The only problem with driftwood is that you may not find the middle holed out & therefore you may need an awfully long drill-bit to drill out the through-hole for the cable ( and the extra weighting materials) With tree-roots that you find naturally in woodlands, the middle bit of the stump is always the softer bit and therefore tends to rot and disintegrate quicker, providing for a ready-made through-hole. The "art" is to find them before the rest of the trunk has become noticably "mulched" combined with a shape that is interesting and suitable for making to stand up; lots of "knobbly" or twisty bits at one end, that could constitute the foot of the base. Happy hunting! Elisabeth 'n Toby (who even likes to carry the wood for me!!) Sarah wrote: What a wonderful idea!

I would also be a good idea to check with current electrical codes and specifications for "portable" lamps.

Most of the "acceptable" to USA standards probably meet Canada standards as well. Most of the bases come from china and I am not sure if they bear he parts approved, assembly approved or any underwriters approval. They are sold by reliable distributors, however.

How about 1 a week (I believe there are currently approx 400 Bunginians), that should keep us going for a few years....;-) I might even offer to set up & keep organised a Bungi-Bio-archive. I myself liked Valerie's Bio tremendeously; I have also "hung-onto" glimpses of a few other people that have struck a chord with me one way or another. And 1/week I think is a good balance to be accepted by eveybody. Allowances to be made - of course - for the "First-Ever-Email" from a Bungi-Newbie, where they do tend to start off with a chunky bit of "Who Am I" (which I think is both polite, inspiring and useful). It's a question of a) if everybody agrees and b) who should set the ball rolling...... I also think it's an excellent idea that the first contributor nominates the second, the second the third... and so on. A quick check first via private e-mail would ensure that the next "nominee" is agreeable. When yes, the contributor can then end his/her contributions with the words. "I nominate X for the next Bio". If the nominee refuses point blank, ask someone else off-group. Blushes spared.... etc. How about numbering them, in case if someone's system "crashes" and they have lost out on someone they particularly wanted to hear about?? More ideas??

But if an item is manufactured, such as a lampbase, a soldering iron, a grinder, etc..then the customer has an expectation of sound manufacture, and certified wiring. Canadian business owners should be aware of this certification requirement, because the consequences of selling uncertified products are VERY severe. The fines are huge and they can even close down your business. The hydro inspectors don't have much of a sense of humor about these things. Also, if you import goods which have electrical components and you don't have them CSA approved and you sell them and they prove defective, start a fire, or whatever, you can be held liable, and I'm not sure if your insurance will cover it. To get around this, you will sometimes see unwired lampbases with wiring sold separately that the customer assembles themselves, this is no problem. In case you were wondering why rheostats, Inland soldering irons and most other cheap irons aren't available in Canada, it's because they won't pass the CSA approval process - it is much stricter than the US safety requirements.

Precedence: bulk I use 2 separate Inland Edgemaster foiling machines which are permanently set up for use according to the size of the foil. I've screwed them down to my counter top in a nice bright corner of the studio where noone bumps into the arms hanging over the counter. When they aren't in use (mostly during tax time and my January vacation!) I place a great big freezer bag over them and run a fat broccoli rubber band around the bottom to keep the foil from getting too exposed. One is just 1/4" foils, and the other is just 7/32" foils. Once in a blue moon I also use my Glastar hand foilers, of which I own one 3/16", one 7/32", & one 1/4". I had to remodel my Edgemaster foilers back to the design of the original Edgemasters by getting rid of the little doohickeys that you're supposed to run the glass through to align it on the wheels. They were made to be flipped up/back if one did not wish to use it, but I NEVER use them and they kept getting in the way! So I undid the screw at the center of the arm, lifted up the top piece with the alignment rigs hinged to it, and slid the alignment guides completely off their little hinge pins. I then took an emery board (fingernail file) and gently filed the paper-separation guides down a bit and VERY slightly rounded them so that they no longer tear or wrinkle up the foil while separating it from it's backing paper. Voila! Back to the original Edgemaster design, or at least close enough to work well... Ciao for now!

The family parakeet was flying around the house. We were all just sitting around chatting. Suddenly, the bird let fly and the hostess looked alarmed. "He missed," I muttered in English, since the bird had been just above me at the time. The hostess' expression changed to one of shock and detestation. I didn't realize why until later, when my German vocabulary had expanded beyond what I'd learned in my high school classes: "missed" sounds like "mist" ... and "mist" is the German word for (no offense ) ka-ka. Very crude word, true, but I was totally innocent. Funny, they never invited us back, now that I think of it. > Another thing I learned was that different trades use the same > phrases to mean wildly different things It may be interesting to know that the meaning and "social acceptability" of certain glass descriptions has changed. A hundred years ago "art glass" was a derogatory term, referring to the low-end windows and door lights available from Sears Roebuck and other outlets like lumber yards. Nowadays, it's the preferred phrase for high-end products.

Dava, under current copyright law, anything you create is copyrighted the instant you make it. It isn't necessary to write "Copyright 1998 Dana [Last Name]," although that makes the fact of its copyright a little more clear to those who don't know the law. If you write "Copyright (c) 1998 Dana [Last Name]," you've made the copyright effective internationally under the Berne Convention. If you want to register the copyright, the Copyright Office of the Library of Congress will send you the forms, which you send in with the $20 fee. (I think it's $20.) The Library of Congress has a web site. You can sue anyone for copying your work whether the copyright is registered or not. If it isn't registered and your copyright is upheld, they can be forced to cease copying your work. If your copyright is registered, you can also collect damages. Hope this is helpful.

I have no idea how much I'll be able to recover or how long it will take to be back up to speed. So I am posting a bio which is more or less resume'.-like some of this is a copy of what I exchanged with Don McDonald and its pretty rough but you'll get the idea. I'm doing it now in case I lose it. I grew up in Brooklyn NY.... my stepfather was a sadist. I ran away from home alot and quit school when I was 16. Joined the army at 17. Spent a couple of great years in the German alps.I was stationed in Oberammergau and I was a dental assistant with a light scheduale. The dentist I worked with was a skier and so was I. We ski bummed all over Europe. Came home a budding counter-culture type. Friend and I took off for S.F. on motorcycles in the *summer of love* Got to Wisconsin and we crashed into each other after riding all night. He was all broken up and was in traction for 3 months..........I scraped my knee. ..... I immediately fell in love with the Mississippi River Valley met some people, found out that I could go to the local State College on the GI bill (already had my GED) and still have money left over. Nine bucks a credit !!!. Met my wife ( a local girl ) been married 29 years 2 sons 17 and 26 live in a little 1400 sg ft ...100 years old house just a good 8 iron shot from the river in a town of 900. After I quit glass ( psoriac arthritis) I tried some different stuff and decided on a new business........ die cut ,shot run, custom image products for the advertising specialties, educational and souvenier markets...... Always wanted to run a factory ( why I'll never know) and will soon be on line. One summer while I was off from attending college, I applied at a local church studio that was looking for repair roadies. I got hired. It was a great experience for me since I loved to travel and I did plenty of it. It wasn't long before I was hooked. I left school and went to work there full time. This was a very traditional studio and I did a full apprentiship. Started out sweeping the floor and unloading glass crates, moved into the mud room, worked up to production cutting and glazing. Then some glass picking and a bit of cartooning. I also spent some time on job sites. After a few years, a position opened up for a new window installer I took it and spent the next five years on the road hanging off very tall ladders and walking around on scaffolding. I was the boss When our second child was born I wanted to get off the road and go back into the studio but it was not to be. I quit and opened up a studio with two friends with plenty of glass experience... we were just starting to make a go of it when the biz was destroyed by fire ...we were not properly insured and never re-opened I went back on the road.......... this time as an independent troubleshooter, restorer and installer. I could control my schedule this way and make more money. A few years go by. I ran into this guy that loved glass and wanted to start a glass factory to make sheet art glass and other glass stuff . We made dalles and blown and cast pieces as well. I jumped on it. I invested as a partner... we made some really neat glass for a few years. I won't bore you with the details but we went elfoldo and I took a financial beating. During this period I had begun to do a little window designing and became fixated with the creative process. I am self taught. I studied everthing I could get my hands on about SG . Read tons of design and color theory stuff. Studied the works of the masters. Read Albert's magazines :-) Made hundreds of sketches. So about 10 years ago I became an independant designer- fabricator working out of a home studio. I knew lots of folks in big church studios and they referred clients to me on a regular bases to do commissions they were not interested in. I had no sign, and did no advertising. It was all word of mouth and referrels From owner-glass Mon Mar 2 14:10:50 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 13:04:48 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #8 built 1997-Jun-19) X-Path: nep.net!jnl From: jnl To: glass@bungi.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Subject: full of questions Date: Mon, 02 Mar 1998 15:57:20 -0500 Message-ID: <1998Mar2.105720.0> References: <<1998Mar2.14250.0>> Precedence: bulk Hello all, I am a newbie (as you will be able to tell from my stupid questions below ) and I was wondering if anyone could advise me on making cabinet doors.

The Model Name was "Silver Mist". And of course, to go AWOL in UK is called to "Take French Leave". The French, took their revenge and call it "To Take English Leave"; Ahh, it's endless (and endless fun!). Elisabeth (in her "other" hat) Albert wrote: Your comment reminded me of an experience I had that parallels your question: A friend of mine and I were visiting some German friends in their home in Berlin (I lived there for three years in the early 60s). The family parakeet was flying around the house. We were all just sitting around chatting. Suddenly, the bird let fly and the hostess looked alarmed. "He missed," I muttered in English, since the bird had been just above me at the time. The hostess' expression changed to one of shock and detestation. I didn't realize why until later, when my German vocabulary had expanded beyond what I'd learned in my high school classes: "missed" sounds like "mist" ... and "mist" is the German word for (no offense ) ka-ka. Very crude word, true, but I was totally innocent. Funny, they never invited us back, now that I think of it. > Another thing I learned was that different trades use the same > phrases to mean wildly different things It may be interesting to know that the meaning and "social acceptability" of certain glass descriptions has changed. A hundred years ago "art glass" was a derogatory term, referring to the low-end windows and door lights available from Sears Roebuck and other outlets like lumber yards. Nowadays, it's the preferred phrase for high-end products. ---- 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 Mon Mar 2 16:23:48 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 15:45:32 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #8 built 1997-Jun-19) X-Path: mwt.net!alcamoz From: "len alcamo" To: Subject: Fw: My bio part 2 Date: Mon, 2 Mar 1998 17:45:48 -0600 Message-ID: <199803022344.RAA16054@westbyserver.westby.mwt.net> Precedence: bulk Things are getting very strange......I sent out the bio post and only part of it made it.

Precedence: bulk Lisa, First I'll address the triangular notch question. It sounds as if you were going to place a square bevel into the corner of a rectangular panel, (and even if you aren't let's use it as an example anyhow, k?) It would need to go something like this: _____ ____ | | | Okay, the first major problem | |____| that you're going to have will be ------- that bottom left inside corner. It | WANTS to break into the larger glass | to relieve the pressure in the glass at such a sharp cut, (hence Mr. Savad's unexplained term "relief cut".) An example of a BETTER way to provide the relief withOUT the stress threatening cracks would be to provide a cut like this: _____ ____ \ | | | only more of a 45 degree angle than I can \| |____| show on the computer, if you get my drift? \------- This would provide you with two 45/45/90 \ | triangles which would fit up against the \ | original larger glass to form the necessary place for the square bevel. Personally, I prefer to do a same-width border in a cabinet panel instead as this would butt up flat against the sides of the square and allow me to use some special glass in smaller quantities which can enhance the pattern or the contents of the cabinet if I'm using clear textures for the pattern glass. Now for the cabinet panel(s) question... What exactly do you need to know? The first suggestion that I would make to you is that you make an EXACT template which you KNOW (by double/triple-checking the fit) fits into ALL the openings that you will have to make panels for. My second recommendation would be for you to have a PERFECTLY square 2 or 3 sided jig in which you will make your panel. Be sure to deduct from the template size to the jig size for whatever type of edge you will be using. If you use zinc came as your edge, you need to know the exact width of the came from the inside (grooved part) to the outside face and the depth at which the glass fits inside of it. You subtract the depth of the groove from the face width, and then subtract THAT from the template size to get your jig size. If you need more clarification on this feel free to ask me, if I've muddled you up even worse that before just hit the delete key and tell me to mind my own doggone cabinet panels! Ciao!

Put your piece back in the mold....put the dislodged glass pieces back where they belong first and don't forget the contact paper. Now, mix some mortar mix really really thin.....kind of the consistency of gravy. Pour this on top until you have 1/4 inch or however much space you have left in your mold...... If your missing chunck is big, you may need to fill that in with a little bit of thicker mortar first. Now leave it TWICE as long as you think you should!!! In my case the soupy mix worked it's way through....acted like glue on the crack and so far so good. The stone has been outside ever since and is just fine. BTW, this made sense to me because if you've ever spilled a little bit of mortar mix on you cement driveway, forgot about it for awhile...and then tried to get it off.....it's close to impossible, so I know it has great adhering properties!!!! Hope this helps!

I start my numbers at the "one o'clock" position and proceed clockwise around the panel, spiraling in to the center. For symetrical panels I often don't use numbers at all, just letters like "TL" for top left, "TM" for top middle, etc. If there are three four or even five pieces that are all distinct enough from one another they can all still be "TL"! Also popular ........TML for top middle left , and on and on, as long as you can understand it yourself.

The hypertext version of this FAQ is available at: http://csgwww.uwaterloo.ca/~dmg/photo/glass/ Basic equipment What is the best camera to take photos of SG work? The quick answer: a camera that allows you to manually set the exposure t= ime and the apperture. Now the long answer. There are many different types of cameras, however, = we will restrict our discussion to two of them. o ``P&S'' (Point-and-shoot). These cameras, as their name implies, req= uire little from the user to take a photograph: point, then shoot. Many different levels of complexity can be found in these cameras. Some o= f them only have a shutter button, while other might have special mode= s for portraits or scenery photography -to name a few. Some have zooms, so= me don't. o ``SLR'' (Single Lens Reflex). Using a sophisticated system, these ca= meras allow you to see ``through the lens''. What you see in the viewfinde= r is what you camera is going to take. These cameras have dismountable le= nses and vary in the amount of automatization they provide; some are true marvels of technology -autofocus system, eye controled features, to = name a few- while others are totally manual -leaving all decisions to the photographer. Most modern SLRs include a manual mode that still allo= ws its operator overall control over the camera. In order to answer the question of which camera, you need to decide what quality you're expecting from your photos. Almost any camera (P&S or SLR)= will take decent photos. Nonetheless, some cameras will do it better than othe= rs. P&S operate on the premise that most photos people take are ``average''. = A shot of your family during a Christmas party or a photo of your last picn= ic are examples of those situations. A good P&S will only measure the amount= of light that enters its lightmeter (cheap P&S don't even have one) and then decide what is the correct exposure based on the film being used. Recent advances in film technology make P&S very reliable. Unfortunately, SG photos are not ``average''. Glass has to be lighted thr= ough in order to show its beauty. Most cameras get fooled when you take photos= of SG. A typical result is darker than real photos. SLRs are also prone to t= his problem if used in an automatic mode. The lightmeter inside these cameras works very similar to that of high-end P&S, and recomends a value for you= r photo considering your situation as average . In order to properly photog= raph the piece of glass you have in front, you will need to override this recommended value. As we have mentioned before, SLRs usually include a manual mode. They all= ow you to replace the lens so you use the best for your application. They le= t you see exactly what the negative is going to record. These features make the= m the best option to photograph SG work. My budget does not allow me to afford a SLR, what do I do? Many SLRs (entry level, second hand) are not too expensive, and, in many cases, are cheaper that some P&S. You have to consider how important, for you, your photos are. For many, p= hotos are a portafolio, ready to be shown to potential clients. Bad photos will deteriorate the perception that your costumer might have of your work. You probably have browsed pattern catalogs. Which ones do you normally fi= nd more appealing? It is very likely that those ones with the best photos. If you still think you have to stick to a P&S you can still improve the quality of your photos. Try using a tripod, setting up proper lightning (= see section ...) and pay attention to your framing (see section ...); along with a good camera, these are the three factors that contribute the most to the quality of a good photograph. I got my camera, what other equipment do I need? The list can be endless, and depends on how much you want to expend. o Tripod. Without a question, it is the piece of equipment that will improve your photos the most, the fastest, at the cheapest. A good t= ripod should be heavy and sturdy. Try to avoid those cheap, plastic ones a= s they tend to flex. A good tripod will serve you forever. My personal choice is the Manfrotto 055C (Bogen 3021) with a ball head. o Remote release. Most SLRs have an input for a remote cable-release -= some have a wireless one. This allows you to fire the camera without touc= hing it -hence avoiding shake. They are usually inexpensive. Some cameras= have a timer option. If so, can use it instead of the remote release. o Lens. Almost any lens will do. We will explore the effects of lens c= hoice in your photos later. o Filters. Film does not record the light the way we see it. Film is calibrated for a particular type of light. For instance, the typical= firm you buy for your camera at the drugstore is designed to be user unde= r sunlight or flash light. If you use it under artificial light you wi= ll get a strong colour cast: yellow if the ligth is tungsten, green if = the light is fluorescent. Filters will allow you to compensate this colo= r shift. They are usually inexpensive. o Flashes and strobes. Almost always, a direct flash from the camera w= ill prove useless. You need a flash that you can set away from the camer= a, and, in many cases you'll need at least two. Studio lights can creat= e dramatic effects. All these pieces of equipment will usually be expensive. Don't worry, you can have good results with Sun light. o Incident light meter. Althoght not indispensable, a good incident li= ght meter can give you quick and precise readings of how much light is illuminating your subject. If you're shooting an object which is not transilluminated, this tool will provide you with a good exposure mo= st of the times. Expensive. o Grey card. If you can't afford a light meter, a grey card is a most.= It is, as its name implies, a piece of grey cardboard that you use to estimate the incident light. Inexpensive. Its use will be described later. (see section ...). o Diffusing material. Many panels are not totally opaque and transfer = the shapes and colours of the objects behind. A sheet of difussing mater= ial (drafting paper, white plexiglass, opaque white glass, for example) = will provide a soft, uniform background for your photos. You will need some other tools depending on exactly what you're shooting.= The minimun you need is the camera and a lens, everything is sort of optional= but will certainly improve the quality of your photos. --=20 Daniel M.

It may take some coordination I don't have. Anyway I will continue to not use them, but from watching others use the foilers and getting faster and faster with them I can not say anything bad about them either.

We all have pretty similar ways of numbering our patterns it seems...(until my other personality does the numbering....lol). I have never tried one of the mega-piece lamps, only panels. Maybe I'll get one of the docs to write me a prescription for xanax and place the number for psyhic healing on speed-dial before I ever attempt one of them.....I was very intimidated by the patterns for them. A while ago someone recommended using x-ray (exposed and blank...lol) films for patterns. I have been doing this and love them, thanks for the great idea. A respiratory therapist I work with opened up a snap together soft clear plastic oxygen hood for a small infant, since we didn't need it and it would have been trashed I brought it home and stuck my grinder inside of it. It even has a flap to keep it closed....keeps the work area free from "flotsam". I have recycled little formula plastic bottles that come in their own little rack system....I tilt it on its side...put a little flux in one bottle and store the brush in the other...never spills and I can recap it when I am finished. People give me some strange looks when I start saying Ooooo I can use this..... I have seen some of the tiniest footprints imaginable and would often like to incorporated them into a panel, but haven't figured out how to do that yet...someday the lightbulb will go on I guess.

I should think the ladies(I know chauvenistic, there might be men)would love telling their customers that(a nurse?) employee of the hospital "does these!" How about ectching them on oval bevels and sell them with wooden base stand, that allows them to hang free? Almost makes me want to have kids again.

I have one called 'Glass Magic 3.0' (there may be a newer version now) by Micro Glass Software. Very simple, very inexpensive. I think it cost $29.95, but don't hold me to that. It's for lamps, boxes and panels. It will only enlarge up to 2' X 2' though. It requires 386 or higher, 4MB of Ram, 5 MB of free harddrive and 3.1 or Win95. Boxes and lamps are kept in proportion when enlarging. It is quite versitle in creating boxes and lamps as you can change shapes, sizes, number of panels, pitch etc. with a click of the mouse. It also does letters in different fonts. And prints out the pattern in numbered panels for you. There are a couple others but not in that price range, none that I know of anyway.

For Christmas gifts a woman I work with made little suncatcher angels with her baby's face as the angel face. She used xeroxed photos cut to shape and sandwiched between two layers of glass that are half the normal thickness. The local shop had the glass. If Warner doesn't have it, I'll send you the name of the shop where she got it...if there sounds like there is a story, you're correct...but my guess is that Warner has it. Anyway, the point is that you could sandwich the footprints. It could be the most strange and wonderful thing ever and perfect for the x-ray department...or the baby ward!!

Foil up to the notch area like normal, but when you come to the tip of the triangle, trim your foil into the point and overlay it on the glass as necessary. The tip will read like a point, but the bottom of the point will be rounded. Still, the compromise is worth it. Cutting an angle up into the glass is an invitation to cracking.

Just heat your iron, clean with a wire brush, and wet sponge. That would get rid of the zinc residue. Assuming of course that you've used zinc. If not, go with the flux theory!

The bases at the local stained glass shops are as expensive as the shades (which I hope to make some day, when the children are older). If anyone knows where I can obtain good quality bronze bases at reasonable prices, I'd appreciate hearing from you. I live in upstate N.Y., if shipping is an issue. Thank you. Diane B.

I got quite intrigued Photographing sg has always been a "bug-bear" of mine, even though I am quite a keen amateur photographer. When Gabriel also mentioned that his mother-tongue was not English - that really pressed MY sympathy-button :-) (I know how he feels....) I found his e-mail most helpful and detailed - and - also very generous. So I sat down one morning and went to visit his web-page. I found the mixture both intriguing, enchanting and fun. (And WHEN can I see some Mexican recipes Daniel??) Eventually I arrived at the page of some of Daniel's own photographs, both in colour & black & white. Eventually (about an hour and a bit) the down load was completed (at least of the thumbnails - why so long Daniel??). Boy, are they some photographs!!!! They are exciting and sesnitive both in colours and composition! Not only that, but in his obvious generous style, Daniel has added details for each one: rough location, type of film used, speed and aperture. The big blue stained glass in the Art Museum in Chicago, can surely ONLY be Chagall ???? (It didn't say... :-( ) I would have liked to look at ALL of them on the bigger scale, but by now my telephone bill was signalling "orange", because the down-load of each enlargement took about 15-20 minutes. (and I have got a reasonably fast modem - 28.8). Beautiful photographs, Daniel! Quite spectacular! I would like to ask you why you have used Fuji film in preference to any other film? I use Kodak for prints and Agfa for slides (it's the one I learnt with and know, which doesn't necessarily mean that it is the best for s.g. purposes. It's more a question of "the devil you know"...) Thank you for sharing and welcome to Bungi!!!! (Oh yes! There is even a photo of Daniel himeslf on the Main Page!!! Ahhhh! If I was only 20 years younger..... ;-> .. sigh... ) Go have a look folks!

I'd like to add something about generosity on the Internet. The Internet is divided in many, many neighborhoods. Many of them have thrived for more than 10 years while other are recent incantations of this medium. I am in the computer field. Obviously, computer geeks are still, if not the most common of the netcitizens, they are the most pervasive and oldest. The computer neighborhood is the largest and best developed. And the most giving. Giving, you might wonder, in which respect? I'll give you examples: the operating system that I run in my desktop and my laptop and all the software I use on both machines has been a collected work of many netcitizens and it is free, yes, FREE. Take your web browser --Netscape, at least for students is also free-- and visit www.faqs.org: more free information. I have been designing a computer control for my camera. I have been getting free advice and diagrams from different places and more important, from different people on the Net. The Internet changed a lot when the Web came along. It made it a flashy place, but made some people forget two of its more important parts: mailing lists and USENET newsgroups; where real people communicate with common interests. You know exactly what I mean because all you are here. Philanthropy used to be as common on the Net as it was conspicuous the lack of commercial domains. Mike is another one of those philanthropist. He has what I believe is probably the best website on SG on the Internet, and he does it just for the pleasure of doing it (and we know it, to share his experiences with aliens :) If you go to my home page, you'll find the statement: "Throughout the years, USENET FAQs have been an immeasurable source of knowledge, entertainment, and trouble solving. I have started these FAQ projects as a retribution to all those FAQs." If we take from the Net, and at the same time we add, it grows. And it becomes a better place to be. I don't consider myself generous. I am paying back. --End of my diatribe. E&T> So I sat down one morning and went to visit his web-page. I found the E&T> mixture both intriguing, enchanting and fun.

In Black and White I use: Kodak TriX, excellent tonal range, and excellent pushability (all the way to 3200 Kodak TMax 100, 400 Both have tiny grain and are beatiful. The former excels for portraits. Kodak TMax3200P The option for those dark, dark places Kodak TMax400CN Flexible: B&W photos in one hour labs. Now, colour negatives: Fuji SuperG 100. I like its colour saturation, blues and greens. Fuji SuperG 800. THe best colour film for low light situations Agfa HDC 100. If my photos that do not include people, this is the way to go: deep colours that jump out of the print. (Best for SG, IMHO) Kodak Gold 100. If my photos people include. Slides: Fuji Velvia 50. This is a profesional film. Tiny grain and you will take beautiful photos all the time. Useless for photos of people but the way to go with SG. The only pro film I am willing to buy for the time being. Fuji Sensia 100 My typical slide film. Follows the Fuji tradition of rich primaries, but it is kinder on people. Kodachrome Good, neutral film and supposed to last longer than any other slide film. I do like Fuji. They are, IMHO, the best. And I dislike Kodak way of making business.

I guess it depends on a person's motivations. I pretty much do one piece at a time, unless it's a bunch of strip pieces. This is for a couple of reasons. First, I find I get a better fit if I do one piece at a time and grind each piece to exacly match the foil contours of the previous piece. Second, I find myself getting less bored with a project if I have a variety of tasks to do during a session. Also, I do stained glass as a hobby and so I don't look at it as a speed contest for myself - a finished project that I'm happy with is more important than finishing it as quickly as possible. However, this is just my way of doing things.

Don't do it, that is an infringement of copyright. Get permission, pay the designer for his time and effort. How would you feel if I designed a piece then asked you to make it for free, you'd think I was crazy. When I make a design, I expect to be paid, when you make a lamp you expect to be paid. Fair is fair. There are many books with stained glass patterns that allow the use of patterns but read the front of the book! Most say, and I quote, "No part of this publication may be reproduced..... with the exception of reproduction of the designs expressly for personal use only, NOT FOR FINANCIAL GAIN!" ( my capitals for emphasis). It is not fair or considerate to use another's work without permission, also you leave yourself open to a lawsuit for infringement of copyright!! I have on occasion given a design for general use but be sure that designs you use ARE stipulated as copyright free! Even for people who have trouble with designs , a little work will get you better at it, give it a try. I sometimes spend days researching a window, then adjusting the design time and time again 'til I am happy with it. I am a trained and schooled artist and have worked hard to get there. Yes I feel that I have a gift for it, but I don't sit down like magic and it appears. I wish you well in your endeavors, but all of you out there who use others designs for profit, be fair.

Poison, chainsaw, gun, knife? Sorry. Hope it's better now. I am very lucky that my husband is a computer guru, of sorts. Well...lucky sometimes. He really wants me to *learn* the damn thing and all I want to do is play games and write to Bungi on it. The best part of my mind goes to glass. It depends how I feel that day, what I've had for breakfast, etc., etc., or the pattern itself. If there's a border I usually cut them all with the straight edge on Morton, make sure they fit, and foil them first, since they're the outside edge, and then I have another ready-made border for the inside. Sometimes I do all of one color at a time, particularly if there are a lot of similar-shapes and sizes, like feathers on a bird. It's more economical that way, you can line up all those little feathers on a strip of glass and zip away. If I get bored, then I'll change to another glass and/or color. One thing for sure: cut all the largest pieces first, so if you screw up you'll still have enough glass to cut another. The smaller pieces you can usually get from scraps. I was taught to cut out the whole pattern at once, first. Well, sometimes I do and sometimes not. It's fun to cut out maybe *half the pattern at once, do that complete part, then go on to the other. As I said, it depends on the phase of the moon... Happy glassing!

I have just started doing some fused glass paperweights. Who says glass paper weights need to be blown, with some stuff inside. People use railroad nails etc. for holding down paper. These are quite nice, and heavy enough for weights. I have in the past for my fused glass plates, weighed the finished product, used a formula I worked out to figure out just how much GNA glass was actually in the piece, plus some waste, estimated labor/shop expenses, a small mark up for shop and that was the wholesale price, then the retail price was times 2. These pieces are basically, seven layers of 2.5" square off set upon each other, with various colors making up each square layer. They are about 1.25" thick, but with down turned rounded off corners sticking out in all directions. This makes it easy to pick up. They are all cathedral glasses. Now I weighed one and it weighs 6.25 oz. using the formula I previously used for plates and bowls, makes it around $20.00 wholesale and $40.00 retail. My kiln is large enough to do probably 20-30 at a time, so that expense is negligible. Besides electricity here in this town is real cheap. The computer tells me how many kilowatts I have used for any one firing, and it amounts to less than $2.00 per firing. Even at the long extended times needed for this thickness of glass. Anyone out there know or feel these prices too high, or too low? I am looking for some products I can produce and market to galleries. But never looked at paper weights, when I was out of town at galleries, and can't compare them to the blown ones anyway. Certainly appreciate any suggestions I can get. I will photograph some next week, have several in kiln today. Then will get them up on web page. With Alberts help of course.

If your items run the gamut of prices from under $10.00 to a few hundred or more, be PREPARED to offer a "gift " (cheap) to a wavering large spender....people will spend a lot of money to get something for "free". Some of the shows get people who wait out the last day to "negotiate" a better price as they think you do not want to pack it up and take it home....if you get that feeling, joking suggest that the last day may be even higher, as it did not sell at a lower price. Play with the public, if you have not sold a piece, what is there to loose. Whenever possible, get a deposit, and if they change their mind (not long term) return the deposit. If it is a fast moving item and you have a lot of them, mark sold on one or two, people are usually more comfortable when their choices are re-inforced by others doing the same thing (buying the same type item).

I always take one or 2 large commissions that I haven't yet installed to highlight as show stoppers. Take commissions that are truly representative of the style of glass you enjoy doing most...make sure the designs are original. Even if these pieces are going to be permanently installed, solder some hooks on temporarily...you can remove them later. Put SOLD on it, and the price...generates lots of interest, particularly if it's an unusual technique. I have landed several repeat clients this way... I also have a plastic tool box that is always kept stocked and ready to go with all the tools, odds and ends that Christy mentioned. As for something to read, I would say NOT. Remember, you're not just as the show to sell in the moment, you're there to make contacts for future sales. So schmooze your little heart out...someone may be looking for a specific item that you could land as a custom order...or you can get an idea about what might be a hot seller for future shows. If it's not busy, talk to other artists around you...you can learn lots about when the best shows are for the following year if you're going to take this up as a serious marketing route. Be sure and take down names, numbers of anyone who expresses interest (I usually jot down a couple of notes too as soon as they leave). Be sure and follow up with a phone call within 1 month of the show. The notes are important...that way you can say "Hi Mrs. Smith, we were talking last month at the XXX Art Show about the prairie style cabinet doors...if I remember correctly, you were wanting some purple glass in them to match your...

Hello Jerri, A "juried show" just means that you are asked to send in pictures or slides of your work that are viewed by a committe who will decide which applications are accepted for entrance in the show. In other non-juried shows many times a photo is requested, and in other shows anyone who applys while there is still space to be had, is accepted. The overall quality of the works displayed tends to be higher in the juried shows because of the stricter entrance requirements ~Alison~ ---- 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 Mon Mar 9 09:16:05 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Mon, 9 Mar 1998 07:17:44 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #8 built 1997-Jun-19) X-Path: water.waterw.com!artglass From: artglass@water.waterw.com (pj friend) To: glass@bungi.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Subject: Re: Art Fairs Date: Mon, 9 Mar 1998 10:15:50 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <199803091515.KAA13633@water.waterw.com> Precedence: bulk Hi Diane, You have to realize that at an art fair the only time the artist has to get you to purchase (and that is the main reason they are there) is to approach you as soon as you enter their space. Most artists enjoy telling stories of how they do what they do and where their inspiration comes from. And to be honest most people who attend craft or art shows are there because they enjoy art and socializing with artists. And hearing those stories. The problem with not approaching people when they enter your booth at a show is they will think you are disinterested in them and your own work. Selling Art at craft and art shows is an "art" in itself. You have to really be able to read people. And most of the time its like being on stage for one or two days at a time and some shows even more. Thats why the recovery period is so long . Maybe if when you approached the artist or shop that you want to browse in just let them know you are looking and will let them know if there is anything they can help you with. I understand the feeling of pressure you get when someone is hovering over you the whole time. But there are diplomatic ways to get around it without hurting anyone's feelings. my best, pj ( who is grateful that her show days are over!!!!) > > I have a big problem with going to an art fair or even a regular shop and >being "schmoozed" by the owner.

I have a stereo system on a shelf above my work area (a gift form my hubby who does glass too) To help feel inspired I just listen to some really good music that I love and enjoy, and its easier to work happily away. Maybe choosing some glass that excites you and working on a new version of one of your box designs would get you started.....then even a radio and a space heater (temporary while you work) could help make that work area more inviteing. ~Alison~ ---- 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 Mon Mar 9 09:35:21 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Mon, 9 Mar 1998 07:54:11 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #8 built 1997-Jun-19) X-Path: mail.island.net!seaspray From: seaspray@mail.island.net (Carol Swann) To: glass@bungi.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Subject: Re: Art Fairs Date: Mon, 9 Mar 1998 07:52:44 -0800 Message-ID: <199803091552.HAA19884@norm.island.net> Precedence: bulk >I have a big problem with going to an art fair or even a regular shop and >being "schmoozed" by the owner.

Diane, I know what you mean...and nothign sends me out of a store faster than what you describe. I'm glad you wrote back...I'd hate to have anyone think that's what I'm advocating. Actually, that's NOT how I schmooze...I don't even like the word but don't know what else to call it. Basically, I engage people in conversation...and LISTEN MORE THAN I TALK. We often don't even talk about my glass...I ask questions about what drew them into the booth...often they're thinking about having a window done but don't know how to describe it. I help them clarify their ideas, compliment them on their taste (after all, they're in MY booth ), ask them where they're from, etc. People love to talk about themselves, and it's a great way to get feedback...if enough people say I'm looking for a widget in glass, maybe you should build some widgets for your next show. This is called market research. Listen to your potential customers. Last show I did, a sweet older lady in her 70s ended up telling me all about the bed her husband built her when they were married...that was her touchpoint to art...the appreciation of the time, energy and love that went into his woodworking. No, I didn't sell her anything this time, but she has my card, knows where my store is and she may buy a gift for someone in the future. That's what I call schmoozing...I rarely go all technical about my work, and I always ask first before I show someone a variety of items they might be interested in. There are times when that's appropriate and they'll let you know if that's what they want. Guess I developed this out of the fact I hate being sold to, plus the fact that glass is a solitary occupation and it's a chance to get out into the real world for a couple of days.

Make a little fairy to hang in the window for good luck, or make a little flower to remind you that spring is really coming. Sometimes just the simple act of getting the cutter out and making that first score will be enough to get the creative juices flowing again. Mine arn't flowing yet, but I know it will happen soon.

We got there before they opened and sat out front waiting for it to open, we were so excited about being there. But 5 minutes after we got there, we left. When the saleslady came over and asked to help us, we said we were just looking. But she kept following us around and pointing out things that were on sale and telling us the story behind every item. Even my husband who loves to talk to folks admitted later that he couldn't wait to get out of there. It's not just women who do this, I've had men do the same thing to me. When the artist stands there and tells me how many hours it took them to make this or that, or that they are the only ones practicing this lost art and that is why it's the price it is. I have never question an artist about price because I do know that lots of time and energy go into every art object but I just hate the feeling that if I don't buy this art somehow I'm betraying some unknown artist code. I'm not saying "Don't talk to your customers," but when they are obviously not interested in the life story of every object in your booth/shop, please don't hound them. By all means if the customer is asking questions or looking at you inquisitively, chat your little heart out. We had over $300 to spend yesterday but the pushy saleslady got none of it.

Arts & Entertainment section ...... and there was this incredible article about a photographer at the turn of the century that had photographed native Americans in their natural habitat. Of course, the photos were all black and white tin types, but the features on the faces, the flow of the garments and accessories in their hair ...... and there was a larger photo (dated 1899) of a Sioux chief by the name of Yellow Shirt that was exceptionally detailed. I remembered that someone on bungi a few months ago was asking about an Indian Chief pattern and the next thing I knew was I was sitting down with pencil and scratch pad and blazing away! Well, it was a very relaxing afternoon ..... I drew Yellow Shirt out for stained glass.

I don't know much about art fairs or craft fairs, but I've heard that term and have no clue what it means? Does someone judge what will be in the show? >> Hi Jerry & fellow bungians!! Around here (Indiana) a juried show is one that an application has to be completed for and pictures of your work have to be sent in with the application. The sponsors then go through all applications and decide who gets in and who doesn't. There are certain guidelines that have to be followed, such as, it must be handcrafted and not factory made. I don't know all the factors that each sponsor may look at, but I do know that first they want to fill the space, and then secondly with the biggest variety of crafts/art that they can find. The one great thing I have found is if there is more than one stained glass person, they are not put close to each other. I know they do not want 30 glass booths and only 1 basket booth. Also, there is no guarantee that if you are selected for a show in 1998 that you will necessarily be selected the next year. There is always a booth space fee. Some places can provide tables and others can't. Sometimes electrical outlets are available and sometimes they are not. Typically the vendor is ask if they would like to donate an item for drawings that take place throughout the day. Whatever money you make is yours. I hope this helps, but I hope it also wasn't more than you ever wanted to know :)).

Although we were told the fair was a good one and it was in one of the wealthier parts of London it was much smaller than expected. The other stall holders consisted of:- a cake stall, a fudge stall, two bric-a-brac stalls one of which dignified itself an an antique stall, a second hand book stall and a card stall selling mass produced birthday cards. In Coventry and the surrounding area there are no good craft fairs except one at the National Exhibition Center which costs an assortment of limbs to enter, so the question is; can anybody recommend good craft fairs in the rest of the U.K.? Also, are there any juried craft fairs or shows in the U.K. (other then the Chelsea Craft Fair) As our two favorite galleries have gone into liquidation in the last month we need to find other outlets for our creative urges so would appreciate any info that you can pass on, Many thanks, Mike Simpson. ---- 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 Mar 10 06:04:57 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Tue, 10 Mar 1998 05:02:27 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #8 built 1997-Jun-19) X-Path: pop3.nildram.co.uk!glass From: "Toby" To: glass@bungi.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Subject: Re: Art Fairs Summary: Authenticated sender is Date: Tue, 10 Mar 1998 13:57:03 +0000 Message-ID: <199803101302.NAA08531@saturn.nildram.co.uk> Precedence: bulk Well Dianne and Alison, Hmm.... might work!

It's a fine line between being helpful, informative and pushy and "hounding". Certain skills in psychology are needed in "reading" people, trying to determine who needs what. I have occasionally come across the not-so-infrequent client who feels s/he hasn't got value for money unless your entire soul has been presented to them in a minced form on a silver platter as part of the price they have paid for "their" stained glass. On the other end of the scale you have the customer who only buys because of "one-upmanship", paying the money OK, but scarcely looking at what they have actually commissioned. For the last couple of years I have myself not participated in any exhibitions or show, simply because I have so much backlog to work through. But I have frequently visited exhibitions as a spectator and to look at new ways of displaying. When I come to a stained glass artisan's display and I really like it, I first tell them that I do like their work (and why). In my next breath I also tell them that I too work professionally in stained glass, but that my "style" is different. First of all this relaxes them (don't have to preach to the converted) and secondly they don't feel threatened that I am prowling to steal their ideas/designs etc. I always end up having a wonderful animated conversation with nuggets being offered to me, as well as the odd one that I have to give myself. Mind you, shows and exhibitions here in UK that includes quality stained glass happen once in a blue moon, once or twice a year.....? In my "industrial days" I was often required to attend International Trade Fairs all over Europe, lasting 1-2-3 weeks, with governments, Universities etc looking for mega-bucks contracts & deals. A good exhibition-stand etiquette and manners were absolutely crucial. Looking bored, solving a cross-word puzzle, reading the paper/a book, drinking coffee etc when "on parade" was totally out of the question. Even sitting down was discouraged. A discreet , interested, respectful omni-presence with appropriate body-language was what was required, with authoritative verbal language, with specific arrangements for one-to-one negotiating. Rather than taking a book to read, why not prepare small projects for demonstration purposes. A copperfoil-project displayed "in stages", with you working/demonstrating on the "final" (or penultimate") stage, as well as a couple of pieces of the finished project all cleaned up, displayed and a price-tag on it - for sale. So that the punter can actually proudly assert at home "I ACTUALLY S A W her making this one!" A bit of a kudos! .... and for you.... it will keep the boredom factor at bay..... Not only that, but punters are always attracted to a stand/display/booth where something is HAPPENING! Hope I am not "teaching grandma' to suck eggs" here.... Good Luck! Elisabeth 'n Toby in UK Dianne wrote in response to exhibition/shows etc approach (which - of course - also includes the approach shop-keepers adopt when customers walk in through the door): This past Sunday my husband and I drove 3 hours to visit a shop we had heard about for the past 2 years. We got there before they opened and sat out front waiting for it to open, we were so excited about being there. But 5 minutes after we got there, we left. When the saleslady came over and asked to help us, we said we were just looking. But she kept following us around and pointing out things that were on sale and telling us the story behind every item. Even my husband who loves to talk to folks admitted later that he couldn't wait to get out of there. It's not just women who do this, I've had men do the same thing to me. When the artist stands there and tells me how many hours it took them to make this or that, or that they are the only ones practicing this lost art and that is why it's the price it is. I have never question an artist about price because I do know that lots of time and energy go into every art object but I just hate the feeling that if I don't buy this art somehow I'm betraying some unknown artist code. I'm not saying "Don't talk to your customers," but when they are obviously not interested in the life story of every object in your booth/shop, please don't hound them. By all means if the customer is asking questions or looking at you inquisitively, chat your little heart out. We had over $300 to spend yesterday but the pushy saleslady got none of it. Sorry, just my 2 cents worth.

Hotline is the brand name that I use. I doubt whether it is marketed for a different purpose at hardware stores, since it is fairly specialized. Why not call your retailer and get her to order what you need and go there when she gets it in? For wire, just make sure that you use a high-temp stamen wire. Good Luck!

Make very sure to use the SMALLEST AMOUNT necessary to temporally glue your pieces together. Dipping a toothpick in the glue helps to get a small ampunt. To much glue will not burn off without leaving an unsightly residue. Fusing wire or even plain copper wire can be fused in for a hanger. I make circles around something like a pencil and cut them round before sandwiching between two pieces of glass. One can just place the end of the wire between two pieces of glass. In both cases it is most helpful to dent the wire in contact with the glass. Otherwise the glass may not form a tight bond around the round wire and the wire will pull out. I have not had good success in placing the wire either on top of or under the glass.

Using lead dikes cut the circles apart. The ends of the circles will be slightly offset. Use a hammer to flatten the circle where the ends come together. This makes the ends of the circles somewhat irregular and allows fused glass to make a good mechanical grip around the wire. The lead dikes can be used to nick the wire near the ends to accomplish the same purpose. Insert the wire circle about one quarter way between two pieces of glass with the cut irregular shaped ends between the glass. Heat to 1450'F or so. A common glass nugget laying on its flat side can be cut about 1/8" in with a diamond band saw and a wire circle wedged in the cut and fused. Of course, if you overlap other nuggets of the right color and make the right overall shape the resulting product will look like a bunch of grapes ready to hang up. A combination of common purple and lilac nuggets looks great.

I do have a long background of soldering. My stained glass instructor gave me some pointers as follows (still fresh in my mind) Tack solder using flux at the points that will help you maintain the shape of the object on the back side. If your flux is spitting and sputtering... you are using too much flux. Then solder the back side for the rounded bead (strength) . Turn over the object flux one area at a time and do the finish bead on the front. Don Linda Campbell wrote: > Question to you good folks about soldering and fluxing.

Or do you just solder over the = >tinned joint without doing anything? Depends how long you've been away. I was taught not to let flux sit on work without cleaning it off if it's going to be more than a couple of hours. Assuming you're doing all of this at one sitting, I do not wash, but solder over the tinned seam. Sometimes I will add more flux if it needs it. ("needing it" - solder will not flow right, globs onto the glass, etc.) Generally the less flux you use the better. Here's the routine that works for me. (This is assuming the piece is not gigantic; in that case I will work one side, clean it off, and go back for the other side later.) I tin the whole front, put on the came, then turn it over and tin the back side. I have better luck tinning the whole side first, then going back and beading it. That also gives me more practice time on that particular piece. After the back is done to my satisfaction, then I turn it over and bead the front. Also I believe, it's a good idea to turn the iron temp down a bit for the beading process. Hope this helps.

And I took a class!!! > Thanx,Damon > ---- alright, here are the general keywords: TINNING: this is when you put a thin coating of solder on the foil, or whatever. usaully done on the edges and borders. some people like tinning the edges of a box before assembly. FLAT SOLDERING: this is when you fill the gaps between pieces. i use 50-50 because it's cheaper. if you went straight to beading, you would waste alot of solder (especially if you have wide gaps). the solder has no profile. BEADING: this is when you put your finished look onto the panel. it makes it look nicer, and strenthens it a bit. it what seperates the professional work to the very unprofessional. i use 60-40 it does the job and it's cheaper then the other stuff out there. 50-50 does'nt work as well to get a good bead. and you can lower the reostat for the 60-40 to prevent drip through. i usaully tin after everything is beaded, because i can remove any drips on the side. ---Mike Savad -- Mike's Stained Glass http://www.geocities.com/Paris/1141 2-2-98 New Pages Added: 22 New Stained Glass Links, 7 New Projects Added and My Updated Shop Photo's ---- 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 Mar 13 08:42:36 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Fri, 13 Mar 1998 07:46:17 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #8 built 1997-Jun-19) X-Path: slonet.org!edupjohn From: "Peggy W.

If I saw stained glass windows in a mall or restaurant I would walk up and look closely at it. Not for design but for the soldering. I discovered that most of the time my first year soldering looked as good or better then their professional soldering. I don't do a lot of glass, mainly gifts, but I do like it to look nice.

C'mon! This is negative and I don't quite buy it. Bungi didn't exist 6 years ago, so we could not possibly have the benefit of a Bio you wrote 6 years ago. If you wrote one then, how easy then it would be to re-vamp it, even if tongue in cheek to communicate with the rest of us who you are, what you are about, from whence you have come. It can be all quite fun, not too serious - you are not applying for a job or anything.... All and every one in Bungi matters to all and every one one of the rest of us! That includes YOU! We depend to quite an extent in the "knowing" of each other, to know how to take "off-the-cuff" comments and early mornings tired perusals, and....occasionally... the odd "rattiness". This is not a "Stained Glass Reference Library"; this is a collection of highly individual - often isolated - individuals, continents apart, different cultures and now and then - even different languages - ALL trying to give, to contribute. to learn, to share knowledge and experience and to make Friends in the World of Stained Glass. To make Friends means, that you have to give a little of and about yourself. There are so many individuals who have given so much of Themselves into what is Bungi. Judging from the 250-odd Off-Bungi e-mails I received after my last "Little Performance", I will stick my neck out and say that this is what the Bungi Subscribers WANT. They WANT real humans, they WANT real friends, they WANT real flesh-and-blood. I DO want to know to judge that Mike Savad is a bit pre-occupied and gives somewhat vague answers when he is perusing his last encounter with Aliens, when Howard is "ratty" about someone trying to pick his brains for days for nothing, when Albert is struggling with so many "hats" (.. and gasping for a fag in the Bunker); how Len is hovering between hobby and pro, how Luther (the Cat) is destroying all plans for creativity; , how Herbert is struggling with the English language, how Tomasz is battling with computer technology and double glazing in Poland; how Mary is struggling making ends meet driving trucks, how someone else struggles in British Columbia; someone else trying to get the editorial of a stained glass magazine together in Australia, how an ex-monk in New Orleans feels about stained glass and finds a new approach creating it, how an ex-patriot Irishman has a fresh new look on stained glass and why... How someone in Cornwall in UK can survive artistically and financially designing and creating stained glass in a somewhat barren environment; how a US ex-patriot in Glasgow, Scotland works in stained glass..... Don't you want to know how, why, from where and to where??? I DO! I never ceased to be amazed from where people come, what motivates them, what they are about and the strength of their convictions. For them to share it with me is a "Gift" I cannot treasure enough. A little Bio on Bungi goes a long way for many of us to make that connection. So if you really care about what you do and wish to make some wonderful, real "connections", that may well last a life-time, tell us who you are, where you come from and so on. Send it to our irrascible Patrick Kelly (The Irishman who kissed the Blarney-Stone!). I should know! I have actually MET some of you!!! Against All Odds! WOW! Have I Got Friends For Life!!!! HAVE I learnt about stained glass!!!! If you want a "Stained Glass Reference Library"; please join another Group. Bungi is not for you.... :-( Elisabeth 'n Toby in UK (Len! Passionate! ME!

Kaf! Think I'll go downstairs now and have a nice H. Uppman Churchill and think over the day. I put together quite a nice (I think) brochure for the College of Fine Art and Glass, sent it off by airmail for approval and input, then took a lovely 2-hour nap (well, I *had put in 12 hours by 4 p.m., so I deserved it), re-heated some BBQ pizza, had a glass of Merlot, walked the dog, so all in all it was a pretty successful day. Wife's on the other coast on biz, so it's a bit lonely, just me 'n the dog, but it'll be bedtime in an hour, so that's the end of day for me. That's a slice of the human side of misself, I guess.

I'll be the Barbed Wire Blanket. For those of you who have never been in the military this is the person you see in the movies who throws himself across the barbed wire and acts as a human bridge for the rest of the people to run over him (or her, it is the 90's you know). Name: Patrick Kelly Location: Killeen, Texas USA Occupation: Daytime - Management Analyst, US Government Nights - Computer Science Instructor, Central Texas College (on the web, please visit and see some of my students home page designs) Likes: Just about everything and everybody Dislikes: Pretentious people, egotists, and people who say " That's too hard, I can't do that". Marital Status: Married, 2 grown and gone sons (I broke there plates when they left). Companion animals: 4 cats, and a Jenda Conjur (small parrot family), an armadillo that visits regularly, and the odd snake in the backyard (all are welcome) Background: Born in Baltimore, Maryland, USA to a working class family of 8 children (oh those Irish). My father was a shipbuilder. Attended an all boys high school Baltimore Polytechnic Institute (for some strange reason the female teachers didn't last but a few semesters). On the way to register for college I was bitten by the adventure bug. I joined the US Army and enlisted for the Special Forces. The military career took me all over Southeast Asia and met many lifelong friends (some of whom were former enemies). During my travels I became aware of the great works of art and historical significance of the areas (i.e., The Plain of Jars in Laos, The Floating Markets of Bangkok; The Reclining Buddha; The palaces of Japan; Rangoon, Burma, and many others). All of my military career was spent in the Pacific area. Retired from the military and settled in central Texas. Became an accomplished furniture maker and woodcrafter. Not much money in either of these so I returned to school where I earned 2 Master's Degree and started toward a Ph.D. Glass: A lady friend of mine was in the middle of a nasty divorce and asked if I wanted to buy her stained glass supplies. Not knowing a fair price or having any experience in SG I put her off. After a few weeks she called and asked again if I wanted her supplies ... for free, she had to vacate her house and didn't want to move the stuff into storage. I agreed and went to her house expecting to pick up a couple of boxes of supplies. To my amazement there was pick-up truck loads of glass, tools, equipment, books, patterns, and everything else needed. I took a short class and fell into a love-hate relationship with glass. My former garage and cabinet making shop is now my stained glass shop. I call SG my therapy because when I get fed up with people I retire to my garage and get in touch with my creative side. I love every cut (glass and fingers). None of pieces I have made have been sold. My wife always falls in love with the projects or says "You know our Veterinarian's little girl is having her first recital could you make her something?" or "My friend needs a piece for her sister-in-laws birthday" or "Why don't you make a little something for _________". Needless to say this gets a little expensive. Hope I didn't bore you too much. Patrick Roses and Rainbows BTW "Roses and Rainbows" is not my studio name or anything. I just like saying it, instead of "have a nice day" (feel free to use it in anyway you want. ---- 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 Mar 14 12:50:58 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 11:44:28 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #8 built 1997-Jun-19) X-Path: n-link.com!pkelly From: pkelly To: Katharine Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Subject: Re: (no subject) Date: Sat, 07 Mar 1998 12:42:16 -0600 Message-ID: <1998Mar7.64216.0> References: <<1998Mar14.4818.0>> Precedence: bulk Welcome Katarine Patrick Roses and Rainbows Katharine wrote: > please add to list ....we are looking for interesting patterns > ---- > 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 ---- 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 Mar 14 13:09:28 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 11:46:47 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #8 built 1997-Jun-19) X-Path: n-link.com!pkelly From: pkelly To: glass@bungi.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Subject: Bio#2 Elisabeth Date: Sat, 07 Mar 1998 13:47:15 -0600 Message-ID: <1998Mar7.74715.0> Precedence: bulk (She is going to kill me for this, Patick) Bungi Bio Name: Elisabeth (with an Ess!)

Grandpapa was a diplomat, Papa served in the Swedish Navy. Early childhood: spent climbing trees, sailing, swimming, being locked up for being =93naughty=94, or weeding the garden = :-( .

Eventually leading to degrees & post-grads at 4 universities in Europe Sweden - European History Germany: Linguistics UK: Finno-Ugrian Linguistics Hungary: Post-grad Hungarian studies & research. Career: Colourful! Peeling potatoes & wiping runny noses in UK in 1961, fled to Germany 15 months later in sheer desperation & out of boredom and promoted to looking after old folks, until I managed to get to grips with continuing my formal education. Spent various years in Germany (West & East), France, Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Aden, Yemen, Egypt, Lebanon, Ethiopia and China (some months). In Aden I spent a considerable time avoiding getting shot at , blown up or being mistaken for being British...... On return to Europe worked for a number of multi-national companies as an =93East European Expert=94 and spent more tim= e living out of suitcases (..today is Tuesday...it must be Prague...). Got off the tread-mill 1989/90 with both feet and started working full time with stained glass from home.. No money, but better quality of life..... Married : Yes in 1970 to an Englishman ; we now live under separate roofs about a mile apart, great pals (long story - ..yawn..) Children No, but 5 Godchildren and approx 10 nieces & nephews Philosophy: 1. In all right relationships, look only for the Divine in people, and leave all the rest to God; 2.

Best International Exhibit , Hungary 1995. Haven=92t got off my butt since...... Best Moment : Starting a new day. Worst Moment: 1) Collecting =93bits=94 of friends into plastic bags after they stepped on booby-traps in the Middle East; 2) Being mugged in London and almost losing my eye-sight 3) Witnessing physical torture in Eastern Europe. Funniest Moment: Waking up at night, couldn=92t breathe, couldn=92t mov= e, felt paralyzed. Thinking: =93Oh! I=92ve died! That=92s it!=94 Slowly coming to, still not able to breathe, still not able to move, but gradually realizing the whole bed was shaking, trembling. Coming to a little bit more - realizing that there was a thunderstorm outside; lots of whizzes and bangs; lots of noise. I couldn=92t move, I couldn=92t breathe and the whole bed was trembling and shaking, because I was pinned down by the weight of 135 kgs worth of 2 terrified Old English Sheepdogs who had dive-bombed on top of me for comfort and reassurance. A cup of tea was made for 3! THAT=92S ALL!! (At least - that=92s all which is suitable for =93public consumption=94!!) ---- 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 Mar 14 13:20:50 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 11:46:51 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #8 built 1997-Jun-19) X-Path: juno.com!jroey From: jroey@juno.com (jerri m Roey) To: glass@bungi.com Subject: Re: hot glass and kiln question, bios Date: Sat, 14 Mar 1998 14:37:46 -0500 Message-ID: <1998Mar14.93746.0> References: <<199803141814.SAA16289@saturn.nildram.co.uk>> Precedence: bulk Hi Elisabeth, Wow. I'm probably looking at a much smaller kiln. The smaller one we used in the class was a hexagon shape (I can't remember the deminsions) and goes for about $350. I believe the controller was another $500, so I won't be able to get that. It'd be more convienent if I could keep the kiln in the house, since I'll have too keep a close eye on it without a controller, but I thought of putting it in the garage. Oh well, I'm still in the pipe dreaming stage at this point. The downside to taking the class was that it gave me so many ideas of things I'd like to try, some to incorporate into my stained glass, some just fusing, and I don't have a kiln! Jerri Pat. Pat.

De-ionized (DI) water is produced by running water through a cation and anion chemical bed. each type of chemical takes out positive or negative ions, respectively. since this is expensive, one usually runs the water through a reverse osmosis (RO) unit first, which removes 92-95% of the ions. the DI unit can produce what is called 19megohm water (refers to the resistance of the water), which is lab grade purity. you are probably referring to chemical deposition rather than electrical. --- Charles Spitzer charlie@az.stratus.com Phoenix, AZ ---- 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 Mon Mar 16 13:50:23 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Mon, 16 Mar 1998 11:53:23 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #8 built 1997-Jun-19) X-Path: UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU!HCLADM02 From: HCLADM02@UConnVM.UConn.Edu To: glass@bungi.com Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Subject: Re: More than a bio!!!!

You want to check out "How to design Stained Glass" by Jennie French. On page 70 there is a pattern of a zebra lying down (or sitting) with its head turned toward you. It is really pretty. The book is by Dover Publications - 8.95$. I hope you'll find the pattern (and the book) useful.

It has about 3" of various sizes of molding around it. Molding matches the cove molding on the ceilings. I have adapted a pattern from the cozy corner pattern book to fit on the bottom curve of the oval. It runs up the left side about 10" and about 15" up the right. The design that goes in the window from side to side has no border came on it. It is foiled and tinned. Now my question........ I have tried to gently curve 1/8" zinc u came around the part that will fit and attach to the molding but the curve at the center (at the bottom) is rather tight and it won't curve around without bending outwards. Can you do this on a came bender? In the past I have only used a bender with "H" zinc. Also...has anyone ever tried painting zinc border white with model airplane paint? (I don't want to use the plastic molding that I have seen in the Home Depot type lumber stores.)

Well, here are my questions. 1. I have zinc, just the u shaped about 1/4 inch stuff to go around the edge. This window will have about 3 reinforcements going across. Should I use the wider zinc? The edges will be in a rabbit. I just didn't know if the wider would add anymore strength, since there is rebar involved. 2. O.K. ,This piece is also copperfoil. When I get ready to put the zinc edging around it, do I first tin the copper edge or not. If not, how will the zinc stick to the edges of the glass where there isn't a seam to solder to? But. if I do need to tin the edge, How will I heat up the zinc so that the solder underneath sticks to it? 3. Am I just thinking about this stuff too much?!?!? I just love my bungi buddies!!

I have tried to gently curve 1/8" zinc u came around the part that will fit and attach to the molding but the curve at the center (at the bottom) is rather tight and it won't curve around without bending outwards. Can you do this on a came bender? In the past I have only used a bender with "H" zinc. Also...has anyone ever tried painting zinc border white with model airplane paint? You can use a Cascade Came Bender to curve 1/8" U zinc. I know because I just did it. Making the complex curve for the bottom of your oval is easier if you do it MY way. Just cut the pattern to be curved to from 1/8" window glass and use this to form your 1/8" zinc. This method also works well for up to 1/2" lead H. I just formed a piece of 1/8" zinc U to a 4" radius without distortion. Heavier zinc and brass are best done with the came bender. Most any paint will adhear well to zinc. Scrub the zinc bright with fine steel wool for best adhesion.

It contains 54 pieces, divided amongst 6 panels. I am happy with the result. It is my third project and I think I am making progress. My beading is still irregular due to the fact that my cuts are far from perfect, but much better than in my first project. I think I am improving. Now I am getting into trouble, my office starts to look like a stained-glass shop :) I noticed, however, that the lamp was bigger than perfect. I decided to buy a bronze base --"after all, it is reusable if I don't like my lamp shade" I told myself--. It has a label 9" (which is the hight from the bottom to the beginning of the bulb. Now, my lamp is around 14 inches in its maximum diameter and 10 inches in hight. It seems to be bigger than it should. My question is, what is a good proportion in base size, lamp height and max. diameter? I designed my first lamp and that might explain the inconsistencies in sizes. Thanks in advance, -- Daniel M.

I wonder if somebody can help me with a reinforcing question that I have. I am about to take on a piece of work consisting of a panel that consists of Orion the Hunter holding a defeated lion. The stars that make up the relevant constellation are spaced about the panel which is appox. 7ft high by 4ft across. The pieces taht make up the background are fairly large (approx 1.5sqft each) This panel is going into an existing aluminium frame that is in a courtyard that is protected from direct wind. Obviously this panel will need some sort of reinforcement. Can I get a few suggestions please?? I am planning to run two hollow cames along the panel vertically at about 18inches apart and then insert a steel bar into the hollow. Is this a suitable idea for a panel this size??

If you are going to go to all the trouble of mastering a design program that deep you might as well buy and learn Adobe Illustrator which is not specifically for stained glass, but has all that you need and more for designing patterns as well as flyers, ads, and all sorts of graphics. ---- 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 --part0_890168153_boundary-- ---- 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 Mar 17 15:48:30 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Tue, 17 Mar 1998 15:05:21 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #8 built 1997-Jun-19) X-Path: scc.net!oddjob From: Sue Reitmann To: "'glass@bungi.com'" Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Subject: 1/8 " U zinc Thanks Date: Tue, 17 Mar 1998 17:07:30 -0600 Message-ID: <1998Mar17.11730.0> Precedence: bulk Thanks to all who offered suggestions on bending my zinc.

I do mainly panels for windows,doors,cabinets in homes... My base price is $50 per square foot plus $1-$2 per piece/cut for simple designs with lead came and low priced glass..I charge more for using zinc and brass... They price starts climbing as the piece gets more complex and also the design time has to be figgured in....I do give discounts to steady home builders as they give a lot of repeat work that can be cranked out fairly fast thus making steady money to pay those every painfull bills that come each month... Thats a good starting point for you to go from.... You'll just have to do it by trial and error... One BIG hint::::: I keep a log on every job I do... In the log (job study) I record all materials used on the job and all time spent producing the panel... I keep track of the amount of time spent designing the panel and the actual time spent building,cementing,polishing etc for the panel..That more than anything else has helped me to get my prices where they need to be to make a decent profit.... Be sure and keep track of what supplies cost you also,that will help keep you on the track..

Because I never know what happens with formatting on other computer/programs, in a nutshell, I charge $1.25 to $1.50 per piece of glass cut, plus $50-$70 per square foot, plus 20% if the design is 3 dimensional or layered. To that total, I add 5% if it is an original design, more if I have to do a lot of work on a customer's concept. I figure the square footage based on the size of a rectanglular box that the piece would fit in laying flat, since glass comes in rectangular sheets (usually). I also adjust for the type of glass, difficulty of the cuts, and occasionally add a "boredom" charge for a design that I think is ugly or tedious.

I think the casual style that is used in email enhances communication. Very rarely do I receive ( and never send) email business or personal, in the stiff, dry style with correct grammar that's used in business letters. To me it makes the correspondence more personal and I find it more effective in *getting * to people quicker then letters or even the telephone most of the time. Email has evolved into a conversational style and I think thats one of its strongest points. Personally, I jump at every opportunity to do business via email. I do keep an eye on the spelling though.

The best seams in my lamp are the external ones --it is a 6 panels' lamp. I think this "device" will qualify as a jig. I am not sure what the others are.

Solution C should be aged at least 30 days before using. If it is to be used at once, boiling for 30 minutes will have the same effect as 30 days aging. > >The solutions are used in the proportions, A:B:C = 64%:32%:4% by volume. The solutions are prepared for use as follows: concentrated ammonium hydroxide is added to solution A, drop by drop, while vigorously shaking the flask until the precipitate, which first forms, completely disappears. To this is added half of the required amount of solution B causing a dark brown or black precipitate to form. If insufficient ammonium hydroxide is added before solution B is added, the precipitate will be a yellowish green. If this does occur, the solution should be discarded and the process started again. Ammonium hydroxide is added again, drop by drop, while shaking until the black precipitate is almost, but not completely, dissolved. Gradually the remaining half of solution B is added, while continuing to clarify the solution with ammonium hydroxide. The ammonium hydroxide should be added more slowly toward the last, since the reaction is slow and there is a danger of going past the end point. The final solution should not be completely clear; rather it should be a slightly cloudy solution which if allowed to stand for 30 minutes, will become clear except for a few black flakes which settle to the bottom. The solution may be used immediately or it may be allowed to stand for as long as an hour without affecting the results. > >After solutions A and B have been prepared by the addition of ammonia hydroxide, it is advantageous to cool them to at least 15 C. For strip silvering, a temperature of 10 to 12 C is recommended. The lower temperature allows time for decanting the solution into the vessel after the addition of solution C and before the actual plating out begins. > >Enough solution should be prepared to fill the vessel about two-thirds full. This solution may be decanted into the vessel, the required amount of solution C added, and the solution mixed by shaking. The vessel should be rolled or shaken during the entire plating process. The time required for the solution to react and deposit the silver depends on two factors: (1) the temperature of the solution (the lower the temperature, the slower the reaction); (2) the age of solution A (the older the solution, the slower the reaction). The time of completion of the silvering process can be determined by occasionally removing a little of the solution and noticing the character of the precipitate. When the solution becomes flocculent the silvering is completed and the solution should be removed to prevent the formation of a gray deposit or bloom. With practice, the condition of the solution inside the vessel can be determined by feel. When the solution is spent, the precipitate forms a heavy sludge that can actually be felt moving from one end of the vessel to the other as it is tilted end to end. > >If a heavy coat of silver is desired, a second coat may be desposited over the first after removing the spent solution. Brighter and thicker silver coatings may be obtained with a given amount of solution by silvering twice with half-strength solutions (obtained by diluting with distilled water) than can be obtained by silvering once with full-strength solution. > >After silvering is complete, the vessel is washed out and as much as possible of the sediment adhereing to the walls is removed by a vigorous shaking with the vessel half full of water. After a final rinse with distilled water and a rinse with methyl alcohol, the vessel is dried by alternating exhausting and filling with dry air. The pump used in this operation should be carefully trapped to avoid contaminating its oil with alcohol. ---- 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 Mar 19 12:44:02 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Thu, 19 Mar 1998 11:17:28 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #8 built 1997-Jun-19) X-Path: ibm.net!croch From: "Carol J.

It looks like this: (excuse the primative graphics) Lead face ------------- | | Lead heart | *-|----------Hollow section inside came | | ------------- The idea is to incorporate the lead in your panel as you would a normal came (I guess you would want to use it without too many curves) and then slide a rigid steel bar of the correct dimensions into the hollow for extra strenght. As I said I have never used it but I think it would work a treat. What I have been able to get my hands on has been some came that has a thin piece of steel emmbeded into the heart of the lead and thus gives it strenght that way. I expect that it may cause a problem when I have to cut it as I do not have anything other than a standard lead knife to cut with. I've not had any replies to my own question about reinforcing the panel that I mentioned in that mail, so any pointers from anyone would be most welcome. Bye Peggy W.

Hi Sussie, Ahhhh... so many years trying to master Shakespeare's language and I am still writing like a elementary school pupil. What I meant to say was guild, not guilt. I have given up learning other languages --what is the point of climbing the "learning cliff" of a new tonge if after hundreds of hours of learning I'll be only able to ask for scrambled eggs and stare helpless to the waitress when she asks me a non decipherable question such as "do you want gravy on your fries?" It is better --IMHO-- to improve my English than to badly learn 3 languages. Nonetheless I still make silly mistakes. I particularly dislike English, but it is pervasive and ubiquitous. I have no option but to affront it. As this list becomes more cosmopolite the English of some of its members --me included-- will leave plenty to be desired. Please, bear with us. We are making an afford. This reminds me one of those days in which I was learning English in order to prepare myself for the proficiency exams I had to pass to be able to attend grad school in the US and Canada. "What's your name?" --My instructor ask me. "I name Daniel", I replied. He started laughing. "You speak like an apache" was his response. In order to be politically correct I rather say today: I speak like I had the brain of a boy 10 years old. Happy glass work! -- Daniel M.

A. Bendheim Co., Inc., in Passaic, NJ (800 221-7379) lists steel reinforced lead with a fixed and a removable strip. This lead is not intended to be bent to any degree. A fine (32 teeth per inch) hacksaw will cut it well. The lead knife is useless for this task. On a more practical note I use Cascade reinforced lead. It has a brass strip in the heart, bends well and cuts well with lead diagonal pliers. Said to be about five times as strong as ordinary lead. Any window I construct that has a dimension over 24" is likely to use at least some of this reinforced lead. Have come across old windows that had a strip of steel just layed against the heart of the lead. Have not seen this product offered for sale.

It looks like this: (excuse the primative graphics) Lead face ------------- | | Lead heart | *-|----------Hollow section inside came | | ------------- The idea is to incorporate the lead in your panel as you would a normal came (I guess you would want to use it without too many curves) and then slide a rigid steel bar of the correct dimensions into the hollow for extra strenght. As I said I have never used it but I think it would work a treat. What I have been able to get my hands on has been some came that has a thin piece of steel emmbeded into the heart of the lead and thus gives it strenght that way. I expect that it may cause a problem when I have to cut it as I do not have anything other than a standard lead knife to cut with. I've not had any replies to my own question about reinforcing the panel that I mentioned in that mail, so any pointers from anyone would be most welcome. Bye Peggy W.

I glued two strips of wood along each edge of a copy of my pattern. I think this "device" will qualify as a jig. >>not!! this device will qualify as a restrictor (i.e. it "restricts" the pieces to a set space) My problem I is that I am still not very accurate in my glass cutting. Sometimes the pieces fit perfectly, sometimes they don't. >>If you are cutting multiples of identical quadrilaterals, trapeziums, or trapezoids (or for a mater of fact many straight sided shapes) a "cutting jig" comes in handy to ensure that each piece is the same with nice straight edges. They are easily made with a board(say 2'x2'), a wooden yardstick cut and fixed along one edge, and another wooden yard stick cut to the width of the board and bolted with a wing nut through the ruler on the edge so that it pivots. Fix an inch section of the ruler to the underside of the far end of the pivoting ruler to act as a spacer. Use a clamp or vice grips to hold the end of the pivoting ruler to fix it at whatever angle you want to cut at, and now you can be a mini production line. Very handy in ladder lamps, boxes, simple panel lamps, etc. a ladder? -- Daniel M. German >>a ladder is one section (like a slice o' pie)of a dome lamp, that is composed of a number of pieces that look like a tapering ladder. With a profile and some "simple" pi (3.14 etc.) geometry you can make just about shape of lamp, and then assemble it using the "igloo style" of building, the worden sectional form (or a bed made from the profile), or a full form in the round (of wood, foam, or plastic). This kind of cutting is where the jig comes in handy! Also an even simpler "jig" of just 1/4" thick wood cut in strips that are the width of the glass you need (minus the width of the shoulder of your cutter) and 1' to 3' long. Great for boxes and easy to use in conjunction with the aforementioned cutting jig. >>I get an eerie premonition that this is only going top raise more questions, I'm psychic maybe?

But, just thought I'd offer up that, I have seen some artists use wine glass or goblet bases as "make shift" rondels. If you break one off, be sure to polish it out so it's not so obvious were the stem was. Some of the expensive goblet bases have some nice ground out facets that do interesting things with light.

Yippee! I have decided to incorporate an elaborate *piece intensive* multi -coursed border into the design. Some of the main design will flow out and be superimposed over the border.... a design device that I have used in the past with good results. I like the look of the added depth. Anyway, what I plan to do is have the outermost border a bright detailed small piece geometric, and the inner just a narrow, dark , single color strip border. In between I want a random organic looking style (to complement the strong organic oriental elements in the main motif.) Something like a crackle. I am trying to create the illusion of an ornate stepped frame. I have experimented by heating 3/4 inch wide strips of thin antique with a propane torch and then spritzing them with a spray bottle containing water and also spraying the glass with water then heating with the torch. The results are some interesting heat checking. I then foil the pieces back together being careful not to foil all the way to the edge. Since I am not able compensate for the foil thickness when I reassemble the sections, I can grind the edges flush again without running over the foil and solder and the unfoiled gaps will be hidden under the came. The heat check cracks take on attractive twists and turns that would be impossible to duplicate with a glass cutter. Looks good to me. Has anyone worked with anything similiar to this *accident art* technique? I guess my only real concern is the stability of the glass after being exposed to this type of stress. I tried using thicker glass but the resultent checking patterns were not as convoluted and sort of defeated the purpose. If I use too much heat on the thick pieces the glass just shatters.

Easy to drill the first hole in the float WEAR goggles (eye protection) and gloves. Floats are vacuumed. Drop a line in the hole with a small weight. Note where it hits and use that for the OTHER hole. A pipe 3/8 threaded is run through the float for the electrical stuff needed to make the shade light when a socket and bulb and electricity are working in unison. I make a glass (12 to 16 pieces) cylinder for the float to nestle in. The diameter of the cylinder is keyed to the diameter of the metal stand I have/get...some of the stands (bases) have a hole set for a base light, so that can be lit as well. People will spend a lot of money to make their find of a float memorable. As an aside I live on the beach and over the years 19+, I have NEVER found a float. I have hunted all times and tides and seasons, I have seen my buddy go to the beach, walk into the weeds to relieve himself, and find floats in the grass.

I have even used bits of stone and masonry. I have even used bit of mortar from the Berlin Wall In the late 80's I visited a small island off the coast of China. The entire beach was covered almost knee-deep in glass nodules, warn round and smooth by the sea over many years. The glass originated basically from glass objects and broken glass bottles thrown overboard by passing ships. You could collect these wonderful polished glass pieces by the shovel-ful. I added to the extra excess baggage of my suit case on the flight back to UK of a couple of shovel fuls of this wonderful beach find. A small handful of these pieces have since travelled to USA with friends who saw them, handled them and wanted to do something with them. Let your imagination go. You can foil them, you can lead them; use them in a stained glass creation. No problem.... If you use them, design around them Just enjoy!

He said >he's going to do the soldering. Does anyone have any other "simple" >ideas that he could use??? Thanks!!! I've developed a kid proof technique for introducing them to glass. Take a box of glass scraps of various colours, have each kid bring a picture frame and piece of glass, then let them fly at it with epoxy glue. I've done this with "kids" of all ages and they have so much fun they always want to do more. I've also adapted this technique to do 1 hr Christmas ornaments using 4" round bevels as the backdrop. Using this technique the kids don't learn to cut, but they do learn to foil by putting a foil border on their glass or bevel, they enjoy the colours and textures of glass, and most importantly USE their imaginations. This is a pretty positive way to make sure kids' first introduction to glass is positive and fun...the positive reinforcement of completing a piece first time out seems to whet their enthusiasm for more. There's also NO lead exposure and it uses up some of your glass scraps. I also do this only with kids 11 and over, since younger kids tend to get the epoxy glue everywhere. Make sure you have some moist towelettes handy for everyone anyway. And I've found LePages 2 part epoxy glue dries clearest. Make sure the kids have fun no matter what you choose to do.

I explained about the glass types, etc. then I proceeded to let them practice cutting on scrap glass, and grind their piece that they cut. To save time (I had about 2.5 hours with them also), I had precut the project, which consisted of a apple, stem and leaf...preground them also...then I put them in a baggie with the amount of foil needed..and a suction cup. They did the foiling themselves. I did the flux and they soldered the stem and leaf on then I finished the solding myself. They all enjoyed the project...or so they said. It was interesting being that it was the first time I had done this. The apple was a very easy project and something mom could hang in her kitchen window to show off.

I'm one of those addictive personalities, i.e. "Hi my name is Valerie and I'm a glassaholic", OR "Hi my name is Valerie and I'm a computerholic." These two things are completely interchangable with me. I am completely and totally in love with both. I developed the curriculum for, and teach Computer Resource classes 3 days a week at a local private school to grades K-8. I teach everything from graphics manipulation to presentation, word-processing to spreadsheets, HTML and writing for the Web to desktop publishing for the yearbook and school paper. I'm also crazy about children but can't have any more. I'm thankful to have been blessed with a 16 year old son, (most of the time!) I have a wonderful husband who is a building contractor, and he even built my studios for me when I went professional! He bought my first grinder for me too, what a PEACH, eh? We bought a 120 year old post-Civil War house (USA Civil War that is,) to renovate and restore. (It still contains the original hand-cast glass in 70-75 percent of the [32] 6-over-6 wood windows too! YUMMY!) I started learning how to cut and work with glass when I was 12 and it came so naturally that I took it for granted for a while. I eventually began to realize that I could actually be artistic for the very first time in my life. That only with wonderful glass, lead, solder, and my own imagination, I could create something truly beautiful and carry that translation over in such a way that almost anyone could see and appreciate just what *I saw!! It was an incredible revelation for me. I had always been able to see beauty and appreciate beauty which others had the talent to create; but I had never been successful at trying to create anything of beauty myself--until I got serious about stained glass. It changed my life. It stretches me, encourages me, frees me, limits me gently, grows me. Here's one of the loveliest things... I can say those same things about bungi when it's at it's best. Wow. Thank you all so much! Thanks for sharing, in my life, my enthusiasm, my irritation(s), my befuddlement(s), and my glass work. I remain indebted and indeed, grateful.

I went to school and did all the regular growing up things. In 1979 I decided it was time to stop just having fun with my life and do something serious. That was when I enrolled in the correspondence courses for my CGA designation. I was already working as an accountant so thought I should make it "official" that that was what I wanted to do with my life. I passed all the exams, and received my CGA on May 21,1985. I now run my own medium sized practice from a home office. I met my one and only husband (Doug) on August 15, 1981. We started living together on December 15, 1986 and were married on December 15, 1991. We couldn't have children, and by the time we found out for sure, we were too old to adopt. So..... we have four furry Child Substitutes - two cats, Peaches and Buds and two dogs Tuka and OBD. All of these CSs are spoiled rotten and are very much our family. We live on twenty acres of land in a little house that's perpetually under construction. Our property is located near the top of a mountain (picture rounded mountains, not Rocky Mountain types) between Kamloops and Chase in the south central part of British Columbia, Canada. Over the years I have done most kinds of crafts, though Counted Cross Stitch held my interest for many years. During the summer of 1995 I developed a repetitive strain injury called DeQuervain's syndrome and it became difficult for me to do almost anything involving fine motions with my right hand, so kiss the cross stitching good-bye. I had to switch many daily activities from my right to my left hand. I think this triggered the other side of my brain, because I began having creative ideas like I'd never had before in my life. This is when I started designing patterns for cross stitch. A co-worker of my husband's (her name is Nancy) wanted to take an evening beginner class in Stained Glass. The owner of the local shop was quite willing to do an evening class as long as there were at least four students. Nancy could only round up two besides herself, so I said I would take the class (thinking that I wouldn't be able to manage well with my sore hand) so that she could do it. To make a long story short, I became obsessed and she hasn't touched it since. Doing SG work does hurt my hand, but LIFE hurts my hand so I just carry on the best I can, resting it when I have to. Mostly, I find ways to make things easier. I almost always use running or grozing pliers for example, not hand breaking. I pick up coffee pots and other heavy things with my left hand, and can even write left handed on particularly bad days. My professional commissions have included a series of seven windows for a house in Kamloops that used primarily Clear Waterglass and Burgundy Baroque and a series of five windows for a church near Kamloops. The largest of these windows was a little over 4 feet by 8 feet. I learned a great deal about working with large panels during this commission and would hesitate before accepting another one as big. (Well, I'd charge more anyway.) I sell most of my SG production through gift shops, a craft mall and the occasional craft sale. I love making boxes and medium sized panels ( 4 to 8 square feet) and truly dislike doing stepping stones. Someday I may figure out what I want to be when I grow up, but somehow I doubt it. ---- 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 Mar 21 08:57:01 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Sat, 21 Mar 1998 08:00:38 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #8 built 1997-Jun-19) X-Path: flash.net!artglass From: "Dianne G.

In those days I used "U" shaped lead came. _____ / / <-- scrap glass flag solder --> /_____/ / / / <--staff / <-- solder glass nugget ---> You can also use a piece of narrow "H" came and wrap the glass flag, use the came as the staff and then wrap the nugget in the other direction.

Thanks Laurean...what about suggesting they use another iridized clear glass...eg. iridized granite, hammered, rippled, crocodile or whatever...that way you're introducing a contrasting texture to the piece, while keeping to their spirit of not wanting colour. Maybe you can talk them out of the regular glue chip and into a more interesting texture there too. They may or may not go for this as an alternate suggestion. If they insist, try and keep the border narrow...imho iridized glass should be an accent, not a focal point and it's easy to overdo.

Thanks for asking, Andrew. I was trained as a glassblower after I went to UC Berkeley to study high-fire ceramics. They were blowing glass in one of the studios and I took the course out of curiosity. I'd already moved on to raku because it resulted in finished work more quickly; glass was even faster, although it took me a year to overcome wanting to actually *touch the material I was working with, something I'd been accustomed to with clay, of course. Glass at 2000 degrees doesn't allow that, though; you have to kind of do it by remote control at the end of the pipe or punty. But I eventually set up my own studio in the industrial part of Oakland CA and was selling my work through museum shops. A couple of years later I started Glass Art magazine (not the same one that exists now) and had the furnaces at one end of a building I'd put up in the back yard, the magazine "office" (a desk) at the other end of the building, and a ton of chicken feed on a pallet in the middle (I had 200 laying hens ... very much the 60s, right?). I've been publishing *about glass ever since, rather than producing work in glass myself. My artistic production these days is strictly oil paintings, unless you count all the glass books and publications about glass that I do. I count 'em, myself. So my training's all at college and university, apart from a stint as a designer for the Sevres Crystal, south of Paris.

At first I thought I wasn't cleaning the pieces well enough so I switched and now use CJ Flux, detergent liquid and baking soda and I still can't seem to get rid of the oxdation. I believe I am washing the piece well enough but not really sure how I can tell. I use a soft brush (sometimes it can tear off the tinned pieces) but most times I use a kitchen scouring pad. Is oxidation normal in foiled pieces? I have quite a bit of original (1920) leaded windows in our home and don't notice it on these windows. On a piece just completed, I noticed it has a 'fog' / shadow around the solder line...used the fractured/confetti glass and artique glass. Is this related?? Can someone provide some input - this is driving me crazy and getting frustrating!

Margaret, to get rid of the fog/shadow you need to clean the piece thoroughly with a wax finishing compound such as Kem-O-Pro, or Ultimate Cleaner seems to work well also. Get your rag up close to the solder lines until the fog is gone. Sometimes a Q-tip will help. I find antique glass particularly difficult to get clean, but diligence will pay off! Also, I have been using distilled water for my soldering sponge ever since having a terrible oxidation problem that showed up about two weeks after the piece was completed - thought it might have been due to minerals in my well water. That was after a severe drought, but that's not likely now in our area!

A 'beach brain' activity very popular at shore side summer communities is searching for beach glass. Beach glass is any scrap of glass from bottles or whatever that has been 'sand blasted' after following whatever ocean currents take it from there to here. I have heard stories (recently on this list) where the stuff just piles up on the beach, ignored by the local denizens. Blue and red are rare, and can incite fisicuffs among avid collectors who stumble across a specimen at the same time. I have seen bets paid off in red or blue. Arguements rage on whether a piece was 'done', or should be thrown back, cuz one edge was still shiny, and didn't have the all over satin finish. This stuff can be set in jars, strewn on a shelf, put in the resivoir of an oil lamp. I'd like to see what art glass would look like after a year at the bottom of the Atlantic. No cheating and putting it in a rock tumbler. Part of the experience is walking along the beach just after high tide.

Plenty of glass is brought up from ancient shipwrecks that is in pristine condition. That glass has had no scouring action from sand. Glass that is in strong surf is another matter. I would guess that glass in many areas of the State of Maine surf would be *finished* in one winter. At many places there the beach sand disappears in the winter only to be redeposited in the spring. Plenty of tumbling action. If I had an area that showed promise I would think about dumping a lot of glass and hope to get 1% back. Not likely to be legal. It is likely that some of the glass would be recovered a long way away.

Sure there's a formula. its like putty, or bread, everybody has a formula, or a recipe and theirs is the best. Something is ultimately worth what someone else will pay for it, always in relation to what it costs to make it. Supply and demand. Sadly, too often in stained glass there are people who will sell there work for little more than the cost of materials. This does nothing more for the art as a whole than to support their individual glass habit. It debases the general demand by providing artificially low comparison prices and hurts people who are serious about their work. You should keep job cards, or some form of record, in which you include your costs including a markup to cover shipping and the time you take for ordering, the actual time you spend on each project, and something for overhead. Even if you don't have commercial rent to pay, it costs you in time to keep books, and it cost you more for promotion, shows, etc. I find that its helpful to keep track of the different aspects of the job. Puttying takes longer than you might guess without your records. After a while, you will find that you have a very useful resource for estimating in your job cards. How much are you worth? That times time plus material is your asking price. And once you quote your price shut up. The first one who talks looses. I always think its kind of sad to hear an artist talk me out of paying full price, but I never stop them. Most big studios quote by the square foot. Complexity is also a big factor, but its very hard to determine that in the initial bidding. I usually give the prospective client a range, and then try to get them to tell me where they are in that range. My final pricing on a job is based on a minimum price per piece, compared to a minimum price per square foot, plus the cost of material. Other factors can include how busy the studio is, and whether the client show signs of being a pain. No, we don't take every job, and there are bids we loose to lower bidders, but we still manage to stay busy. Remember that if you bid too low to do good work your reputation will suffer, and you won't get a chance to do the really great jobs. Good luck! I hope you get lots of responses.

Those not interested can "click on by" or delete. If censoring continues there won't be much of bungi left.

If so, these holes are filled with flux that washing can't get out, but will leach out over time and cause corrosion. As for the halo effect on your glass. That is known as a flux stain. They are more prevalent on some types of glass than others and are worsened if you leave flux on your work too long.

Next time you are near the ocean, dump the whole box off shore. A 'beach brain' activity very popular at shore side summer communities is searching for beach glass.

However, I have seen in some US magazine a sort of small drum type machine that you load up with an abrasive sand/powder and the glass or "gem stones" and let it tumble for a while.
