean off with warm water and soap/dish washing liquid. I much prefer writers who say this works for me for this reason, and this doesn't for that reason. Assertions without explanations tend to show a lack of breadth of experience. My opinions of course.

I was planning to use rebar for support. The house is a new construction and I have not installed a window of this size before. Will a 1/2" wide wood trim be enough to hold the window in place?

When I purchased the acid, I asked if it was OK for foil and was given a positive response. Then all this black goo when cleaning. I searched the web for Oleic acid information and found http://www.finnsglass.com.au a local OZ site. They mentioned the product was only for Lead came. So I asked why, and the answer was that it dissolves the foil adhesive. Fits. So now I only use it for came and no more problems. As they says in the US - YMMV.

Looks like there is some pretty good conversation going on here. A little about my self. I have been doing glass for about 4 1/2 years now and have recently opened my own store in Winter Garden Fl. I enjoy making lamps, panels, beads, marbles, slumping and fusing. AS far as the candle stick type of flux goes, I have seen it once at the Moris Museum. It was used during repair work of the large windows from the Worlds Fair Chaple now on display there. It seemed to work pretty good and I noticed no lingering odor. They said they got it from some City Electricions in N.Y. They liked it so much I tried to get them to part with a small sample but they said it was too prescious and couldn't spare any since they didn't know when they would be able to more. My suggestion is try it. If you like it use it. If you don't send it to me. ha ha ha. Well I look forward to hearing from more and more of you and hope I am able to contribute some worth while every now and then.

Tallow candles are likely to be a mixture of various substances. In any case, pure oleic acid is a liquid and since candles are a solid, there must be some high boiling point substances (probably paraffins, long chain hydrocarbons) added in, probably originating either from plants or petroleum (latter is most likely).

Will a 1/2" wide wood trim be enough to hold the window in place?<< ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Tue Dec 21 02:51:14 1999 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Tue, 21 Dec 1999 02:09:31 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #15 built 1999-Dec-20) X-Path: mediaone.net!embee From: "Mary" To: "Joseph Augusta" , "Bungi" Subject: NG:: Other creative outlets?

Believe it or not, my favorite pottery piece isn't wheel thrown or coil built. It's a rectangular plate, edged in black and white checkerboard, upon which I made and attached bits and pieces of food (rice, carrots and beans) and a fork and knife (out of clay, of course, not "real"). The food is spread on the plate as you would see after a meal. It hangs on my breakfast wall and every time I look at it, I still chuckle.

A good friend is a sheep farmer and I know they have rendered there own sheeps tallow in the past. I do not know if they have any left or if they are willing to do it again. So I am not promissing anything, I just want to know if there is interest before I ask them. Also, would any of you have any idea how much you would be willing to pay for sheeps tallow (which at least for candles is one of the highest quality tallows available from farmed animals). I know this friend complains about the waste of throwing all that sheep fat away after they butcher. If they thought there might be a market for the tallow in the future, they might be a lot more likely to render some now and send out free samples for people to try. (Just so you know, rendering tallow is a very time consuming and smelly process. So they may be a little hesitant to just try it on a whim.) Also, even if they are interested, I am not sure it will be immediate. I wish this discusion had come up about five weeks ago. That was butchering time and we are a little late now. If they have already disposed of the fat we are all going to be out of luck for another year. Despite all this, please answer if you think you might be interested. That way I can pursue it with good information in hand. ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Tue Dec 21 15:32:09 1999 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Tue, 21 Dec 1999 14:33:14 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #15 built 1999-Dec-20) X-Path: ix.netcom.com!gunnx4 From: Suzanne Gunn To: glass@bungi.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Subject: re: other outlets Date: Tue, 21 Dec 1999 16:31:26 -0600 Message-ID: <1999Dec21.103126.0> Precedence: bulk Oops...

It was the ONLY thing available to me when I first learnt. It is widely available at most glass merchants here. And yes, I took about 12-15 sticks out with me to USA for people to try and ended up having to ration them by cutting them up. I'll be happy to send some more to any of you I met while in USA to replenish what you have used up. I was also looking in ALL catalogs I could lay my hands on to see if tallow candles (as I know them) were available in USA and found only one supplier (which I wrote down SOMEWHERE...?) who had something approaching tallow sticks. The tallow we use, are just that; no beeswax or other chemicals added. They look just like a household candle without the wick, slightly yellow, and as Steve pointed out, they are slightly crumbly. I have not noticed that they smoke or smell. And yes they are easy to wash off the lead - often I can even just pick it off. It's easy to apply, just rub on gently over the joint. A small bit lasts a long way. A whole stick costs about USD.1.50. I have also used it for copper foil and have not noticed that it dissolves the adhesive backing. The backing - in any case, surely - is only there to help you work the c/f round the glass. I would not have thought that it had any structural purpose. The adhesive would become fairly defunct the minute you apply the hot soldering iron, ....no? Anyhow, tallow works for copperfoil also. The only reason why it should smell and smoke is if you put too much on. A gentle once- over rub is all that is needed. Another advantage with tallow is that it doesn't spit as liquid/gel fluxes do when you apply the iron.It's also quicker to use, doesn't need any brushes, applicators - ....OR spray bottles (sorry Dani - couldn't resist ;->). You can also see exactly how much you have put on and if you have forgotten a joint The ONLY disadvantage with tallow is that itis greasier and you need to clean your copperfoil work more carefully afterwards (or the patina won't take). On lead it doesn't matter so much, because the whiting helps to get the grease off and the polish I use for cleaning and polishing the lead, has a certain amount of grease in it anyway. Dani, have you still got some tallow left??? Carol? Leonore? .Cecily? ....? I would most certainly recommend tallow and if Tim Attwood has made the offer to have some lambs fat rendered, I would certainly have taken it up, had I lived in the USA. Smell?? No more so than roast lamb.....! Best Wishes Elisabeth 'n Toby in UK Tim, I am too far away to be considered for this, but I would encourage everyone to try tallow out. It is only slightly smoky, has a little smell, and is not known to have any of the drawbacks of chemical fluxes. It cleans easily from leaded projects during the finishing process, and will wash off copper foil projects with warm water and dish washing liquid. It is a great flux and should be widely used. I would have thought a cost comparable to the same weight of chemical fluxes would be appropriate.

December 1999 - 57 Elm Street, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania - 11:51 PM Scully, we're too late. It's already been here. Mulder, I hope you know what you're doing. Look, Scully, just like the other homes: Douglas fir truncated, mounted, transformed into a shrine; halls decked with bows of holly; stocking hung by the chimney with care. You really think someone's been here? Someone, or something. Mulder, over here, It's fruitcake Don't touch it! Those things can be lethal! There's a note attached: "gonna find out who's naughty and nice." It's judging them, Scully. It's making a list. Who? What are you talking about? Ancient mythology tells of an obese humanoid entity who could travel at great speed in a craft powered by antlered servants. Once each year just after the winter solstice, this creature is said to descend from the heavens to reward its followers and punish disbelievers with jagged chunks of anthracite. But that's legend, Mulder, a story told by parents to frighten children. Surely you don't believe it? Something was here tonight, Scully. Check out the bite marks on this gingerbread man. Whatever tore through this plate of cookies was massive-and in a hurry. It left crumbs everywhere. And look, Mulder this milk glass has been completely drained. It gorged itself, Scully. It fed without remorse. But why would they leave it milk and cookies? Appeasement. Tonight is the Eve, and nothing can stop its wilding. But if this thing does exist, how did it get in? The doors and windows were locked. There's no sign of forced entry. Unless I miss my guess, it came through the fireplace. Wait a minute, Mulder. If you're saying some huge creature landed on the roof and came down this chimney, you're crazy. The flue is barely six inches wide, nothing could get through there. But what if it could alter its shape, move in all directions at once? You mean, like a bowl full of jelly? Exactly. ...Scully, I've never told anyone this but when I was a child my home was visited. I saw the creature. It had long white shanks of fur surrounding its ruddy, misshaped head. Its bloated torso was red and white. I'll never forget the horror. I turned away and, when I looked back, it had somehow taken on the facial features of my father. Impossible. I know what I saw. And that night, it read my mind. It brought me a Mr. Potato Head, Scully. It knew that I wanted a Mr. Potato Head. I'm sorry, Mulder, but you're asking me to disregard the laws of physics. You want me to believe in some supernatural being who soars across the skies and brings gifts to good little girls and boys. Listen to what you're saying. Do you understand the repercussions? If this gets out they'll close the X-files. Scully, listen to me: It knows when you're sleeping. It knows when you're awake. But we have no proof. Last year on this exact date, SETI radio telescopes detected a bogey in the airspace over twenty seven states. The white House ordered a condition red. But that was a meteor shower. Officially. Two days ago eight prized Scandinavian reindeer vanished from the National Zoo in Washington D.C. Nobody-not even the zoo keeper was told about it. The government doesn't want people to know about Project Kringle. They fear that if this thing is proved to exist the public will stop spending half its annual income in a holiday shopping frenzy. Retail markets will collapse. Scully, they cannot let the world believe this creature lives. There's too much at stake.. They'll do what ever it takes to insure another silent night. Mulder... Sh-h-h. Do you hear what I hear? On the roof. It sounds like ... a clatter The truth is up there.

Hmmmmm. Could one of the historians in the group put this bankruptcy in a time frame context? If I have learned my history correctly, it seems I recall 1933 to be one of the worst years of the Great Depression. I'd love a list of other prestigous firms which also were forced under by the depression, just to see if I'm right in thinking that the glass company was a victim of the economic hardships of the times.

I've fed, cleaned, and cuddled my two children on demand, visited the doctor's office more than my doctor, sold sixty-two cases of candy bars to raise money to plant a shade tree on the school playground and figured out how to attach nine patches onto my daughter's girl scout sash with staples and a glue gun. I was hoping you could spread my list out over several Christmases, since I had to write this letter with my son's red crayon, on the back of a receipt in the laundry room between cycles, and who knows when I'll find anymore free time in the next 18 years. Here are my Christmas wishes: I'd like a pair of legs that don't ache after a day of chasing kids (in any color, except purple, which I already have) and arms that don't flap in the breeze, but are strong enough to carry a screaming toddler out of the candy aisle in the grocery store. I'd also like a waist, since I lost mine somewhere in the seventh month of my last pregnancy. If you're hauling big ticket items this year I'd like a car with fingerprint resistant windows and a radio that only plays adult music; a television that doesn't broadcast any programs containing talking animals; and a refrigerator with a secret compartment behind the crisper where I can hide to talk on the phone. On the practical side, I could use a talking daughter doll that says, "Yes,Mommy" to boost my parental confidence, along with one potty-trained toddler, two kids who don't fight, and three pairs of jeans that will zip all the way up without the use of power tools. I could also use a recording of Tibetan monks chanting, "Don't eat in the living room" and 'Take your hands off your brother,' because my voice seems to be just out of my children's hearing range and can only be heard by the dog. And please don't forget the Playdoh Travel Pack, the hottest stocking stuffer this year for mothers of preschoolers. It comes in three fluorescent colors and is guaranteed to crumble on any carpet making the In-laws' house seem just like mine. If it's too late to find any of these products, I'd settle for enough time to brush my teeth and comb my hair in the same morning, or the luxury of eating food warmer than room temperature without it being served in a Styrofoam container. If you don't mind I could also use a few Christmas miracles to brighten the holiday season. Would it be too much trouble to declare ketchup a vegetable? It will clear my conscience immensely. It would be helpful if you could coerce my children to help around the house without demanding payment as if they were the bosses of an organized crime family; or if my toddler didn't look so cute sneaking downstairs to eat contraband ice cream in his pajamas at midnight. Well, Santa, the buzzer on the dryer is ringing and my son saw my feet under the laundry room door. I think he wants his crayon back. Have a safe trip and remember to leave your wet boots by the chimney and come in and dry off by the fire so you don't catch cold. Help yourself to cookies on the table, but don't eat too many or leave crumbs on the carpet. Yours Always...Mom PS One more thing...you can cancel all my requests if you can keep my children young enough to believe in Santa. ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Wed Dec 22 23:34:07 1999 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Wed, 22 Dec 1999 23:11:30 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #15 built 1999-Dec-20) X-Path: home.com!cecnralph From: Cecily and Ralph Wood To: Gail HeinzeMiline , Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; x-mac-type="54455854"; x-mac-creator="4D4F5353" Subject: Re: Light Tables Date: Thu, 23 Dec 1999 02:08:20 -0500 Message-ID: <1999Dec22.21820.0> References: <<1999Dec22.512.0>> Organization: Grendel Studios Precedence: bulk I use a Morton Board on the top of mine - draw on it when the flat side is up, and cut on it when the grid side is up.

I do not have the bevelers mark myself, nor am I likely to get it (one can't do everything) but I can appreciate that fellow Vincent Fox, what he did, and how he went about it. I especially like the following passage. <<<<<<<<<<<<< Dad's philosophy in glass was the same as in life: always do your best. If it needs to be redone, then re-do it. Don't compromise, don't give into "that's good enough." Work until you have produced your best effort. Remember how impressed you've been to see a woodworker's craft as beautifully executed on the inside as on the outside. This is the mark of a true craftsman. >>>>>>>>>>>>> Though he expressed it differently, this is similar to my own way of doing things (as my former students can testify). I was kind of known as a "hard ass", , back in the days when I was a prof. "Do it right, the first time and everytime, or get out of my lab and go somewhere else. There are too many things going on and too little time to do it to put up with sloppy work. Sloppy work wastes time because the work has to be redone, and time is the most valuable thing in the known universe since no one can buy more time." ... I said all that very often. I'm still that way. Also, the following ...... <<<<<<<<<<<< Dad firmly believed in a solid foundation. Study the past, study the history of stained glass and read, read, read. Glean all you can from the work that has gone before you, hold it in high esteem, but remember that the "old timers" made mistakes, too. Seek them out and improve upon them, don't blindly repeat them. "Because that's the way it has always been done," is not, in itself, a good reason to do it that way. Question everything, test everything, listen and learn. Then proceed, knowing you can only flourish if you are always open to learning. >>>>>>>>>>>> .... is indicative of a very good attitude. I would add that, especially in a craft like glassworking, things are done the way they are for a reason, usually because things actually WORK when done in the "time-tested" manner ... and one should find out what that reason is. With so many new materials, methods, and machines available now, that reason may no longer be valid, there may be (sometimes are) better ways of doing things, but one needs to know what the reason for doing things the old way is BEFORE one tries to do things in a new way. [As an aside, I note that in the last round of the Great Bandsaw Debate there were many replies, some quite impassioned (and rather misguided IMO), though, as I predicted, no one changed their mind on the subject. Perhaps we should drop the subject entirely for the foreseeable future?] **************************** Bob ... I have no doubt that you are an excellent worker, certainly you know a lot of things about glassworking. You express yourself well with language, clear and succinct. You seem to be a patient but demanding type of fellow. Now that your own teacher is gone, maybe its your turn to step up to the plate and teach some others how its done? I'd bet cash money you'd be an excellent teacher (and this is coming from a former teacher), particularly on a 1-1 basis. Just an idea/suggestion ... maybe you're already doing this. Best regards to you ... and Happy holidays to all the Bungians. May the Maker of the Universe fill your spirit with life and illuminate your home with light now and always.

As I understand it, a diamond coated wire several inches long saws glass by moving up and down. It can be threaded through a hole to start cutting. Having less working surface than band or ring saws the new blades will, no doubt, wear out sooner but they are expected to be much cheaper. So, if the great saw debate has kept you on the sidelines, it might be good to wait a bit longer.

You don't have to have the peaks. In fact you shouldn't have. The appropriate technique will leave you with flat soldering on the joints. It relates to a minimum amount of solder to do the job, and the appropriate length of time heat is applied to the joint. Lifting off before the solder has had a chance to "join" with the lead calme, will give peaks. You should see the solder flowing out from under the solder bit, before you lift off the iron. It is much easier to show than to describe (th4e above is not an attempt to describe!). I am looking forward to the replies you get on this one.

When you weld metals together you want 'penetration'. A cold weld does not penetrate and just remains on the surface and looking at it you would think it was 'strong', it isn't. I think a weak solder joint would be one that had little penetration. Looks good, but I think it would be weak. A better 'solution' could be a more even slightly elevated mound of solder which would hold a lot better.

I love my Hegner and wouldn't ever think of doing wood work and now glass without it. Hegner is sold by Advanced Machinery, in Delaware, USA. My model was priced at about $1100 if I recall correctly. I recently bought some of the diamond saw blades, cost was $19.95 each or thereabouts. These are stainless steel, encrusted with diamonds and the blade itself is 'round' like the wire it's made of. One benefit is that you can reverse the blade to use up more of the upper range that is not cutting all the time. You can also raise your cutting bed to use more of the blade also. Advanced Machinery has a web page, just do a search for Hegner as Advanced Machinery is the sole distributor of that saw in the USA. The motors are water-proof and they have excellent warranties, 6 years I think. This is one saw that you will not sell, and you will have it for life if you take care of it. You do need a water reservoir, they sell them also or you can make your own. You must cut with water to cool the blade.

I was thinking what a nice gift it would be if people on this list, since there are so many newbies out there, would each post one glass tip. I was thinking that each one of us has a little something to share that they never learned in a class, wouldn't read about in a how to manual, or see in a video. For example: Using a mousepad to burnish, I do that all the time now, I loved that tip! Or the one recently that someone said they use a spray bottle for flux. That kind of stuff. So how about it folks have you got some real handy tips for all us hobbyists, not that the professionals wouldn't use some of these tips. Ok I'll start- I posted this a while back and some people objected but it works for me. Lay a rag across the back of the grinder ( mine has the plastic guard) so that the water doesn't splash all over. THen just hang the rag to dry, no mess, no fuss.

A Montage of Tips or (Glass Hints a la Heloise) ---------------------------------------------------------- I use the spongy backed Rubbermaid shelf liner (hard to find) to cut on. I've found that when taking foiled works apart, Mineral Spirits are the best solvent for removing the gook. One of the new soy based gunk removers (like SoyGold) is a good additive to your wash water as a solvent if you have used Conract paper or glue stick on the glass. Petroleum Jelly spread over a paper pattern or a felt-tipped ink line helps keep the paper or line from washing away when grinding, sawing, etc. It is WAY cheaper than buying the special compound designed to do that. (I'm willing to bet it is a beeswax mixture and it's too hard to spread well.) You can cut your foiling time by at least half using one of the standing foilers like the Diegel. You still have to be careful , and some deep inside curves have to be done by hand. If you have an Inland (no longer being sold - with good reason), you can vastly increase it's usability by widening the opening at the front where the glass goes. I used my ring saw and chewed a curve on the two inside and front edges. The curve is mostly vertical although I also rounded the top and bottom edges. This makes it much easier to insert the glass between the "fingers". If you have a Diamond Laser 3000 band saw (probably will work on other makes and models), I cut a small square of sponge, wet it, and squeeze it behind the blade so it expands on both sides of the cutting band, and it also nestles up to the drip spigot. I find this helps keep an even flow of water, and it wipes the blade clean so it doesn't carry so much glass powder up into the works. There is a sponge called (I think) The Swiss Sponge. It has holes all over it. When wiping your solder iron on it, any remaining solder falls in the holes, instead of fusing to the sponge or burying itself inside the sponge. When you are done, lift up the sponge and the majority of the solder drops are there ready to be placed in your recycling. By the way, anybody know of a supplier? Nobody near me carries it. - Cecily Debbie T wrote: > I learned this tip from someone on the list some time back. I keep my grinder > sponge damp with a water IV. My dad was hospitalized this fall.

I'm so excited... My tip: Use an accordion-style folder divided into sections to transport glass, or store larger pieces of a project that you're working on. The paper is sturdy enough so the glass won't cut through it, and the dividers keep the pieces of glass from rubbing against each other, and any little shards fall down to the bottom and do no harm (you can dump them out eventually). For the little bitty pieces of glass, use envelopes (#10 size or 9x6) and carry them in the file, too. Merry Christmas. ....Bethanie....

I use old leather gloves to protect my fingers from the heat when soldering decorative twisted wire or assembling small leaded pieces (like heads or halos on angels) to 3D patterns (or anywhere the heat travels quickly). The leather gloves are fitted and so are not bulky and are easier than trying to hold/balance the wire in my pliers. Also, since I live in Texas and do not go through a lot of gloves, I found some very nice ones at Berman's on an after Christmas special for $1.99/pr. Each glove lasts for years. Hope this helps.

But the greatest benefit of a foiler is that it allows you to center the glass on the foil - or off-center with the Diegel - using reasonable care MUCH faster than by hand. I left the "fingers" there because when my husband offers to help, he needs that extra guidance it gives. I just flip them up out of the way when I use it. I tried the little hand held ones, and they were more bother. Plus one of the common sizes always offsets the glass a tad.

I feel like my time is wasted when I'm just sitting there, so I have found a way to work on some of my glass. I foil during sports practices and in the back of boy scout meetings. (I always foil things by hand.) I've sold a couple of items since people start conversations asking about what I'm doing. I keep a small, sturdy cardboard box in the car with the envelopes from my developed photographs carrying small pieces to foil. The envelopes are sturdy and usually have a flap that sticks and sticks again to seal the envelope. I keep my fid in the box as well as a pair of scissors. The foil rolls are kept in zip lock baggies with a corner cut out to feed the roll through. This really has helped make non-productive time turn productive!

To keep my roll of foil rolled up while foiling, I twist a bread bag twistie thing around the roll. You can easily slide the twistie around the roll as you need to let out more foil.

I use my Morton cutting board under my grinder, it catches the water that spills and I can bring it right to the laundry sink to spray off and drip dry. To keep my scraps of glass organized, I have several shoe box size plastic containers, one for each group of colors. They stack nicely on one shelf.

I also have used the dremel with a pad attached to it similar to a "scotch brite" to clean up zinc before applying the patina... again very minimal effort required and quick results! Has anyone ever used the "luster brush"?! If you haven't YOU NEED TO!! This has been by far the best investment I have made! It is about a 6" diameter round brush that you attach to a drill. Buffs up, and blackens lead lines like there is no tomorrow!! Cuts the buffing by hand time down to seconds!!! No muscle cramps in hands/arms. Truly unbelievable! Shears ever get gunked up when cutting patterns out of contact paper? Try putting a little oil on each of the blades.

Looking forward to your inputs. Connie< Boy, Connie - you've asked a ton of really good questions. Let me see if I can be of any help, since my studio designs and fabricates panel inserts all the time. Brass and lead came. Since your client asked for "black lines" you will definately be using lead came rather than brass. Yes, there is a major difference between the cames. The most obvious differences are color and difficulty in cutting/shaping. Lead came is a soft pewter or black color and is MUCH easier to work with (i.e. cutting and shaping around bevel clusters). Brass came is usually lead came with brass plated on the outside. It is very difficult to cut and bend into shapes unless you have an electric chop saw and very strong muscles or came-bending gizmos. Here in my studio we have the chop saw, and use our muscles (and sometimes judicious use of a hammer and wood jigs) to bend brass came. When given a choice, I opt for lead every time, since it is so much easier to work with. Get yourself a good quality lead dyke or two and you can simply snip the lead. Or you could do this in copper foil and then black patina the solder lines. Either way will give the client her "black lines". When doing a copper foil panel, just use the regular foil shears for cutting out the pattern pieces. Temporarily tape together your bevel cluster and place it on top of your pattern. Then trace around it. Cut out the pattern as per normal and create your panel. If you will be working with lead, the solder joints will eventually end up matching the lead after you've completed the puttying and whiting and polishing stages. Don't worry about trying to make the solder joints match - they will do so automatically if you've done your puttying/whiting/polishing correctly. How to measure for bevels & came..... Firstly, measure the glass area. When working with cabinet inserts you measure the inside of the cabinet door where the panel will reside. Don't be fooled by just measuring the visible area when viewing the panel from the front. It's the inside measurements that count. OK, you've done that. Let's say you're working with an 11 3/4" wide by 23 1/2" tall area. The next thing you have to do is find out how wide the inside heart of your came is. Most lead came is 1/16" thick in the heart. This is important to know, as you will be subtracting the heart thickness from your measurements, so that your design doesn't "grow" during construction. So...let's assume you are using standard lead "H" came with a 1/16" heart and face width of 3/16". Subtract 3/8" from each dimension. This will take care of the outside lead perimeter around your panel. Width: 11.75 (panel width) - .375 (lead face width x 2) =3D 11.375 (11 3= /8) Height: 23.5 (panel height) - .375 (lead face width x 2) =3D 23.125 (23 1= /8) OK - how many of what size bevel do you need to fill up that space? Keep in mind that there will be 1/16" worth of lead came space between each bevel piece. Let's say you're going to do some bevel cluster in the middle that is 9" wide and 19" tall. And you would like a nice border of straight bevels around it. Ah, but what sized bevels? How much room do you have to play with for the border, taking into account the center bevel cluster's size? Subtract the bevel cluster's dimensions from the revised panel's dimension, and this will give you a clue as to what width bevel to use. Then divide that by 2, since you want an equal number of inches on each side. Don't forget to also subtract an extra 1/16" from this figure, as you will need another piece of lead to hold each bevel border piece. Width: 11.375 - 9 =3D 2.375 (this is the overall area you have to work wi= th) 2.375 / 2 =3D 1.1875 (this is the area per side) 1.1875 - .0625 =3D 1.125 (this is the area minus the lead width) Length: 23.125 - 19 =3D 4.125 4.125 / 2 =3D 2.0625 2.0625 - .0625 =3D 2 So, it looks like you're going to have to go with a 1" wide straight line= bevel, since that's the one closest to each calculation without going ove= r it. Next you need to figure out how many of which length of these 1" wide bevels you'll need. Take the revised panel's length and width and divide them until you have something that allows you to create a nice looking border without having to cut the bevels or grind them excessively= From owner-glass Mon Dec 27 10:57:24 1999 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Mon, 27 Dec 1999 10:38:41 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #15 built 1999-Dec-20) X-Path: compuserve.com!GreerStudios From: Dani Greer To: "INTERNET:Kauriee@aol.com" Content-Type: text/plain; Subject: Tips Date: Mon, 27 Dec 1999 13:37:51 -0500 Message-ID: <1999Dec27.83751.0> Precedence: bulk Message text written by INTERNET:Kauriee@aol.com > What a great idea about sharing our tips!

Date: Mon, 27 Dec 1999 16:40:15 EST Message-ID: <1999Dec27.214015.0> Precedence: bulk Hi Connie, You have quite a job in front of you, with little lead or multiple bevel experience! And my help here, to answer your questions, won't be much....but here goes! Measure the opening for this piece as you would for any construction method - from it's installation side. The actual final size of your piece will not change whether the piece is foiled or leaded. What will be different will be the "glass" or cutting size. You must account for the perimeter metal that you use...if a flat 1/2" "H" channel surrounds the piece, then you would subtract 1/4" all the way around to determine that glass line. I would recommend the brass-capped lead instead of brass, as it can be bent (although not easily) without much crimping, around the glass shapes, depending on the size of the curves. This can be purchased through glass suppliers. The heart of this came will determine the space between pieces, but I have found it to be the same as most of the lead I use. Determine your center, and lay out your bevels on the pattern, allowing enough space between bevels for the thickness of the heart of the came....do not depend on the pattern that comes with the bevel clusters, if you are using packaged clusters. I use a gold oil-based paint pen to touch up the solder joints to match, but another bungi member gave us a tip a while ago of using gold spray paint sprayed into a container, and then using a fine point paint brush to color those joints. Brass is more difficult than lead in that it is not as pliable. I am not crazy about it, and usually convince customers that the look of lead is more authentic, so I don't use it very often. If your customer mentioned that she "may want black lines instead", then I would make very sure of her wishes before beginning this project. And lead does not need a "lead patina" as the putty process will deepen the color of the lead and solder, as well as strengthening the panel. The copper foil choice is a personal one, and very dependent on the design and size of your panel, neither of which was mentioned in your post. It will not change the finished dimension of your panel, just the spacing of your design elements. I cannot advise on pricing, except to say it should be determined by a mulitude of factors...the size (square footage), degree of detail of the piece, cost of materials, etc. If you can search through the bungi archives, there have been many threads on pricing, and some formulas were given, which might help. I wish you luck, Connie, and hope this has helped a bit. I'm sure there will be other posts with more info for you.

I charge $20.00 a square foot extra for projects with brass came that is bent. There is only so much bending that can be done with brass came and it is more time consuming. I recommend that anyone who wants to work with brass came do a test project first to allow them to get an understanding of what they are getting into. No reasonable amount of dialog will substitute for hands on experience. The cheapest way to cut brass came is with a miter box and a fine tooth (32 teeth to the inch) hacksaw blade.

To answer some points I wasn't clear on. The door is in the house and used to have a stained glass panel in it that "broke" and she is wanting clear bevel design "of some sort" put in its place. Not sure if she wants a cluster or not. Thanks for the tip on building codes. Don't know why that slipped my mind but it did. Does the cluster come with everything? Or will you have to design the surronding glass and send it out to be beveled? HMMMM-not sure what you are asking here?? I don't think the buyer had any specifics in mind of designs or clusters. I think it was just what they had seen recently in the Home Depot/Lowes prefab doors and windows. I should think a glass panel like that would be from $1500 to $2500. You might better sell her an already done beveled door and get the markup as your sales commission. Where would I get such a panel?? And Skip-Thanks for the "get it in writing" All those basic things that leave us when starting out. Christie and Ann- Wow-thanks for the detailed explanations of measuring. I am sure I will have more questions as I lay this out. I am a very one-sided visual person and I am going to print these messages to help me through. Since I have not done any lead work for a very long time (20 years) any tips on this process would be helpful. You all have convinced me to not use the brass came for now but I will do a practice piece to get the hang of it. Thanks to all who replied!!

Make sure you keep enough water in your grinder. The water really does a great job of collecting glass dust and trapping it in the pan. Not to mention cooling your glass and bit as well as cleaning your bit. On the other hand you can never been to careful. So if you are going to wear protection be sure you use a resporator, and make sure it fits you properly. Paper masks do little to offer protection because the don't fit. (One size never fits all) Also make sure that it is rated to absorb lead fumes. Might as well kill two birds with one stone.

Welcome to Bungi-land! There are about 12 active and some-time-active Bunginians in UK. I notice that Brian (Shepherd in Cornwall?) has already been in touch with you. We are spread all over the country. I myself am based in Hertfordshire, and you may have gathered that I am recently back from 2 months across the width and breadth of USA, having met an awful many of the Americans on the Bungi-list. Tell us more about yourself; where are you based, what are you doing etc etc..... I suspect that you may possibly be fairly new to stained glass, as you otherwise might have sussed out the fair handful of stained glass artists and suppliers that are on the WEB in UK. The largest, oldest, best and doyen of suppliers, James Hetley & Co have an excellent web-site at http://www.hetleys.co.uk, for instance, as does Elizabeth & Sam Law of Bournemouth Stained Glass; Norfolk Stained Glass have also a site (where you will find the URL to Bournemouth S.G.), as do Kansa Glass. It's worthwhile having a look at various suppliers and artists link pages to explore further UK contacts and supplies. Tempsford has one too, which I (and others) find somewhat overbearing, inaccurate and arrogant.... but that's another story. Ah, yes, you certainly will need a LOT of spare cash to go there :-< You may like to join in the adventures of the USA trip and meet some of the people face to face as it were on the E-Tour Web-site, that Pamela Burns-Tappan set up at http://members.xoom.com/GlassArt1/photos.htm Best Regards Elisabeth 'n Toby in UK (Hertfordshire) anyone in the uk want to get in touch. email me ---- As my grandmother said "...there is only nobility of mind" North Lights Stained Glass - homepage http://www.netlink.co.uk/users/kris/northlights/index.htm ---- ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Tue Dec 28 10:38:10 1999 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 09:34:35 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #15 built 1999-Dec-20) X-Path: aol.com!Witchdoc3 From: Witchdoc3@aol.com To: glass@bungi.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Subject: Re: Protection during glass grinding Date: Tue, 28 Dec 1999 12:31:53 EST Message-ID: <1999Dec28.173153.0> Precedence: bulk In a message dated 12/27/99 7:41:19 PM, bobdu@prodigy.net writes: >I am not at all convinced that the WET grinding of glass is much of a >hazard.

And from a great wind and gathering of clouds, a thundering Voice came forth: "I say unto you my child, that, as you foil, so shall you solder." And from below came a voice trembling in awe: "But Great One, I am a klutz--my fingers are as thumbs, my thumbs no more than uprooted stumps!" The Voice then answered thus: "Until such time as you foil as the Angels, your work; though noble and well-intended, remains atrocious; an abomination in my eyes." The acolyte, thus apprised of Heavenly Truth, shouted gleefully: "Ah! Such expertise I need to approach the Heavenly Gates! May you someday find me worthy." The Voice then answered: " Persevere, my lost one, and we shall wait for you as we have awaited countless others." Then the wind died down, and it was quiet --save for the sound, somewhere down below, of copper foil, wound tight, though somewhat gnarled, on art glass.

At least I would guess Emeraldine would have used the second derivative? This would be the more traditional choice for making 4-D puce perceivable by 3-D senses. Though on second thought, a polar transform would be quite beautiful too if Emeraldine is using an infinitely small point source for her 4-D illumination. In fact, the audial portion of such a polar transform as the limit of the illumination source approached zero would be more in keeping with what was described. If this is what Emeraldine used, the notes in the third septave of the puce must have been absolutely transcendent. Either way, I wish I could have been there to perceive it. My imagination is filled to overflowing just thinking of the possibilities. ----- Original Message ----- From: Modiano, Victor To: 'bungi' Sent: Thursday, December 23, 1999 7:39 AM Subject: RE: (F) - Festival at Emeraldine's and Pierre's > > > Puce is just Emeraldine's choice of glass colour for 4-D sculptures. > > ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Tue Dec 28 18:32:48 1999 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 17:43:41 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #15 built 1999-Dec-20) X-Path: holtenwood.bc.ca!tim From: "Tim Atwood" To: "Bungi" Content-Type: text/plain; Subject: Re: Light Tables Date: Tue, 28 Dec 1999 16:36:15 -0800 Message-ID: <1999Dec28.83615.0> References: <<1999Dec22.512.0>> Organization: Holtenwood Studios Precedence: bulk Top: For a stationary light table (i.e. weight does not matter), I have found the following best for my purposes: A permanent top of 1/4 inch clear glass. The permanent top is not frosted. Glass gives the best light transmission with little distortion. It does not yellow. Glass does not flex or bend when working on it. (Believe me, an insufficiently supported sheet of plastic which "cups" under the pressure when scoring a large sheet of glass is a recipe for disaster). Glass is also the most scratch resistant and overall durable surface. Not harmed by hot soldering irons, spilled flux, etc. A removable "disposable" sheet of inexpensive rigid greenhouse plastic (white) laid over the permanent glass top. Available in most home improvement stores. The white translucent type that is sort of like two sheets of plastic with vertical "tubes" or "walls" in between for rigidity. This sort of plastic gives good scattering of the light while the white translucent colour seems to be a fairly good colour balance. (I find I end up replacing the plastic sheet due to damage long before it has a chance to yellow). I find this type of plastic soft and flexible enough to absorb shocks when I am not so careful laying the stained glass down. Yet the underlying glass surface keeps it from cupping when I apply pressure. Soft enough so any slip while scoring does not ruin the cutter. Light enough to just pick up and shake off any small glass chips to clean it. Moderately non-slip so the glass stays put yet smooth enough so I can reposition the glass without it catching or sticking. The slight ripples from the support tubing stop a wet piece of glass from suctioning itself to the surface. The only problem I have ever found is that a soldering iron will melt the plastic, but that is why it is intended to be disposable. When it has become too damaged just spend a few bucks on a new sheet. When exact matching or viewing of the stained glass colour is critical, or when I need more light transmission because of extremely dark glass, I just lift off the removable plastic and lay the stained glass directly on top of the glass top. (Caution - make sure the glass top is clean - glass chips trapped between glass on glass is one of the surest ways to get scratches on the stained glass.) I may also work without the plastic when I am cutting directly on top of a paper pattern. Both the plastic combined with the white paper I use cut the light transmission too much for extremely dark glass. The paper pattern itself has some of the properties of the plastic, so just working with it alone between the stained glass and the glass top is sufficient. Light: I use colour balanced fluorescent tubes. Good scattered light across the entire length of the table. Fluorescent tubes do not generate as much heat as incandescent. Make sure they are truly colour balanced - otherwise you won't be seeing the colours correctly in the glass. My current favorite are Philips Ultra-Lume. These are not full spectrum in the older sense - instead they concentrate the colour spectrum in the bands which the human eye sees best. Because of this they appear to be brighter than standard fluorescents yet still give excellent colour balance. Colour balanced lights come in different "colour temperature" ratings specified in degrees Kelvin. The best way to think of what this means is to visualize heating metal. It first begins to glow red and as it is heated hotter and hotter it glows more and more "white" (or actually more in the blue / violet end of the spectrum). 2500 to 3000 degrees Kelvin is about equivalent to a standard incandescent bulb with most of the light in the lower "red" end of the spectrum with very little blue / violet. 3000 to 3500 is close to a halogen bulb. 4000 to 5000 is "daylight" and is used by many designers for exact colour viewing and matching. However, the 4500 range begins to make people and surroundings look harsh. 5500 to 6000 is equivalent to the "northern sky" lighting valued by painters for exacting colour rendition and absolutely exact colour control. I have two separately switched banks of colour balance tubes in my main light table. One is fitted with 3500 degree Kelvin Philips Ultra-Lume fluorescent tubes. The other with 5000 degree Philips Ultra-Lume. I use the 3500 lights to see how the glass will look with incandescent lights. I use the 5000 degree lights for exact colour matching and colour coordination. I use both together when I need more light for darker glass. I have recently noticed some of the smaller commercial light tables using the "cold cathode" tubes originally designed for digital colour scanners. I would assume they give excellent colour balance with almost no heat output. However, at $40 or more per tube, the cost would seem prohibitive for anything but the smallest light table. At around $10 to $15 Canadian for a four foot tube, the Philips Ultra-Lume fluorescents are a lot more reasonable. Standard Colour balanced fluorescent bulbs work with standard ballasts and tube sockets which I am able to get at many hardware / building supply stores. I do go with better quality ballasts though. The fluorescent bulbs definitely last longer, start cleaner, and have less flicker with a good quality ballast than with the cheapy Chinese made ones I tried once. I also live in a rural area. No one locally stocks more than a couple of colour balanced fluorescents at a time. However, I just asked the local lighting store and they were able to order what I wanted and have them in a day or two. I also sometimes get them from a "wholesale" (contractors) lighting supply in Vancouver where they are about $4 cheaper and always in stock. "Easel": None of my light tables have hinged tops. However, I think the next one I build I will try this. I can see many advantages to a top that tips even just a little. You would want some sort of non-slip surface though to keep glass from sliding off. It seems to me there was quite a discussion about non-slip surfaces and easel type light tables on the list about 6 months ago.

Have you ever looked at the spread spectrum of a standard cool white or warm white fluorescent, let alone a grow light? If you have access to a spectral prism or can get your kid (or a neighbors kid if you don't have one handy) to borrow one from science class, try it. You will see huge gaps in the spectrum where no light is being generated. This means that if any glass you are looking at has colours in this part of the spectr
