The first one I made, I used the braided wire alone. The wire is pretty thin so I used 6 strands together, secured stationary to my bench with the other end wrapped around a 6 inch piece of 1/4" wood dowel. When I twisted the dowel a braid was formed of the wire. The second panel is framed with a combination of U shaped came with the braid soldered to it. The effect is similar to the rope chain and bezel setting used by jewelers to mount gold coins and medals. This way is double work but the final effect was worth it and hopefully stronger IMO. By the way, there is actually a tool sold for twisting the wire.

If you don't mind me asking, were they the cheaper choice? IMHO, when it comes to cutting implements, get the best you can afford (sometimes even if you can't). The difference between a lead knife that costs $7.95US and one that's $24.95US is not that the cheap one may last 1/3 as long as the expensive one, but maybe only 1/10 as long. They may be able to take a sharpening, but if they are not made of good steel, the edges may not hold an edge, even if they only cut lead.

You wet the slip with kerosene then wipe it on the tools cutting edges taking great care to keep the same cutting edge shape. Experts job really,sling the tool and buy a new one.

However, I feel the need to get serious regarding the recent thread related to "twisting wire". Using a power drill to twist wire is an avenue paved for disaster. The word "backlash" comes quickly into my mind. I have witnessed wire and cable snaps both in construction and during my tours in the Navy. Not very pretty sights. Of course these cables were slightly larger and under much more torque and/or tension than would be used for tinned stained glass work. This accounts for their forces being able to slice the canopy off of an A3D jet and take a portion (no need to discuss what portion) of the pilot with it. Or the two guys I ONCE KNEW that were trying to pull a bulldozer out of a muddy ravine with cable and winch. The optimum words I have seen used here are "a power drill at low speed". That's sound advice and should go along with keep an eye (hopefully not literally) on the tension on the wire. Keep it in mind while your child is tugging at your pants leg, the door chime rings, your best customer walks in with a signed contract for that $100,000 project you had a bid on or the pot is boiling over. Sorry but at this stage in my life I have become very important to myself. Dowels and gizmos for me.

Suzanne<< I "think" the leathery looking solder is caused by to rapid cooling of the solder bead. The silver front and back foil is an excellent heat conductor and is contributing to the rapid heat loss. If you have seams if varying width, the wider seams should have the look and not the smaller. So, increase the heat applied by going slower or solder by first filling and then beading. Bob ____ Bob Duchesneau Mountain Meadow Stained Glass 92026 Want to talk glass?

I solder often in a very cold room, today it was 30 degrees when I started. No problem. But I use 40/60 instead of the usual 60/40 and it is dirtier, and will tend to leave the leathery look you describe. Usually going over again with a clean tip handles this. The tip picks up the junk and takes it from the project I'm working on. Look and see if your solder got dirty . It may help. (I do have to clean MY tip all the time, because I'm using 40/60), but when I'm done, I get very satisfactory results.

Help! I'm inclined to agree with Charlie that it's a surface cooling effect. I reported this happening a couple of months ago when the weather started to get cooler. In cold conditions, the solder surface cools faster and tries to set up, then it continues to shrink as the hot metal underneath cools, so you get tiny little roughnesses in the surface. There's more thermal expansion and contraction than you might think, though. Just think about the old trick of running hot water over a stuck jar lid to loosen it up. Even boiling water is 150-200F cooler than molten solder, and it expands your jar lid enough to get it off. I wish my big ol' chemical data handbooks weren't packed away in the furthest reaches of my basement, I'd see if I could find thermal expansion data on the solder alloys. I also agree with Bob Duchesneau that the funky effect is more likely if you've got wide joints or gaps. In that case I use 50/50 to fill, let it cool, then run a 60/40 bead. The 50/50 stays "pastier" so it's less likely to melt through than a 60/40 fill. (And no, I'm not going to turn down my iron unless I really, *REALLY* have to, like if I were to try sweat-soldering lead. You'd see every shake of my hands in the finished product........)

Sorry if I am wrong) separate candle holders in different heights for her to line up. The effect would be the same, the candles burning in a row but it would be easier for you to make. I know there are some very contemporary menorahs out there so do you need to use taper candles? The candle holders I was complaining about a few weeks ago with the sand stuck in the flux may be a decent option (minus the sand and shells of course) I used 4 - 2" wide rectangle bevels and made a tall narrow shape, attached a 2 X 2 piece of clear glass on the bottom and top to close it in then on two adjoining sides of the top added 2 X 2 bevels as a "shelter" for the flame. Am I explaining this well enough? I made them in different heights but to illustrate what I am trying to explain one of them when finished measured 6 inches tall on two of the side and the additional bevels made the other two sides 8 inches tall. I found some small votive holders at Pier One or Cost Plus and set them on the top. They are the smaller holders that fit the tea light candles not the votive candles. When its lit, it looks pretty because the bevels reflect the flame quite nicely. Good luck.

Every single finger that is attached to me hurts so bad, dont know if I can go to sleep. Spent yesterday cutting all day. Today was soldering all day (9am -midnight) Lessons I learned today. 1.Flux stings! (bad) 2. when you are tired enough you really dont give a damn whether you die from lead poisoning or old age, you just want some rest. Why arent you supposed to drink while you solder? I dont dip my ingers in my drink. 3.I need more bandaides, and time. Now, for the advice request... My cousin (by marriage) is a glass blower, and his sole source of income is shows and commissions. He is loaning me two of his tables and drapes (red, ugh) but will cover them with white table cloths...still not the best. wish I had black to set off my smooth white cement! Will display my ornaments on two 3' Christmas trees with small white lights. My problem....How am I going to display my sun catchers? I have no clue. I would appreciate suggestions. I know I had at least one the day I found out about the show, but I cannot find it. Yes, I am having fun. I have never made so much in such a short period of time! Amazing. It isnt enough, either. I am not worried that I will not sell anything. Just wish I had more to sell.

Well, last week I was down in the Bahamas (partially paid for by my glass sales) and I happened into the Atlantis Casino on Paradise Island. At the entrance was a glass sculpture that looked like something Chihuly would do. In the casino were 2 more pieces. I asked, and sure enough, they were Dale Chihuly sculptues. I forgot all about gambling and just studied the pieces. One was an orange collection of globes shaped like shells, another was a blue globe shape comprised of flat disks, and the third was sort of like looking at up-side- down milk bottles elongated this way and that. I was impressed. They look even better in real life than on TV. Hope some of the rest of you get a chance to see the real thing, too. Just thought I'd mention it here where others might understand my enthusiasm.

I've found that using a plastic margarine or yogurt tub is easier on the ears (and the nuggets). I use no more than 1/2 foiled nuggets and 1/2 "naked" nuggets to stop the foil from catching on each other. Tell the QC department you don't get chips and scratches because you are gently and quickly tossing the nuggets (more like shaking salad dressing), that you're not going to shake the shit out of them (playing the maraccas), and besides that, you're using a plastic container. Another secret...use 3/16" foil and pull it slightly as you foil the nugget...this stretching seems to reduce the amount of excess foil that needs to conform to the nugget.

Dredging up memories from my youth in Far Northern Mexico (i.e. southern California): Mezcal is the plant that tequila is made from. The mezcal worm (actually the caterpillar of the butterfly that fertilizes the plant, like monarchs on milkweed) lives on the plant. At some point, someone got the bright idea of testing the strength of the tequila by dropping a live worm into the bottle. Supposedly, if the tequila is good and strong, the worm will be dead (or at least unconscious) before it hits bottom. If the worm is still wiggling when it hits bottom, the tequila is "wimpy." Some "real Mexican tequila" is sold with a label that reads "con guzano" - "with the worm." Traditionally, when "real hombres" are out drinking, the guy who takes the last shot from the bottle has to eat the worm.

Why is there a worm in a tequila bottle? A. There isn't! There is no worm in tequila. Repeat, there is no worm in tequila. The worm is found, quite dead and pickled, only in mezcal. Q. Okay, what's the difference between Tequila and mezcal? A. Tequila is a mezcal, but mezcal is not Tequila. Mezcal is a generic name used for booze made from various species of an agave plant called, ironically, mezcal. Unlike mezcal, Tequila is produced under strict Mexican government regulations and can be made only from the blue agave grown in specified growing areas. In this sense the rules for tequila are the same as the rules for champagne or cognac, i.e., specific plant and specific growing area. -- Adults are obsolete children Theodore Geisel ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Fri Dec 4 09:54:25 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Fri, 4 Dec 1998 08:30:55 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #9 built 1998-Oct-12) X-Path: vdot.net!shyguy From: Bob the Dinosaur To: glass@bungi.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Subject: Re: Tequila, was Re: Introduction & Foiler Date: Fri, 04 Dec 1998 11:28:26 -0500 Message-ID: <1998Dec4.62826.0> References: <<1998Dec4.14059.0>> Organization: Cox's Mower Service Precedence: bulk >From the Jose Cuervo FAQ: Q.

Thanks everybody for the encouragement, and advice. Cant wait to get pictures of everything and post them on a webpage so y'all can see what I managed. Im even thinking *Spectrum might just want to send me a t shirt or something for *my fanlamp pattern! ;o) Sure had a hard time keeping my suncatchers prices down...as I just kept adding too them...one started out as a 7 peice star tree ornament...and ended up as a large 3 stared suncatcher....about 20 peices. Ended up with more ideas then I had time to accomplish. Oh well...got another show in February...another small one dayer. Think that is about my speed for awhile. This next show is in small town Oklahoma. It is the big town Osyter fryand arts and crafts festival! Of all things in Southwest Oklahoma! I will stay at my parents...oh, and it is a $10 booth fee! lol...cant lose...setting my sights high dont ya know? It will be alot of fun...will just have to try not to be next to the polyester quilts!! I know alot of those old ladies! Their sewing could knock your socks off...if they could just throw away that bottemless box of fabric from 1971. Makes me shudder to think of those dresses I wore... Thanks again...think it is all coming together well. Even lost about 3 pounds! My husband said "well I guess so, you've given up eating and sleeping!" Tulsa Suzanne...I have this feeling Ed is just gonna love me! Thank goodness my husband came out into my studio several days ago and asked if there was anything he could do to help! ;o) Is there ever! Gave him a lesson in foiling...and he was a great sport when I would return a peice and ask him to redo it! ;o) We spent several full days...like that. Me cutting all day long...and handing it over to him to foil...then the next day I would solder alllllll day and night. I can cut 3-9 in the time it takes me to solder 1! Is it just me? Today, I soldered all day..then poured 4 stones after dinner. All that is left production wise is solder one more fan... now I can price, and pack. We are almost there! Can not even imagine what I would have done without my husband foiling for me. Saved me!

I think II'll be able to lick the problem as soon as the new gadgets arrive! It's great to have a resource like this instead of just "shooting in the dark" and wasting a lot of time and $$ on gadgets that don't work as well as I'd hoped. Now for an even bigger question. Does anyone know a good kiln controller that can be added to a small kiln that isn't too expensive and is capable of going up to 23,000 degrees? ( I also do porcelain so I need the high temp) I saw one in the Arrow Springs catalogue that looked like it would work but it was almost $400, just a little more than I can spend at the moment. I overfired 2 kiln loads of Christmas pins last week and need to set up some way to automatically shut off the kiln when it reaches the right temp. I'm tend to get distracted by other projects and have absolutely no sense of time so keeping an eagle eye on the kiln just isn't working for me. I'm also looking for a chart that correlates actual kiln temps with the "cone"numbers that are used in ceramic firing. I know I've seen a chart somewhere but can't seem to find it in any of the books I have.

You must mean 2300 degrees, right? Cone 8 or 9 if I remember rightly. I think that at 23000 degrees whatever you're firing would vaporize, not just puddle. For firing questions, I'd suggest you chat with Marty Daily at Centre DeVerre. His web site's http://www.cdvkiln.com/ and his email's info@cdvkiln.com He's a font of information on firing glass and/or ceramics.

Ringie, with lack of sleep, production schedules, delivery orders, show schedules, etc. This list and a couple of others, let us get to know each other and blow off steam and frustration. (or god why did that last piece of glass for that panel snap, and out of the particular color). So we all get off track from time to time. If you want just cold hard glass info, the library, and IGGA site has plenty books to read. No straying off track, cute comments, or any of the other fun things that makes this e-mail list worth while for most people.

(though they don't let you touch any way) Soooo do all of you have to inspect every piece front and back (this piece had a blob of glass on the front also ) before purchasing ? or what? At the time i wasn't using a light table. since then took a weekend and now I have a door w/light on 4x4's. next i guess i'll go thru my glass and see what good and whats scratched. Oh well back to the cutting board. :) Jeanne ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Sat Dec 5 08:55:04 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Sat, 5 Dec 1998 07:14:10 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #9 built 1998-Oct-12) X-Path: fn3.freenet.tlh.fl.us!gonzalj From: Jim Gonzalez To: glass@bungi.com Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Subject: Bad foil job Date: Sat, 5 Dec 1998 10:23:35 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <1998Dec5.52335.0> Precedence: bulk Hi, While foiling several pieces the foil did not center.

Some have been pretty interesting and helpful and I plan on using some of the ideas. If anyone else is interested in exchanging glass yet with me to help me out I would appreciate it very much. I still need more to do this quilt and rather than me picking some glass out I would much rather have your favorites added to it. Please email me back if you are interested.

I have a friend (Lapidary) who has a big vibrating tumbler, and will tumble it for me. How is the best (safest) way to crunch up a good amount of glass? Even thought of getting some kind of close weave bag (cloth) and running the car over it, but some might 'shard' into a tire. I don't have a sledge hammer, and don't really want to 'crush' it , just get it into smaller pieces.

If it is scratched, don't take it. If the scratches are not in areas you want to use, you can cut around it. That's one advantage of buying retail rather than mail-order.

If you want it to be great. *refoil* it. Try to get the adhesive off the glass before you refoil also. Fingernail polish remover works good to get that off. If you do not refoil it...your patch that over laps may *float off when you solder over it...or if it stays, you will be able to see that it over laps other foil. When I foil a peice of glass I try for as little overlap at my ends as possible.

Or stick another piece over the skinny side and trim to match. Use your imagination! Just remember to get enough foil on each = side of the glass so that when you solder, there's enough matrix to hold the glass together. Remember, it's the solder = that holds the glass together, not the foil. The foil is just there so the solder has something to adhere to.

Now, finally is time for an introduction. I have been doing stained glass for about 25 years. Starting as a hobbyist in Florida, and then a business for 2-3 years in Wisconsin; I now continue only for fun. I have a studio area in my home which is always set up (19 years) and which I can access anytime I am inspired. I seem to be the type of personality that works feverishly for months at a time and then burn out and don't touch glass for a year or so. Crazy, but that's the way I work. I have gone thru phases of window panels, boxes, jewelry, stepping stones (2yrs ago) and now for the first time making lamps. I am very attracted to the straight lines of panel lamps in the Frank Lloyd Wright style. For Christmas presents this year, I have made over 12 lamps and my husband is making the bases out of cherry from a freind's woods. I also work with a rehabilitation group called Wildlife of Wisconsin which cares for injured, abandoned or diseased wildlife. Thus, the nature influence. I love working with colors and the blues, greens and all natural colors dominate my work. I completed a lamp on a drift wood base that is 4 sided (large) with swirls of leaves, blues for sky and water and have incorporated a sunface molded piece on one side a bug molded on another and a turtle mold into a pond area on another side. I had such a good time, that I am again in the fever mode and have another lamp started that I need advise. I am making a mosaic 4 panel that I would like to hide an elephant in! Yes, an elephant.....I'm sure many of you have seen windows that have hidden designs . If you look at them long enough, you may see a tiger or something else emerge. Las Vegas is a good place to look for this type of design. I was wondering if anyone has suggestions of where to look for information on this type of design or any suggestions on how to do this. I am also looking for some elephant patterns that might work in a lamp. Thank you in advance for any assistance and now I will go back to listening. Donna Harms.

Just smashing the glass results in a very wide variation in size from powder to pieces of several square inches. For your purpose, I suggest that you bite the bullet and cut the glass into pieces of about one square foot and then space scores in one direction about one to two inches apart, turn 90 degrees, or so and repeat scoring. Break all scores in one direction and then break up the resulting strips. Ten pounds of glass should take less than one hour to reduce to pieces of the size you need.

I am a new lurker and already have benefited greatly by the information and generosity of all bungis. I was introduced to the bungi group by Linda Campbell, thank you Linda, and thank you all. My name is Luanne Kane, linked forever with Lead Lines Stained Glass Studio. I was born in Amityville, New York on June 5, 1956. I lived in 9 different states before settling here in Dunedin, Florida. Dunedin is a small town (50,000 people) on the west coast of Florida. I have been married to Jim Kane for 20 years and have a daughter 13 years old. I began my journey with stained glass in 1979. I was working as a Communications Technician with AT&T Long Lines in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was a good job for the corporate world but MONEY was the only thing that kept me there. Listen to your elders, NEVER DO IT FOR THE MONEY. I always had some kind of hobby, usually craft like, so stained glass naturally interested me. I enrolled in a 5 week course and was hooked. I began slowly, making gifts and then progressing to filling orders for my friends at work. I then started participating in local craft shows, later graduating to art shows. All this, while still working my day job. After a few years, I finally had the courage to quit my real job and plunge right in to the glass world. It was a difficult decision but the best one I ever made. My husband and I moved from New Orleans to Florida in 1983 and at this point I set up a studio in a spare bedroom and started a wholesale suncatcher business. I would make say about $1,000 worth of suncatchers and hit the road. I would call on small gift shops, show the owners my glass and sell the items right out of my cases. My work was well received and before I knew I had outgrown the bedroom studio and was searching for a studio outside the home. At this time Jim and I had also decided to start a family, with a baby on the way, we either had to move the business or move us all. I opted to move the business. The storefront I found was originally to be a place to work, not a real business. The area where the studio was had terrific walk-in traffic and with the natural curiosity of people, the studio immediately turned into a stained glass studio/gift shoppe. Before I knew it, I had employees for the studio and outside salespeople. The business was good from the beginning and a lot of work, in retrospect, I don't know how I ever managed to do it all. My daughter was with me all day at work, day care was not an option for me. She literally grew up in the studio and though it may not have always been the best situation for me, it was for her. I realized after 8 years that the business had turned me from artist to merchant/manager and I was looking for a way to simplify things. By this time, our family had moved into a larger home and after much consideration, I closed the business and set up the studio in our garage. The 8 years of storefront visibility had enabled me to build a client base. I have been working from home (again) since 1993 and the freedom and flexibility of working when I please has proved to be the best way for me. I work alone, do all sales myself, have a talented woodcrafter to do all major installations, all records are in a shoe box and life is great. I still wholesale suncatchers and small panels, do custom commission work and have a line of costume jewelry that I sell mainly to art centers and trendy gift shops. I no longer do shows, they proved to be difficult for me, hard to prepare for, etc. I have been teaching since 1980, with small sized classes at the store and now individual instruction at my garage studio. It is a wonderful way to pass on my love for glass and meet and make new friends through glass. I have met some of the nicest people through this crazy glass business and some of the craziest! I will probably be in this business forever, I find it to be very therapeutic and rewarding. On my worst day, it takes about 5 minutes in my studio to feel the tension go away. I never tire of making that same pattern (one more time) for wholesale and the excitement of a big custom job basically keeps me up all night. I hope I never lose my love of glass. The business seems to have come full circle in a very short time, funny how things work out.

I have always done either lead or copper foil but never mixed medias. Question I would like to foil the flower and vase and the horizon at the table top, but the background glass I want to lead. Am I making any sense at all. So the effect will be the foiled flower and vase and the lead looking like a leaded window. Where the flower meets the background (clear waterglass) I want to keep the lead lines straight. So where the flower and vase but the waterglass, can I foil that and still put my lead where it should be. Gee I can't seem to explain this. I guess I could do the whole thing in lead. The flower turned out so well, I just thought maybe I should foil it. Trying to do something different. Your input appreciated. Clarification upon request, I can try to make it even more confusing. :-) I have thought about this all day and figured I would jump on in. I have learned so much just reading all my e-mail.

The scratches you described sound like the kind from the rollers the glass rides on after it is rolled out, during the cool-down process. If scratched in manufacturing it would make no difference what size piece you would look at. "Are all stores the same?", Not really, when we received glass from a manufacturer that was scratched we sold it (in-store only) as seconds with a healthy mark-down. Good stores depend on repeat business and will not mess with this problem. We clean glass before cutting the full sheets and check them for this and other defects. >I didn't bother >checking lg stuff in back. (though they don't let you touch any way) A glass store might not let a customer handle larger sheets of glass. Many times our customers shoved glass into bins causing other sheets to crack (but not break). Later when the glass was touched the broken sheet would fall out of the bin like a guillotine onto an unsuspecting person. Another problem is just what you described; many people, including people in-the-business do not know how to properly handle glass without damaging it. >Soooo do all of you have to inspect every piece front and back (this >piece had a blob of glass on the front also ) before purchasing ? or >what? Deal with a responsible company and this should not be a problem. We even ship glass out of the country without a problem, our customers are not able to look at each piece, even so, our mail order customers are happy with their glass. We are extremely careful with glass selections for shipment and we only sell first quality glass. >At the time i wasn't using a light table. since then took a >weekend and now I have a door w/light on 4x4's.

The Inland Twin Spin with beveling kit I have leaves a LOT to be desired and I dont really have the $$ to go with commercial Glastar equipment etc... Byron...

Am I making any sense at all. So the effect will be the foiled flower and vase and the lead looking like a leaded window.<< Sure you can mix the two techniques. In fact, in the window you describe mixing lead and foil seems like the best choice. When finishing the lead/foil window I recommend you putty the leaded portion first and patina the foiled portion second.

Hi Eljay- We often mix lead and foil... well, I shouldn't say often.... we do mostly lead work.

I usually mark the glass edges of the foiled pieces that will slide into the lead channel so I don't actually foil that edge. Does that make sense? A picture would be worth a thousand words here!

Even a dealer that takes great care with storing glass will from time to time have scratches that are unacceptable. Straight out of the factory case glass may also be scratched. Hand select each piece of glass at the point of pruchase. If the glass is not clean then ask for cleaning supplies. This inspection will also allow you to get a good feel for the glass and perhaps select from an interesting area of the sheet. It is, perhaps, second only to a good cartoon for the overall success of the project. Also inspect your glass for scratches prior to cutting and immediately before leading up. Failure to do so will leave you with what you get. Storing glass verticaly helps to prevent scratching. Stacking glass is a no no because any movement between the sheets is likely to result in scratching. Bob ____ Bob Duchesneau Mountain Meadow Stained Glass 92026 Want to talk glass?

A through the wall fan taking a suction on the area you do most of your soldering and puttying is the idea. Another one on the wall behind the kiln will make your summers more pleasent.

Congratulations. So despite some of the rather intriguing suggestions for hiding elephants that have been presented so far on bungi (in the fridge E? how big is your fridge?), here's one that might have a little taste of what you're looking for. You might want to get hold of some of Bev Doolittle's work and have a look at that. She's absolutely masterful at hiding animal faces (and sometimes humans) in her work. I have absolutely no idea how one would replicate this work in glass though. For instance, look at one of her rocks long enough and it becomes a native elder or a grizzly. Good luck C.

Friday afternoon I spent 4 hours at the emergency room of our local hospital nursing my husband, who managed to very nicely slice his index finger left hand while walking past one of my large sheets of glass. Three stiches. Not good since he's a cellist, and had a solo with an orchestra that night.

Does not seem to make any difference. My chipping hammer is only about 6 ounces and has a blunt chisel carbide tip. For casual use a tool steel tip kept sharpened should work just as well. You might be able to get away with using a 1/2" wide cold chisel and an ordinary hammer. It doesn't take much of a blow. Wear safety glasses and be careful because the shards are sharper than anything Gillette ever sold. Take a few minutes to practice and develop your technique.

Although we spent most of our time in epcot we did spend some time in the Magic Kingdom...and man...you arent kidding about those mosaics. I spent a fair amount of time there...contimplating the difficulty of the work and the size. I could only imagine how many times a person would have to stand way back to look at their work. Very impressive. My other favorite part of the trip was seeing Louis Gossett Jr tell the story of Christmas with a 50 peice orchestra and forgot how many hundred voice choir. Emotional as I am, I found myself moved to tears more than once. So embarrassing to be so emotional! ;o) Anyway...that man has such an amazing voice. My sister got the tickets as a surprise to me very early on (as she knew how I would love it) and we got very very good seats. (Just behind Mr Gosset's family!)

I actually have not used a Gemstone bevel machine, but I am sure that for doing small jobs such as cut offs that it would probably work fine, where you might run into problems is when you try to do long straight lines that is where most of the smaller machines can be frustrating but I believe that with enough patience and practice one can master anything.They have a class on these bevelers at the show in Vegas, perhaps it would be worth it to go try one first hand with someone there who could show you and answer all of your questions.

The show was disapointing to everyone. Yesterday was a gorgeous sunny and warm day. Today started very similarly, but started a downpour about 20 minutes before the show opened. Oh joy. I felt very good about both my work and display. The work of the past 13 days or so did not pay off financially today (which we really could have used) but I think some work will come of it. Lots of people showed alot of interest in *my original* work. This was very pleasing. Alot of people showed interest and asked good questions and took cards and flyers. Some just took cards. About 5 told me they would get in touch with me after Christmas. One woman showed more interest than anyone, and had more than a limited knowledge of stained glass work, and is interested in my making a pretty stone for her 2 month old baby girls' grave. I have cried over that one more than once today! See why I want to stay out of social work? Anyway...she and I exchanged email addresses...she is going home to Texas...and I will send her pictures of ideas...she is interested in a small lamb or cherub type angel. I told her I would get some ideas to her soon...and promised I could do something appropriate and make it very reasonable. (I will do it cheap for her) I was surprised that most interest was shown in my stones. They are pretty...but didnt expect the interest (even without a sale) I was not expected to sell one as so many recently have said they havent sold a stone at their most recent shows. I figure they will sell much better come spring and gardening season. One elderly woman, stated she wanted a stained glass window put into her bathroom... I wont worry about that one unless I hear from her again...**then refer her elswhere! ;o) (I am not remotely qualified for an installation) I did make back my booth fee and a bit more...but cost in prep for the show far exceed any brought in by the show. I had several people tell me that they make stained glass stones, but not a pretty as mine...and asked for advice. Asked lots of questions about concrete. Two women from the school said they have a big project they are working on for the grounds and are interested in dicussing with me the possibility of my doing something decorative with stained glass and concrete in the middle of it to brighten it all up. Could be a good thing...Got different messages from each woman....(they need to talk amongst themselves awhile). Gave them some names of some people that can help them with the other part of the project (including Seattles Pikes Place Market, who did a similar fund raising project about 14 yrs ago) Well...sorry to turn into a book...the show was not really good, but not really bad....time will tell whether the exposure did any good or not! ;o) Kind of wish for my husbands' sake I had had better sales... Think he was really expecting more, as was I. I really expected to sell all of my ornaments. My snowman ornaments were a hit. People really liked them. There was one guy there with hot glass...(beautiful work) said it was an awful show for him today. I dont think anyone sold much...and there was very little traffic. Way too few people showed. Not too disapointed, but damn the weather.

Of course, anything generated from a computer image is going to be pixilated. The more you enlarge it, the larger the pixels will be, although their size could be smaller or larger depending on the resolution of the image. It'd be an interesting approach to mosaic.

If the section with the bad foil is on the inside (you will be soldering it against another piece) go ahead and patch. If the section to be resoldered is on the outside and will show, be sure the foil starts and stops so it is on the inside and will be soldered with another piece. The reason for this is that solder will not cover the seam where you try to join it. If this is on the outside, it will show.

What you can determine easily is the approximate length of the top and bottom edges of each panel. Here goes... Figure out the circumference (length around a circle) of the top and bottom openings by multiplying their diameters by everyone's favorite Greek letter pi, which is 3.14 plus change. Then divide the top circumference by the number of panels to get the length of the top edge. Do a similar division to get the length of the bottom edge. You can then draw a trapezoidal template of whatever height you like. Just make sure you center the top edge horizontally over the bottom edge. If you *really* need to figure out angles, the angle between the bottom edge and a side is angle = arctangent (2 * h / (b - t)) where h is the panel height, b is the length of the bottom edge and t is the length of the top edge. The angle between the top edge and a side is 180 degrees minus the angle you just calculated. Let me know privately if you need to be really precise. I would hate to interrupt the tequilla thread with a bunch of equations ;-) The approximation gets better as the number of sides increases, that is, as the shade gets closer and closer to being circular. For an 8-sided shade, for example, this approximation overestimates top and bottom edge lengths by about 3%. Also, as the diameters get larger you can safely ignore the distinction between inside and outside diameter arising from glass thickness. Bonus round...who has a formula for the height of the shade given the panel height and the information Chris provided???

Make sure your pieces are not too small to begin with since they will only get smaller. Be careful not to contaminate the glass when breaking. There's all sorts of metal particles (solder, lead) that can scratch the glass if they get into the tumbler. Clean off the glass before breaking. If you do the breaking in a bucket, clean the bucket first. If you put pieces into a bag, be careful, the bag will surely tear (at least a little). Small pieces will "disappear" in a tumbler. That is, they get ground up into dust. Generally, it is good to have some small pieces in the tumbler.

More Christmas Stories and Poems http://www.night.net/christmas/poems12.html-ssi 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winter's nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name; "Now, DASHER! now, DANCER! now, PRANCER and VIXEN! On, COMET! on CUPID! on, DONDER and BLITZEN! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!" As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my hand, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and a little round belly, That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, "HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!" -- ~The most wasted day of all is that on which you have not laughed~ ---- 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 Dec 7 17:43:45 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Mon, 7 Dec 1998 14:18:24 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #9 built 1998-Oct-12) X-Path: aries17.uwaterloo.ca!dmg From: "Daniel M.

Knowing A from the previous calculation, you can compute d and y as: cos(A) = h /D , hence d = D = h * cos (A) Now, the trick to compute the angle B, which is what Chris wanted in the first place, is to compute x and z. They depend on the number of panels. Howard has suggested a simple method: divide the perimeter by the number of sides. So I will not cover that here, unless you want the _precise_ size. So now we know d (equal to D), x and z. Enough to compute y: y^2 + (z-x)^2/4 = d^2 y = sqrt(d^2 - (z-x)^2/4) where sqrt is the square root. You can also compute the angle B as follows: cos(B) = (z-x)/2d I'll check this data as soon as I get home, maybe I can make a WWW page that will compute this distances, it will be trivial. Obviously it is needed to account for the thickness of the 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 | | -- Daniel M.

You can never predict what you will do at a show or what will sell. It will be either the old old stuff or the new stuff. I'm sure you heard the "stuff" word a zillion and one times this past weekend. Keep working on your inventory to build it up. I'm find for me selling 10% of my inventory at a show is good. I carry a very large inventory and maintain it. I only do two or three shows a year, but from the contacts I've made I can continue to sell from home on a consistent basis. Another thing you might do is start a mailing list to inform your customers and those that are interested in your work but not ready to buy that day where you will be showing next. Did you make alot of Christmas ornaments? It has been my experience that people do not spend alot of money on holiday "stuff" glass, except for maybe angels and santa's. Talk to the other vendors around you to find out where they show. They will be your best source on good shows and what sells for them. Look around and see what others are selling and I don't mean just glass. Snowmen are big right now, so make a few of those for your inventory. Be alert to the current decorating colors and whats hot and you should be okay. Don't let this experience get you down! My first show I went out and sat in the sun and made a whole whopping $26. My husband was my best supporter and encouraged me to continue saying things would get better and they certainly have. I've put two girls (and they aren't cheap) through college. The shows will get better for you, just be patient and keep cutting. Hope this helps.

Many things you write about are totally unknown to me. I have ordered catalogues through which I hope to learn the names of products and terms. I am creating a work area in the basement and hope to have fun this winter exploring my new hobby.

Now I no longer feel like a voyeur or even someone reading another's mail. I will now become a part of the group if you will let this beginner ask stupid questions.

There were people, but they weren't even buying food! I can't even say, at the end of a show, if it's been good or bad, until I see if any special orders come through. Sometimes none come through, other times I double the amount of money I made at the show. (Now, last show, there was a guy who liked some window corners we had, but weren't sure they'd go with his wallpaper, so was going to go home and get his wallpaper, and maybe we'd do up the pattern to match the wallpaper. He wanted it for Christmas, so we told him we'd have to know IMMEDIATELY. When he came back, no wallpaper. He decided that what we had was just fine and bought it. Whew!)

(Formulas b = pi * bottom_diameter / panel_count and t = pi * top_diameter / panel_count were described in words, not equations, in my post.) Also, my h is the height of a single panel--the slant height of the shade, if you will--which is missing information in Chris's original question.

Looks like tornado season blew through my little studio (not to mention the house) and hit the cement and sand first! Each of my tables appears to be in the midst of a major project....sand and cement and concrete on one...floor of course is covered, glass is splashed etc... One darling little ornament sitting looking like I am taking a short soldering break, only the iron is ice cold... My grinder is crying out to be cleaned. The ring saw is crying for a blade (Gary bought me one, then he used it and broke the blade)....my drawing table is completely covered...etc... My last pour was a nightmare. My concrete guy (and his helper) picked Thanksgiving weekend to get married! DIDNT HE KNOW I HAD A SHOW COMING UP????? I didnt have all the sand I needed. My husband goes to Home Depot or some such place and buys me sand. ARGHHH....not even near what I am used to. I had to pour that day...or not have these 4 stones that I had planned along for the show. In the middle of the pour I start to freak out because the texture, look and *feel of it is sooo totally different. I start wondering...did I mix 3 to 1? 4 to 1? The color is wrong...isnt white enough..must have mixed it 4 to 1...Oh noo add more cement... Then I realise... that when figuring my amounts I forgot about adding in enough for a 16" hex....meanwhile, I have already poured all the concrete I have mixed into 2 14"ers a paver and the hex. So...make more! This time I add more cement...and pour into these molds for the 3rd time! When all was said and done...the top of the pours looked like frothy cream....Obvious the mix is too rich. Sheesh...here I am at close to midnight thinking ok...do I scoop all this out of my molds rescue my glass and wash it off...and start over????? Too tired. Said nope, risk it. They came out beautiful. Called my concrete guy today, explained what happened...and asked him... several different mixes in one pour...gradually richer with each mix (more cement) will they crack between mixes? He said if it was wet enough it will not!!! WHEW!! I *pour* my cement. YEA!!!!!! I am going to hang onto these stones for awhile to make sure they are *ok*. Still a little worried. If nothing else, I can baby them, and keep them as samples, as they look beautiful. Sure didnt accomplish much today. Did admire some of my work of the last couple of weeks today...and that was all the glass I touched. Did replace some bandaides and triple antibiotic ointment several times though. Hands are healing well! ;o) Ok. I'll be quiet now.

Roll-out bins are also great for wheeling around your bags of stepping-stone cement as well as non-glass stuff like hydraulic jack/jack stands/other car repair equipment.

Saturday, my local shop owner put one of my patterns in her shop for sale. I may have told ya'll I was making a small Hatteras Lighthouse (9") light for my brother for Christmas gift. As I designed the thing, I drew it in detail with Autocad. Finished the pattern before I finished the actual lighthouse and had to go back and alter the order of construction to suit real life. The pattern and instructions turned out to be 15 pages (11" x 17") and the autocad makes it just ever so neat. She's selling them for $12.95 and I get 75%. Anyway, a friend was at the shop today and called to say the shop had sold 2 of my patterns. It helps that my glass prototype was on display in the shop. Brother will get the second one I make for Christmas. I'm just so excited that my pattern has sold. I told the shop owner I'd not put the pattern anywhere else for a while. She is on the way to the outer banks (Hatteras) and at an ideal location for the sale of this pattern. But who knows, maybe I'll hit the big time and be famous for my series of lighthouse patterns. :) Linda Campbell ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Tue Dec 8 10:48:38 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Tue, 8 Dec 1998 09:51:58 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #9 built 1998-Oct-12) X-Path: aol.com!CncptThnkr From: CncptThnkr@aol.com To: byronw@eatumup.com, glass@bungi.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Subject: Re: Shop Ideas?

That made for short runs of connections and almost drove me nuts listening to both of these machines at once. Now my compressor and vacuum are remote from the sandblast cabinet and peace and guiet reigns. The compressor turns itself on and the vacuum goes on when the light in the cabinet is turned on. The compressor and vacuum are remote from each other as I do not like the idea of the compressor picking up the output of the vacuum. I suggest you consider doing the same. It is much nicer and perhaps healthier just hearing the gentle hiss of the blaster doing its work. Bob ____ Bob Duchesneau Mountain Meadow Stained Glass 92026 Want to talk glass?

Since the lighthouse is only 9 inches tall, each of the pieces will fit on a sheet without taping together or anything. But I wanted plenty of room and I described each step in detail with full size drawings. That's why it took 15 sheets, basically 14 steps to a lighthouse. Actually, the shop owner die ask me if I would design and build one about 2-3 feet tall. She said she could sell several and she's really into flowers and panel, not 3-d. I told her I would think about it but that I couldn't just enlarge this pattern because so much more detail woild be required for a larger object. This pattern has 128 pieces and I consider it really simple to do (cause my instructions are basic and simple). I can't imagine how many pieces would be in a house 2-3 feet tall, what with all the detail to fill the blank spaces.

A couple of Decembers ago when I was out of work and Christie's business was picking up (she was still working at home at the time, no North Pole), she called me up and asked me how would I like to learn to do stained glass, she could use some help. So I worked a day here and a day there for her, and once she got the shop, the business took off so fast that I've been there anywhere from 2 days a week to 14 days straight......

Does that make sense? On the other hand, if you were building a sized window with many hundreds of pieces of glass, that little bit of pin spacing between each piece would guarantee a "growing" window as you built. Not good. The bottom line: No, we don't do this and have had no problems with breakage. I wouldn't waste the time.

I mean the ones with the adjustable set screw. I used the M-80 for a period of time and then found that it just sat around taking up space so I sold it as used. It works pretty good but on heavy glass seems to have a built in problem. The tubler handles bend slightly and store a lot of energy. When the glass starts to break, this energy is transmitted to the glass and often the score does not run true. With metal running pliars, the set screw can be set so that there is no force transmitted after the glass starts to run. I only use the set screw for difficult cuts. Use the metal breakers without setting the screw for the majority of cuts because the alignment of the metal runner jaws helps to part the score evenly. Plastic runners are not an acceptable substitute for a good pair of metal runners as they also store a lot of energy in the handles. I have a Ringstar and do not like it nearly as well as my metal runners. I keep it around so I can demonstrate how it is inferior to metal runners.

This list will, in time, introduce you to wonderfully talented and artistic(in the broadest sense, to include sensitivity) human beings, who happen to share a common love of the glass arts. As far as learning, there isn't a better place, unless you can take a few years off, or out of your current life. Some of these people are incredibly brilliant artisans, who as you've seen, don't hesitate lend a hand to even the most inexperienced. Once in a while, you'll encounter someone who obviously suffers from irregularity, as will be evident in some postings. The banter encountered here is often urbane, and witty, but always engaging.

I am trying to get samples from them but this may take a while. Apparently production is under way now and they have sorted out their teething problems. No clues about pricing yet but it aint going to be cheap :-( So got to start saving up. They dont know if H-W are sending stocks across the pond, but when the news reporters were interviewing the head honcho months ago he said that most of their inventory was destined for export, so unless they have changed their plans you may have supplies before we do.

Another shop in the Tri County area is the Tiffany Art Glass Shop run by a very nice lady their phone #671-artt or 671-2788. Then their is a shop in Miamitown between Cinti and Harrison Oh. called Glass Creations and they are also very good always having what I call specialized classes on how to make an Angel for example as well as regular classes.Then finally on the East side of town their is a shop called the Stained glass center of Cinti, phone #831-3603, this one is new and I don't have any first hand experience with them so I really can't give them a thumbs up or down.depending on where she lives I think I covered all of the shops that have classes except one in Northern Ky. Kaleidoscope Glass Studio run by Cliff Kennedy you may have seen one of his books he has 2 pattern books published, phone#491-2222 There you have it that covers them all I believe. I have had dealings with all of these shops with the exception of the new one that I mentioned and any of them would be great for your freind. Tell her Good Luck and have fun .

I will continue to do it my way. Dani's answer below is basically what her reasoning was but I still don't like the way it looks when done. Now for my other question: I do quite a bit of small foil overlay - mostly eyes. I can't just use the solder blob as the eye has to be almond shaped as opposed to round. It also is two small to work with a piece of foil and then silicon it on ( at least for me). The problem is that sometimes the glass cracks and sometimes not. Now I realize the temp has a lot to do with this so on cold days I do try to warm it up first, but it doesn't always work. I do keep my iron temp very low. If I put a damp towel under it will that help or will I be creating more of a problem as far as temp variation? I would also like to say that I have been on this list, on and off, for about 4 years now and what I have learned from this group has been astounding. I really enjoy reading it.

I can't imagine why the glass would crack with that. I have used large overlays (more than a square inch) and have never had a cracking problem unless I had the glass under stress - like if I forced a 3-D object into square when my pieces weren't really square. But I've never had a crack on an overlay. The trick is to daub the lead on, not paint it on. I find if I stay too long, the glue releases and I no longer have an overlay. At any rate, I think putting a wet anything under your work would worsen the problem. Your mileage may vary. Others may disagree. Linda -----Original Message----- Now for my other question: I do quite a bit of small foil overlay - mostly eyes. I can't just use the solder blob as the eye has to be almond shaped as opposed to round. It also is two small to work with a piece of foil and then silicon it on ( at least for me). The problem is that sometimes the glass cracks and sometimes not. Now I realize the temp has a lot to do with this so on cold days I do try to warm it up first, but it doesn't always work. I do keep my iron temp very low. If I put a damp towel under it will that help or will I be creating more of a problem as far as temp variation? ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Wed Dec 9 10:31:45 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Wed, 9 Dec 1998 09:41:28 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #9 built 1998-Oct-12) X-Path: teleport.com!weaver51 From: "Howard" To: Content-Type: multipart/alternative; Subject: 'bout time!

For nice little tight curves I like to use them to start a run at each end. Once the score is started from each end there is little chance of the score failing to run true. I do not seem to have a need to cut horseshoe shapes but would use the runners in the same way. Get the Morton M-80 if you prefer breaking from the middle. For larger pieces I use the small ball on the end of an auto radio ariel as a breaking button. Use my hands or the Morton small breaker to apply force depending on the size of the piece.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until fluffy. Add the egg and extracts and beat until blended. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining dry ingredients. On low speed, gradually add them to the butter mixture and mix just until the dough can be gathered into a ball. Scrape the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap and use the wrap, not your fingers, to press the dough together to form a thick flat disc. Wrap it well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably no longer than 3 hours. Place 2 oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Separate the sour balls into individual colors and pulverize them separately in a blender or food processor. Place each color in a small container and set aside. Using about a quarter of the dough at one time, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap or on a lightly floured counter. Cut out cookies with a 3-inch cookie cutter, spraying or greasing the cutter as needed to prevent sticking. With a small, angled metal spatula or pancake turner, transfer the cookies to the prepared cookie sheets. If you are planning to hang the cookies, make small holes with the blunt end of a wooden skewer or with a soda straw. Cut out the shapes for the stained glass in each cookie with small cutters or with a small sharp knife. (I make extensive use of canape cutters.) Use the tip of a small sharp knife to fill the holes with candy pieces, filling just to the top of the dough. (If you fill the holes with too much candy, it will overflow onto the cookie.) Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned and the candy has melted completely. For even baking, rotate the cookie sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through the baking period. Watch carefully toward the end of the baking time to see that the candy does not start to caramelize and turn brown. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the cookie sheets. Carefully peel off the aluminum foil. Store in an airtight container, between sheets of waxed paper, at room temperature. Keeps for several weeks. HINTS: Saran Wrap is the ideal plastic wrap for rolling the dough because it is heavy and it lies very flat. Waxed paper is the second choice. For precise cutouts, chill the dough after the impressions are made and remove the cutout dough with the tip of a sharp knife after the dough has firmed up enough for each cutout to come out in a clean piece. If you use a blender to pulverize the hard candy, drop the candy with the blender motor running to keep them from getting stuck under the blades. Allow the cookie sheet to cool completely before using it for another batch. Distribute the cookies evenly around the cookie sheet. Avoid crowding the cookies into one section of the cookie sheet, leaving a large area bare. ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Wed Dec 9 13:54:07 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Wed, 9 Dec 1998 11:24:24 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #9 built 1998-Oct-12) X-Path: compuserve.com!GreerStudios From: Dani Greer To: "Karen L.

It's considered very bad form. We have stools, but only the cats use them. Our upstairs tables are 38 inches high which is perfect for me (I'm 5'10"), but Michael could use these to be a few inches higher for his height. Also, I think it's easier for women to cut glass with a bit lower table. On the other hand, it saves your back to have a little higher table when you're building. Michael just pointed out to me that in our studio the height of the table depends on where you're measuring... it varies from 36 -38 inches - we have old and slightly sagging areas on the floors, so the tables have been = built to accomodate the valleys!

So far I haven't found that but I did stumble upon a stained glass candy recipe. Hope this helps. Best wishes to all of you for wonderful holidays. Irene Mermelstein << Stained Glass Candy Recipe By : Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : None Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 3 3/4 cups white sugar 1 1/2 cups Lily white syrup (or Karo -- must be colorless) 1 cup water food coloring oil based flavorings (I use Wilton's) 1 tin foil icing sugar (approx 10 cups) (can be re-used over and over) sharp pair of scissors candy thermometer volunteers to help cut! Mix the white sugar, white syrup, and water in a medium sized pot. Add the food coloring you want (green for spearmint, orange for orange) Bring to a boil, and boil until candy thermometer reaches 300F degrees. (Can take up to 20 minutes) Stir to mix all the ingredients, but once it starts to boil, do not touch. Pot must be big enough to allow for double, as it rises as it boils While the candy mixture is boiling, shape a large piece of tin foil by folding up the sides and ends. (I use the large foil about 3 feet long) to create a large cookie sheet type shape. Put the icing sugar on the foil to completely cover it, and bank up the sides with icing sugar. When the candy mixture has reached 300F, remove from heat. Let sit about 10 seconds and stir to cool slightly (heavy emphasis on SLIGHTLY) Then add about 1 to 1-1/2 tsp of the oil based flavorings depending on how strong you want the flavor. Stir until mixed (may boil a bit and DON'T stand over top of pot as flavor with escape in the air and up your nose!! 8-} ) Once flavoring is combined, pour mixture onto the icing sugar and use rubber spatula to scrape all mixture out of pot. Put pot, spatula and candy thermometer into sinkful of hot soapy water. If you allow it to harden you won't be saying nice things about me at all!! 8-} As candy is cooling, keep checking by trying to pull up the edges. Once it gets to the consistency that you can lift it a little, start cutting it FAST! I cut off a chunk and then cut it up into bite-sized pieces. The outside will cool first so you have to watch it. If it hardens to quickly you will end up with a good size lollipop that you won't be able to cut. It will shatter like glass. Continue working your way around until all is cut. Then I take all the candy and put it in a strainer that is sitting over a bowl. Shake some of the excess icing sugar off candy and allow to cool thoroughly. Pack in airtight containers. I find Zip-Loc Freezer bags pretty good. This recipe makes about 2 lbs candy. Once I have done all the flavors that I want, then I set up all the bags and put about 10 of each flavor into a smaller zip-loc and seal. They make great Christmas gifts for family and all the various people you give to....mailman, garbage man, paperboy, school teachers, your kids friends..etc. I figure if the kids have to help me cut, they get some to give to their friends.. Besides.. makes a good bribe to get them to help!! >> ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Wed Dec 9 20:20:37 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Wed, 9 Dec 1998 14:48:30 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #9 built 1998-Oct-12) X-Path: home.com!esavad From: "M.

I stumbled on this in a newsletter that I receive and thought that it might be cute to send to you all. A nice addition to the standard we have already received. :) Irene << 'Twas the night before Christmas... (politically correct version!) 'Twas the night before Christmas and Santa's a wreck... How to live in a world that's politically correct? His workers no longer would answer to "Elves", "Vertically Challenged" they were calling themselves. And labor conditions at the north pole Were alleged by the union to stifle the soul. Four reindeer had vanished, without much propriety, Released to the wilds by the Humane Society. And equal employment had made it quite clear That Santa had better not use just reindeer. So Dancer and Donner, Comet and Cupid, Were replaced with 4 pigs, and you know that looked stupid! The runners had been removed from his sleigh; The ruts were termed dangerous by the E.P.A. And people had started to call for the cops When they heard sled noises on their roof-tops. Second-hand smoke from his pipe had his workers quite frightened. His fur trimmed red suit was called "Unenlightened." And to show you the strangeness of life's ebbs and flows, Rudolf was suing over unauthorized use of his nose And had gone on Geraldo, in front of the nation, Demanding millions in over-due compensation. So, half of the reindeer were gone; and his wife, Who suddenly said she'd enough of this life, Joined a self-help group, packed, and left in a whiz, Demanding from now on her title was Ms. And as for the gifts, why, he'd ne'er had a notion That making a choice could cause so much commotion. Nothing of leather, nothing of fur, Which meant nothing for him. And nothing for her. Nothing that might be construed to pollute. Nothing to aim. Nothing to shoot. Nothing that clamored or made lots of noise. Nothing for just girls. Or just for the boys. Nothing that claimed to be gender specific. Nothing that's warlike or non-pacific. No candy or sweets...they were bad for the tooth. Nothing that seemed to embellish a truth. And fairy tales, while not yet forbidden, Were like Ken and Barbie, better off hidden. For they raised the hackles of those psychological Who claimed the only good gift was one ecological. No baseball, no football...someone could get hurt; Besides, playing sports exposed kids to dirt. Dolls were said to be sexist, and should be passe; And Nintendo would rot your entire brain away. So Santa just stood there, disheveled, perplexed; He just could not figure out what to do next. He tried to be merry, tried to be gay, But you've got to be careful with that word today. His sack was quite empty, limp to the ground; Nothing fully acceptable was to be found. Something special was needed, a gift that he might Give to all without angering the left or the right. A gift that would satisfy, with no indecision, Each group of people, every religion; Every ethnicity, every hue, Everyone, everywhere...even you. So here is that gift, it's price beyond worth...

As in, it moves. I finished the three flamingoes mobile today. Looks TOTALLY AWSOME, if I do humbly say so. The acrylic mobile hanging mechanism has the fishing line spaced so that the 3 flamingoes do not bump into each other. As to the 6-by and 12-by mobile holders, they have one acrylic "holder" at the top, and then different length fishing line dropping down from the acrylic holder. = Christie A.

Dr. Richard J. Jackson, Director of the National Center for Environmental Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta told Reuters Health that the finding "really emphasizes why prevention (of) lead exposure in the first place is so important." In the study, published in the December 9th issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, investigators led by Dr. Shilu Tong of the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia tested the IQ and mental development of 375 lead-exposed children, from age 2 through age 13 years. All of the children lived in Port Pirie, South Australia, described by the authors as the "site of one of the largest lead smelting facilities in the southern hemisphere." By age 2, the children had dangerously high blood levels of lead averaging 21.2 micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood. However, by the time they reached 11 to 13 years of age, this level had declined to an average 7.9 micrograms per deciliter. The authors discovered, however, that "cognitive (learning) deficit in the group with higher exposure changed little with age, even though blood levels declined substantially after age 2 years." They speculate that early lead-related neurological damage might be "reversible only below a threshold level." Most of the children in the study may have exceeded that threshold, the authors theorize, resulting in irreversible harm. Although the use of lead in products such as gasoline and paint has been banned for decades, potential sources of contamination (such as flaking paint in older dwellings, or lead-bearing water pipes) can still have serious effects on human health, especially in children. But in an interview with Reuters Health, Jackson stressed that parents of children exposed to lead should not feel hopeless. "There's a lot you can do for a child who's already been lead poisoned," he explained. "Give them calcium, remove lead from the environment, get them good schooling." But "it's better not to have been exposed in the first place, that's what this study is saying," Jackson added. SOURCE: The Journal of the American Medical Association 1998;280:1915-1919.

I was told that they were definitely going into production. Just now they were testing the lehr, calabrating it, etc. They are hoping to get into production after Christmas. Sepeartely, I have heard that their first production run (probably a trial) was sent to the USA. They must me checking on the acceptability of the product with the north American market (??) If it is of interest, I will keep in touch and post information from time to time. By the way, It is a very impressive building on the river side. You can walk from the carpark either down a ramp into the building or up a slight incline onto the glass roof. As you move toward the river, and the edge of the roof, the distance to the floor below increases until it is about 50 feet above the restaurant. It is very unsettling to be standing on structural glass! It has similarities to Corning in that there is a gallery, of changing exhibits, a permanent exhibition about glass in its various forms and uses (a kind of glass experience), and demonstrations through working glass businesses. It is different from Corning, in that there are at least four firms - production glass vessels, flat glass production (the Hartley Wood successors), two hot glass studios. In addition there are a group of craft businesses in lamp work, engraving, leaded glass, and space for more. I'm not sure if corning does this, but at Sunderland, they are offering classes in glass blowing, leaded glass, engraving and lamp work. It was worth the 3and a half hour drive ( a long distance in the UK) to visit. I'll be going again.

It's great for details and is a bake on type product (in the oven at 325). It might be a little more versatile than the sharpie method. I got mine from Hudson glass. Since I do a lot of tiny holiday type fused pins I need to make tiny eyes and little carrot noses and that sort of thing (not great art but they do sell). The paint is available in a ton of colors and is slightly raised if applied thickly or can give a watercolor effect if painted on thinly.

Hope it's interesting and helpful: "Basic Stained Glass: A Competency Based Instructor's Manual" released by Art in Architecture Press Art in Architecture Press has announced the long-awaited publication of Basic Stained Glass: A Competency Based Instructor's Manual by Peggy W. Johnsen. In a concise, four-session pre-planned set of lessons, Johnsen covers the fundamentals of working with stained glass in a way that not only allows students of the technique to learn how to make their own stained glass panels, but also allows the instructor to measure their progress against the worksheets that are provided as part of the book. Six patterns are provided for the students to progressively increase their skills. The lessons follow the natural order of stained glass practice: 1. Tools, Equipment and Materials; 2. Cutting Glass; 3. Soldering; and 4. Finishing and Framing. Johnsen also provides health and safety tips, as well as notes on glass cutting, copper foiling, soldering and flux. The worksheets cover glass cutting practice, foiling and soldering practice, the transfer of the pattern to glass, soldering, cleaning and finishing, framing with zinc borders and with wood, then finally a project evaluation. The author even includes a form that allows the members of the class to evaluate the teacher and the instruction, providing valuable feedback to those who teach stained glass techniques using the book. The patterns include a Sun Landscape, a Rainbow Landscape, Dutch Tulips, a Mallard Duck, an Iris, and a Sailboat. The book is sturdily produced in a workbook format and spiral bound so that it opens flat in the most useful way. The author, Peggy W. Johnsen, has a doctorate in education, and is an accomplished and creative artist and teacher. She began using stained glass as her art medium 12 years ago and has combined her teaching experiences in education and curriculum to develop this innovative competency based approach to the teaching of stained glass. For the past six years she has applied the competency based approach to the teaching of a wide variety of stained glass courses, i.e., leaded stained glass construction, panel lamps, kaleidoscopes, glass mosaics, glass etching, jewelry boxes, and three-dimensional gift items. Originally from Arkansas, Ms. Johnsen holds Art Minors at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. She spent the final semester of her Masters degree program at the University of Tennessee's Gatlinburg Art and Craft Center. She has taken numerous workshops from such renowned glass artists as Linda Abbot (wire wrapping), Norm and Ruth Dobbins (glass etching), Gil Reynolds (glass fusing), Robin Werner (glass painting) and spent two years in apprenticeship with Donna German of the Glass Shack in Oceano, California. Ms. Johnsen conducts weekly stained glass classes at Vandenberg Air Force Base, where she is under contract with the VAFB's Skill Development Center. She is the owner of PJs Stained Glass Studio in Santa Maria, California, specializing in custom orders, gift items, and repairs. She is active in the Los Padres Artist Guild on the central coast and serves as Parliamentarian and Chairman of the Guild's Scholarship Committee. Ms. Johnson is currently employed at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo, California, where she works as an educational administrator for special grants. -30- for more information: Art in Architecture Press, Inc. 54 Cherry Street, North Adams MA 01247 (413) 663-5512 Fax: (413) 663-7167 http://www.aiap.com/ [Home Page] ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Thu Dec 10 06:56:17 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Thu, 10 Dec 1998 04:07:21 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #9 built 1998-Oct-12) X-Path: mail2.nai.net!shad From: Family Account To: glass@bungi.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Subject: KISS Date: Thu, 10 Dec 1998 07:06:46 -0500 Message-ID: <1998Dec10.2646.0> Precedence: bulk My husband had a great idea.

Subtract the diameter of the smaller circle (the Top for this example) from the diameter of the bottom circle. Divide by 2, this will equal the base of the triangle for this calculation. (It will also give the basis for calculating the Annulus if needed). Determine the height you will need. This number will be the number used for the perpendicular side of the right triangle. Square both numbers and add together. Take the solution and take the square root of it. This will give you the length of the face of the panel. Example: Diameter of (t)op circle = 4" Diameter of (b)ottom = 18" b-t = 14" c = 14/2 = 7" (h)eight = 12" c^2 = 49" h^2 =144 c + h = 193" (l)ength of side (hypotenuse) = sqrt 193" = 13.89" Angle of top = tan A = c/h = 7/12 = .58333 = 30 deg; reciprocal = 150 Bottom = 90 - 30 = 60 deg; reciprocal = 120 To determine width of top and bottom of panels the simplest method is to take the diameter of each and multiply by pi and divide by the number of sides. For an octagon: top = (3.14159 x 4)/8 = 1.57" bottom = (3.14159 x 18)/8 = 7.06" Or P = perimeter N = number of sides R = radius of circle Perimeter of a polygon inscribed on a circle P = 2NR (sin (pi/n))* In this case top = 1.53" bottom = 6.89" Perimeter of a polygon circumscribing a circle P = 2NR (tan (pi/N))* top = 1.66" bottom = 7.46" If being exact is not a concern, then just taking the perimeters of both circles and dividing them by the number of sides will work. How do you say it? Close enough for government work? *Divide perimeter by number of sides to get the width of each panel ** Do the calculations for top and bottom If you are using a "stock" cap you are going to have to use the formula for an inscribed polygon using the diameter of the cap as your control. Providing you use the same method for top and bottom you shouldn't have a problem with lining up the panels. If you center the top dimension over the bottom dimension 13.89" apart, draw the lines to connect them, the angles of the sides will take care of themselves. If you really need to know the angle formed by the sides, draw a perpendicular line from the top edges to where they intersect with the bottom which will give you a rectangle and two right triangles. Repeat the above for this triangle to get the length of each side and the corresponding angles. The opposite side will be the inverse of these calculations. Doing this will also give you the numbers to calculate the area of each panel and give an Idea of the amount of glass needed. Area of a rectangle or square = length x width Area of a right triangle = (base x height)/2. Area of a Trapezoid = ((top + bottom)/2) * height Ciao Vic LaGreca ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Thu Dec 10 08:11:11 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Thu, 10 Dec 1998 05:36:53 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #9 built 1998-Oct-12) X-Path: memach.com!lcbell From: Linda Campbell To: Bungi Glass List Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Subject: Sarah Bross-cookie Lady Date: Thu, 10 Dec 1998 08:37:42 -0500 Message-ID: <1998Dec10.33742.0> Precedence: bulk I thought I didn't recognize that name.

Politically Correct Christmas Twas the night before Christmas and Santa's a Wreck... How to live in a world that's politically correct His workers no longer would answer to "Elves" "Vertically Challenged" they were calling themselves. And labor conditions at the North Pole Were alleged by the union to stifle the soul. Four reindeer had vanished, without much propriety, Released to the wilds by the Humane Society. And equal employment had made it quite clear That Santa had better not use just reindeer. So Dancer and Donner, Comet and Cupid, Were replaced with 4 pigs, and you know that looked stupid! The runners had been removed from his sleigh; The ruts were termed dangerous by the E.P.A. And people started to call for the cops When they heard sled noises on their roof-tops. Second-hand pipe smoke had his workers quite frightened, His fur trimmed red suit was called "Unenlightened" And to show you the strangeness of life's ebbs and flows, Rudolph was suing over unauthorized use of his nose. And had gone on Geraldo, in front of the nation, Demanding millions in over-due compensation. So half of the reindeer were gone, and his wife, Who suddenly said she'd enough of this life, Joined a self-help group, packed, and left in a whiz, Demanding from now on her title was Ms. And as for the gifts, why, he'd ne'er had a notion That making a choice could cause so much commotion. Nothing of leather, nothing of fur, Which meant nothing for him, And nothing for her. Nothing that might be construed to pollute. Nothing to aim, nothing to shoot. Nothing that clamored or made lots of noise, Nothing for just girls, Or just for the boys. Nothing that claimed to be gender specific, Nothing that's warlike or non-pacific. No candy or sweets....they were bad for the tooth, Nothing that seemed to embellish a truth. And fairy tales, while not yet forbidden, Were like Ken and Barbie, better off hidden. For they raised the hackles of those psychological, Who claimed the only good gift was one ecological. No baseball, no football...someone could get hurt, Besides playing sports exposed kids to dirt. Dolls were said to be sexist, and should be passe. And Nintendo would rot your entire brain away. So Santa just stood there, disheveled, perplexed, He just could not figure out what to do next. He tried to be merry, he tried to be gay, But you've got to be careful with that word today. His sack was quite empty, limp to the ground, Nothing fully acceptable was to be found. Something special was needed, a gift that he might Give to all without angering the left or the right. A gift that would satisfy, with no indecision, Each group of people, every religion. Every ethnicity, every hue, Everyone, everywhere...even you. So here is that gift, it's price beyond worth....

I don't know of any hard-n-fast rules. I've had an 8x10 panel hanging from two store-bought jump rings for years & years. Usually I make my own, leaving 1/2" or so wire extending at a 90 degree angle - the ring itself goes in top corner, one wire soldered horizontally & one vertically onto the framing material, zinc or copper. This ensures a good distribution of weight. For small suncatchers the jump ring is just fine.

It seems as if my sister-in-law has the same business name as a woman who owns the name as registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office. Now I went to the office above and performed a search of many businesses. I searched the database for large companies thinking that they may have registered their name. Most of them haven't. Nike holds over 50 trademarks, amazing. Now the expense of registering is enormous. But the drawback to an unregistered name is that you can go for years doing business unregistered until someone comes along, buys the name and tells you "So sorry but your using my name and I want you to stop or face legal action". It seems as if the registered name can be used by someone else if it is a different product. Bringing up Spectrum in the database brought up many people who have registered the name Spectrum but with a different product. So am I correct in assuming as long as the product is different that would make a difference in a legal case?? Now Albert was kind enough to inform me of copyright versus trademarks.

Interesting thing came up today. It seems as if my sister-in-law has the same business name as a woman who owns the name as registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office.

Now I went to the office above and performed a search of many businesses. I searched the database for large companies thinking that they may have registered their name. Most of them haven't. Nike holds over 50 trademarks, amazing.  Now the expense of registering is enormous. But the drawback to an unregistered name is that you can go for years doing business unregistered until someone comes along, buys the name and tells you "So sorry but your using my name and I want you to stop or face legal action".

It seems as if the registered name can be used by someone else if it is a different product. Bringing up Spectrum in the database brought up many people who have registered the name Spectrum but with a different product. So am I correct in assuming as long as the product is different that would make a difference in a legal case??

Now Albert was kind enough to inform me of copyright versus trademarks. Always a god in my opinion for advice is Albert. My sister-in-law of course never intended to use, abuse or even knew that this woman had her business name & visa versa. Someone could register Warner-Crivellaro and it would be theirs, Greer Gallery as theirs etc. Scary thought that is eh? I may be wrong on the W/C Charles. If I am then excuse my error.
 

See you

I would hope someone would be hard-pressed to challenge my right to name my business "Greer" since that's my = legal name. However, if I wanted the name Scheibenkleisters Studio (which today would be rather apropos), I might be inclined to register it just in case anyone else would be crazy enough to think of using it. This is happening to a neighbor as we speak... he owns Canyon Signs and is being challenged by another Canyon Signs in the state.... neither has registered the name, both have operated under that name for many years. The results will be interesting. No doubt there are other Canyon Signs in the country.... near canyons maybe;-)? What does a judge do with all those incredibly clever names like Mountain This... Lakeside That.... Westside.... Downtown... or Millennium (did I spell it right this time?) I can't *imagine anyone having a legal claim on that one!

I will say this to him. I got a chuckle out of your e-mail. It's amazing who will pop up here at bungi sometimes with personal responses.

Does anyone have a source for a candelabra cluster with six lights that also has a small spotlight in the middle? I used such a cluster on one I made a few years ago but can't seem to find it in any of the catalogs. I have never put one together myself before (I just make the shade) and don't know what else might be needed to complete it. Does the candelabra cluster come with everything you need or do you have to buy the chain, canopy, nipples, and wiring separately? I don't have much time left so need to get everything in one shot. Thanks for any input.

(Pat this is a much of a bio I can come up with for now) I am a retired securities trader (I am 53 now), that took up stained glass 12 years ago. I have done it off and on over the years, mostly on. I started out by taking a class at a small shop here in town. They didn't teach lead (don't think she was too much into glass, just owned a retail shop). But I kept plugging on my own. I have never known anyone to bounce my ideas off of so I just kept doing things and learning on my own. My creative self died, one day when my husband died of a heart attack. I could not seem to formulate ideas or do the work, it just wouldn't come. Then one day, as if by magic I woke up one morning with ideas and colors and patterns running through my mind. I could not get them on paper fast enough. I have done my own designs, I have used patterns from everyone out there. About 4 years ago I took a class at the University in lead. I found a new passion. I fell in love with a new and different way to do glass. I have ended up doing a both lead pieces, and copper foil. Like both really. I have sold my work by word of mouth. A couple art fairs here and there. I have recently decided to be more proactive and not turn down jobs because they are scary. I had a lapse of sanity and took a job a couple of weeks ago (not in glass) and it is cutting into my glass time. So that is the long and short of it. I love glass, I love working with it. I don't know it all, am willing to learn what I don't know, and willing to share (my 2 cents) with what I know. I have already learned some neat stuff since reading bungi.

The international trademark laws protect companies with instantly recognizable logos such as the Nike "Swish" or the way Coke is written from someone cutting into their sales by creating a look-alike product logo. Each country has it own trademark office and each is different in fees. What you may want to do is to incorporate your company name in the state where you are located so that the state government will not permit anyone else in your state to operate under any name identical or close to your company name. I am not a lawyer. Maybe there is one on the list who can help if anyone is concerned about their company name.

Not all of it I agree with.... >but, it was a good starting point. Personally, I find that "ergonomic design" can cause more problems than not, because if I start out *too* comfortable, I tend to stay in one position far too long and get stiff or sore spots as a result. Ironically, I find a lot of "ergonomic" furniture to be *less* comfortable in the first place than the "regular" kind. Chairs are the worst - I'm very short-legged, and always end up "perching" on the edge of the chair because it's about 2" too high for me and cuts off the circulation in the backs of my legs - especially now that the seats on most chairs seem to slope down toward the chair back. Give me a good old-fashioned flat chair seat any day! I have a private theory that "ergonomically designed" furniture is also intended partly to keep people from moving around because "all that fidgeting looks unprofessional," and tends to *only* be comfortable if you stay in one position. I've done far better by trial and error with cheap furniture and body awareness. Keep countertops a little on the low side, stand up, sit down, lean on the workbench (Christie's cutting table drives me nuts because it's on wheels and I'm forever knocking it out of its caster cups - sorry, boss!), lean back, curl up, stretch out, cross and uncross my legs, crack my knuckles (or in my case, practically every joint in my body - and no, it will *not* do you any harm unless you're otherwise injured already!), shift from one foot to the other, teach myself at least 2 ways to do everything, shift my grip on the tool and reach for the Band-aids *before* I get a blister, "if it hurts when you do that, don't do that" any more than absolutely necessary, fidget, fidget, fidget, and don't worry about what it looks like to anyone else, because the human body was made to be in motion, *not* to stand or sit in one position for an extended length of time! Getting the work done, that's what's important.

I have another >table for sitting, that's your standard "banquet table" height. I'm a very average 5'5'', and I like to have all my working surfaces, including my cutting table, at "standard table height" or thereabouts. A cutting table that's too high puts pressure on my "tennis elbow" - I like to keep my cutting arm fairly straight. I especially like to have my grinder down low enough so I can look almost straight down on it (in general I like to be able to "look down" on whatever I'm doing, don't mind bending over a bit to do it). I keep a low bar stool handy (even took one up to Christie's) so I can stand up or sit down as I choose - I have to keep shifting position every so often so my sacro-iliac doesn't act up (my butt literally goes out of joint occasionally, especially if I stand on a hard surface too long, and it hurts like hell!). Christie's sink counter (where her grinder is) is *way* up high (hits me around the bottom of my rib cage, I'm guessing around 40" high?) to accommodate one of those big deep laundry sinks in addition to sheet glass storage underneath. I keep one of those Rubbermaid one-step stools under the counter for when I have to grind. My main work table is a sheet of plywood mounted across the bodies of two 30" high x 30" wide 3-drawer chests of drawers I rescued in a dumpster dive. the drawers were missing, so I laid thin plywood in the drawer openings for shelves. The shelves are 16" deep - a perfect size to store bins of work-in- progress (like those endless candle chimneys), or plastic shoe boxes of glass scraps. And the "tunnel" through the middle is where the rollout bin of medium-sized sheets of glass lives.

The cost including attorney fees was less than $1000. Basically the rule of thumb is if the name is part of the "public domain" it can't be copyrighted. Hence, as Dani pointed out, names that include words such as "lakeside", "mountain", "Canyon" etc. can't be copyrighted. However the entire ensemble of the name, how it is put together and illustrated, can be. That is why there has been the rush to logo's, by many companies, in the past few decades. We have a company that has been in existence since 1903. When it was purchased, although the name, physical plant, accounts, receivables, and good will etc., were turned over, a restriction of the use of a particular shaped advertising sign, which had been trademarked, was part of the deal.

Lie the dragon down on its side and put the first wing on, tack it on the outside lightly. Then take dragon & wing gingerly, put it face down on your board. I find it helps to support the wing with a sponge or something so you're happy with the angle. Then take another sponge, same height, and take your time attaching that wing to match the first, both at point of attachment and spread...then solder them both sides. The first few I made I went crazy trying to hang with a jump ring from the middle of the body, but could never find the right center of gravity. I gave up and hang from two jump rings attached about the top of each wing. They're very popular now, almost as much as dragonflies. Good luck!

I am a new lurker and already have benefited greatly by the information and generosity of all bungis. I was introduced to the bungi group by Linda Campbell, thank you Linda, and thank you all. My name is Luanne Kane, linked forever with Lead Lines Stained Glass Studio. I was born in Amityville, New York on June 5, 1956. I lived in 9 different states before settling here in Dunedin, Florida. Dunedin is a small town (50,000 people) on the west coast of Florida. I have been married to Jim Kane for 20 years and have a daughter 13 years old. I began my journey with stained glass in 1979. I was working as a Communications Technician with AT&T Long Lines in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was a good job for the corporate world but MONEY was the only thing that kept me there. Listen to your elders, NEVER DO IT FOR THE MONEY. I always had some kind of hobby, usually craft like, so stained glass naturally interested me. I enrolled in a 5 week course and was hooked. I began slowly, making gifts and then progressing to filling orders for my friends at work. I then started participating in local craft shows, later graduating to art shows. All this, while still working my day job. After a few years, I finally had the courage to quit my real job and plunge right in to the glass world. It was a difficult decision but the best one I ever made. My husband and I moved from New Orleans to Florida in 1983 and at this point I set up a studio in a spare bedroom and started a wholesale suncatcher business. I would make say about $1,000 worth of suncatchers and hit the road. I would call on small gift shops, show the owners my glass and sell the items right out of my cases. My work was well received and before I knew I had outgrown the bedroom studio and was searching for a studio outside the home. At this time Jim and I had also decided to start a family, with a baby on the way, we either had to move the business or move us all. I opted to move the business. The storefront I found was originally to be a place to work, not a real business. The area where the studio was had terrific walk-in traffic and with the natural curiosity of people, the studio immediately turned into a stained glass studio/gift shoppe. Before I knew it, I had employees for the studio and outside salespeople. The business was good from the beginning and a lot of work, in retrospect, I don't know how I ever managed to do it all. My daughter was with me all day at work, day care was not an option for me. She literally grew up in the studio and though it may not have always been the best situation for me, it was for her. I realized after 8 years that the business had turned me from artist to merchant/manager and I was looking for a way to simplify things. By this time, our family had moved into a larger home and after much consideration, I closed the business and set up the studio in our garage. The 8 years of storefront visibility had enabled me to build a client base. I have been working from home (again) since 1993 and the freedom and flexibility of working when I please has proved to be the best way for me. I work alone, do all sales myself, have a talented woodcrafter to do all major installations, all records are in a shoe box and life is great. I still wholesale suncatchers and small panels, do custom commission work and have a line of costume jewelry that I sell mainly to art centers and trendy gift shops. I no longer do shows, they proved to be difficult for me, hard to prepare for, etc. I have been teaching since 1980, with small sized classes at the store and now individual instruction at my garage studio. It is a wonderful way to pass on my love for glass and meet and make new friends through glass. I have met some of the nicest people through this crazy glass business and some of the craziest! I will probably be in this business forever, I find it to be very therapeutic and rewarding. On my worst day, it takes about 5 minutes in my studio to feel the tension go away. I never tire of making that same pattern (one more time) for wholesale and the excitement of a big custom job basically keeps me up all night. I hope I never lose my love of glass. The business seems to have come full circle in a very short time, funny how things work out.

I will probably be in this business forever, I find it to be very therapeutic and rewarding. On my worst day, it takes about 5 minutes in my studio to feel the tension go away. I never tire of making that same pattern (one more time) for wholesale and the excitement of a big custom job basically keeps me up all night. I hope I never lose my love of glass. The business seems to have come full circle in a very short time, funny how things work out.

It must be that strange Irish logic of his (i.e. non-existant!) No wonder Toby is chomping at the bit/s. Can't say I blame him!! English Christmas food consists of turkey; Neither Toby nor me like turkey very much. I am preparing traditional Swedish Christmas fayre, consisting of huge hunk of gammon, soaked in mustard, baked gently in the oven with cloves, other spices and a thick coating of wine vinegar and mustard, served with gently pickled red cabbage. . Toby is stomping his feet and DEMANDS a real hunk of Irish Mutton this year - keep the cloves and mustard, he says!!! So no turkey! Anyhow, turkeys have to be "de-feathered", the Irish Mutton has no hair, few feathers, so the job will be easy. The gammon .... just a quick flash with the blow-torch to singe the bristles. Easy! Swedish Christmas is December 24th. So here I am preparing gammon a la mode Suedoise and Pat.... (sorry!) Irish Mutton in one household (for about 12 family & guests 'n "orphans") .... and preparing a wretched turkey for another household ( Mother-in-Law for the 25th).

Her crisp and clear focus, her modesty and unassuming ways, her knowledge of stained glass and her incredible sense of fun is quite unique. Her sense of purpose and just quietly "doing it" has my complete admiration. When she was over in UK, we discussed plans, course publications and structured teaching and all sorts of things. I have very treasured copies of some of her courses and curriculums (curriculi??) She has "out-lines" of mine. My own are still not on the press yet. So,... I am absolutely delighted (!!!) it has happened. I am (to coin an English phrase) "thrilled to bits" that Peggy's work is now coming out. Her generosity of spirit and of sharing and as a teacher is really quite something. Her ideas, thinking and communicating them are down to earth, sensible and sensitive. I for one, wish the publication of her Manual a roaring success. I for one will look forward myself to acquiring my own copy with great pride. As for a re-union in USA..... just can't wait!!! Good on you Peggy!! Everyone HERE remembers you and asks about you! "Hatching" my own Christmas message to you.... Congratulations!!!! Am bursting with Pride!

Now it could be that he's just forgotten to take his medication since the Rest Home released him in which case we must forgive him. Or it could be a bald-faced attempt at hoodwinkery. My vote goes for the latter. Maybe we should at least get Toby over here for a few days. Not to Texas, but, say, Oklahoma, where he could be on call.

I grew up in a small farming town outside of Austin and still visit there quite frequently. When I was very small my grandmother started teaching me how to do various types of needlework. From there I moved on to any kind of craft I could find. After marrying my first husband in 1982, I began doing ceramics. This is where I really took off! I had no idea that I could paint before I attempted ceramics. The ceramics continued for many years and I actually opened a ceramic shop. I was certified as an instructor by one of the well-known manufacturers and absolutely loved teaching. The problem was I hated everything else. I was much too young and undisciplined to stay on top of the bookkeeping/taxes etc. After about 2 years I was on the verge of divorce and the shop just was not stable enough to support me and my 3 year old daughter. Time to find a real job. I went to work as a secretary, the divorce went through and due to financial concerns, crafts were pretty much out of the question for many years. As a matter of fact, my ex got "custody" of my kilns and all my molds in the divorce agreement, which he promptly sold to another retailer. Fast forward several years to my 10 year high school reunion. Yes, I met someone special. It was really strange because we had attended kindergarten together at a private school in Austin, then both of our families had gone different directions and in our junior year we again ended up in the same place. Well within the year we were in Vegas getting married. Shortly after the wedding, he received a job offer in Maryland. Now up until this time I had only been out of Texas like 3 times in my entire life and all of a sudden we were moving to Maryland. Maryland was OK, but as any native Texan will tell you, there is no place like home. It was in Maryland that I started building doll houses. After 2 houses and a stable the apartment was no longer big enough for anymore. Besides, it was time to move back home. My husband accepted a job in the Houston area and here we are! My best friend who had been patiently waiting for me to move back took me to her Aunt's house nearly a year ago to learn stained glass. I spent a Saturday with her and made an absolutely incredible dove suncatcher! I was amazed that it was something I could do! At the time I was living in a very small apartment while looking for a house, so my next few projects were limited to very small things...more sun catchers and a couple angels. I was so lucky when we found our dream house....it had a 4-car garage! Since then I've been slowly turning half of it into my "studio." I have done a few panels (both lead and foil). My cutting has improved tremendously! My soldering is improving all the time. And the best part is that my husband started doing glass, too! He is much, much better at lead than I am, although I can still run circles around him with foil! ;-) My (now 15 year old) daughter is also doing her first piece. She is a natural at cutting because she has no fear of the glass (no fear of breaking it or messing up pieces...maybe because she isn't paying for it!!). My mother-in-law is building a new house and my very first panel was for her. She wanted me to make her a transom window to go above her bedroom door. She choose a bevel cluster and I designed a very simple panel around the cluster with a border in bevels. Not only was it my first panel, it was also my first lead project. It turned out really well! We took it to her home to show her and on the way home one piece of glass cracked, so it was also my first repair. My husband is now repairing two antique panels that the in-laws purchased "real cheap" which will also be included in their new house. That's about it! After Christmas I want to learn to do stepping stones. And, having worked with kilns before during the ceramic phase, I REALLY want to learn slumping, fusing, etc. The really amazing thing is my 4-car garage has a 220 outlet which was originally installed for a welder...all I would have to do is change out the plug! Being frequently in Austin, I had thought about writing to Patrick to see if I could meet him and see some of his work. After lurking on this list for quite awhile, I am no longer sure that I would be able to handle a meeting with Patrick. I'm afraid that he would wear his tutu and I would find myself rudely staring at his gnomon! And how would I explain that to hubby....I don't remember his glass but he has a fine gnomon! ;-) Hopefully this will satisfy that European Mutt for awhile! (Toby, I'm just kidding!)

Took 3 hours and some more re-framing of the zinc. Now I know why lead is preferred to zinc in major instal- lations - I could have shaved off the lead if it was a hair too thick. Not so the zinc. So, live and learn. In the end the three panels were installed and the customer happy. I, however, so disliked the finished product (just because I had to reframe it 3 times) that I didn't take my camera to photograph it. Christie A.

You might ask call local architects, etc. and see if you can talk them out of used mylar and exchange it for a suncatcher or two. Also, getting to know these type people is good for business.

It is the haunch of the pig which has been either salted , or (as in Sweden) gently smoked over juniper berries. Lutfisk? Yep we have that too, It's cod that has been cut open, streteched across a kind of trellis, salted and sundried for about 6 months. Before you cook it, you have to soak for about 2 weeks in a mustard solution. When you cook it, you have to be extremely careful with the timing, or it turns out like wall-paper glue. My Lutfisk turned out like an inedible "mush" of wall-paper glue of the worst kind, so I am not repeating that culinary experiment again. You should be so lucky; at least you have not been exposed to Swedish "Surstroemming". (roughly translated: sour baltic herring), You catch it, kill it, bury it into the ground and let it ferment for about 6 months, then dig it up again, tin it or bottle it. You need to be kind of careful when you open the tin or bottle, as it's likely to explode. Served with new potatoes, parsley and dill , raw-grated carrots and plenty of Swedish "schnapps". A certain amount of it tends to get lodged in the ceiling, assuring at least one uninhabited room in the house for a period of time..... Ahhhh... those Swedish summers....... Lucia-Day?? Ah Yes! Queen of Lights, with live candles in her hair, tip-toeing through the houses on December 13th, armed with a coffee-pot, "lussekatt" (a particular piece of pastry) and a bucket of water (in case the candles set her hair on fire....). She was actually a Swedish Florence Nightingale once upon a time, bringing solace, coffe and cheer to wounded soldiers in wintry Swedish camps.

I have a chunky, fairly heavy-duty toyo oil-cutter, which cost me an arm and a leg when I bought it. It has now gone through one head replacement. It sits nicely in my hand and travels with me to and from my classes. My cutter is rather like my fountain pen (yeah.... still use one of those!). Nobody else is allowed to TOUCH it. I often put it down in class and then panic wondering where it is. My students normally find it again. They are under pain of DEATH if I catch any of them using it. By the same token, some of my "advanced" students frequently have advanced from the metal basic Shaw's cutters and have invested in smaller oil-cutters and so I won't use theirs, out of respect. I firmly believe that a cutter gets conditioned and adjusted by the hand that uses it, rather like a fountain pen. Once another hand uses it, it gets out of balance. Maybe this is nonsense, but that's how I feel about it.

I have a very limited choice of glass at the only retailer I have here, and my lack of experience with regards to the different types of glass available in the market doesn't help any. I have been asked to create a 4x6 panel of Buddha. I have been looking around for the right pose and image that I could use as my starting point. But one thing that I am sure of now is some of the colors required. I need a lot of reds, and gold. I am not sure which companies make the best glass in that colors. Would appreciete if you could name a few, companies and product numbers if possible, then I can ask for it at my supplier's. Any other help in the making of Buddha would be of help too.

However, I don't like the idea that I am going to "be bugged". Bungi is something I do for recreation...and I participate with a lot of direct replies to individuals because I want to, not because I have to. It sounds to me like you are not getting the response you'd hoped for, and I'm wondering if this is why. Somehow, to me, your demands for information don't have the same lighthearted flair that Patrick's do. There's actually a lot of bungi information available...probably enough for you to put together into the package you desire to create. I know this for a fact since I've been collecting studio ideas during this last flurry of posts and also just cleaned out my computer's email files for the last 18 months...saving everything that was a studio tip into its own file for my future reference. So why not just go to the archives and dig there instead of being so demanding...it may be your approach that's responsible for the lack of results. I hope you will not be personally offended by this...I've been sitting with the idea of making this reply since you made your last posts, and it still correctly reflects the feelings your "demands" create in me.

I have a Toyo, and with all of your good advice, I was not able to change it from one that would swivel to one that would just cut straight. So, I bought another cutter with the idea of giving my original Toyo away, since this one does not swivel. After 2 years of cutting with the original, I found I had gotten used to the swivel and said what the he**, I'll keep them both. But, I've found that if someone borrows either one, I know it the minute I go to cut, so they're off limits to everyone. BTW, Baklava. If anyone can come up with a way to make that taste edible, please let me know. My daughter lives in Italy and my one attempt at making it when she was younger, well let's say the taste of it is still with her and there is no way she will make it for the traditional Christmas Eve Italian dinner.

But to me the most important thing was the height of the table. I'm 5'l" and the tables at the studio are too high for me to use any pressure when scoring or to even adequately see my scores, so I had mine at home built for my size. I already have skylights and for the daytime, they're great; at night I just light it up like a Christmas tree and eliminate as many shadows as I can. Unless you've done glass for awhile and know just what you need, it's hard to tell someone else what would be their dream workshop. I know what I need most though, and it's organization and a thorough inventory of the glass I have on hand. Also, I'd like to be able to lock away my breakers and other tools; my husband has an odd habit of using my breakers as pliers in what he considers an emergency and what I consider desecretation. Like Carol Swann said, there have been enough suggestions here and then common sense has to take over and your own preferences.

Tommorrow the wings go on, and I'll be using more of your great advice. ---- 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 Dec 14 19:18:10 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Mon, 14 Dec 1998 17:41:40 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #9 built 1998-Oct-12) X-Path: webtv.net!stainglasborzoi From: stainglasborzoi@webtv.net (GLORIA DRAG) To: glass@bungi.com Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Subject: sorry, I do not know it all Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1998 20:36:06 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <1998Dec14.15366.0> Precedence: bulk I recently read a address for drill bits for glass..

I couldn't resist. Twas the Night Before Christmas For Floridians T'was the night before Christmas and all through the town, no noses were frozen, no snow fluttered down, no children in flannels were tucked into bed, they all wore shorty pajamas instead. To find wreaths of holly, t'was not very hard, for holly trees grew in every back yard. In front of the houses, Dads and Moms were adorning the bushes and coconut palms. The sleeping kiddies were dreaming in glee, hoping to find water skis under the tree. They all knew that Santa was well on his way, in a Mercedes-Benz, instead of a sleigh. And soon he arrived and started to work, he hadn't a second to linger or shirk. He whizzed up the highways and zoomed up the road, in a S-L 300, delivering his loads. The tropical moon gave the city a glow, and lighted the way for old Santa below. As he jumped from the auto he gave a wee chuckle, he was dressed in Bermudas with an Ivy league buckle, There weren't any chimneys, but that caused no gloom, for Santa came in through the Florida room. He stopped at each house....stayed only a minute, emptying his sack of stuff that was in it. Before he departed, he treated himself to a glass of papaya juice upon the shelf. He turned with a jerk and bounced to the car, remembering he still had to go very far. He shifted the gears and stepped on the gas and up I-95 he went like a flash. And I heard him exclaim as he went on his way, "Merry Christmas Y'all, I wish I could stay!" ---- 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 Dec 14 20:47:21 1998 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Mon, 14 Dec 1998 19:42:30 -0800 (PST) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #9 built 1998-Oct-12) X-Path: fair.net!andor From: "Linda Letscher" To: "Bungi List" Content-Type: multipart/alternative; Subject: Glass Eye Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1998 22:42:25 -0500 Message-ID: <1998Dec14.174225.0> Precedence: bulk This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_009A_01BE27B3.057D9CA0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Well folks I got it, I have it installed and now all I have to do is make time to figure out how to get it to do what I want it to.

I guess I should get the sample kits myself. But my supplier does not carry it and ordering it by post from U.S. triples the cost. To a small timer like me it is a huge investment. I have not yet finalised my drawings, I am still looking around for pictures of Buddha, and if you have any that you think would be helpful please send it. My idea was to use opals for the picture and cathedral for background. I was thinking of red wispy for border. And orange robes, with a bit of gold in it as the robe border. I was in for the gold for the earring and am still not sure what would go best for the face. This is the largest panel I have done so far, and am also looking into the reinforcing aspect too. Is there any other way to get a bright gold. Use some color and fire the glass? This panel is going to be inside a Buddhist temple, and I guess there will be a lot of incense and joss sticks burning, would it be a good idea to encase it between to pieces of clear glass? Cleaning would be much easier that way. Thanks, again Suzannah, I too am very excited with this project. suzy@comcat.com wrote: >Hi Shakeel, > >I'd be happy to help you with glass selection.

As a web designer, I can tell you why that might be. If, for example, I have an image that's 100 pixels by 100 pixels (pretty small, actually), I can *define it as being 500x500 and that's how it will appear on-screen. That's why you might be surprised when you've captured it and then load it into some other program ... it's actually smaller than you thought, but not smaller than it actually was. By the way, remember that unless the web site has specifically said you may capture and use the image, you're violating copyright to capture and use it. Is it likely you'll be caught? Probably not, but for myself, I like to sleep easily at night.

I partly agree with Ed, Albert. Humor helps to survive in our rats race but sometimes, it may be a bit boring. So a sort of warning could be included - if I am in the mood, I can pick up my millyun, if not I can ju= st delete it (by the way, I like your joke).

Charles Warner and I have agreed that the workshops will be either immediately before OR after the Glass Visions but NOT during. (Most likely immediately AFTER) So your excursion to Allentown (or surroundings) could well be extended to a week (if you so wish.... ;-> ) Oh... and yes.... bring your own cutter, 'cause you ain't borrowing MINE!! The preliminary plan is to have at least one full day leading workshop. You may actually have designed something small in advance (e.g. 12 x 12 inches) and perhaps pre-cut the glass for it. I will probably myself have prepared something in advance that I will bring with me. I will also bring some of my tools (especially the "home-made" ones). No need to get heavy on the theory about leading; am quite happy to accept "virgins" (hmmm!?). Have been collecting together all the various questions about lead and lead techniques since late summer and hope to deal with them (as I see it) during the workshops. As regards claiming "your" place on the work-shop itself (and other events), Charles Warner himself is the person to contact (who already "lurks" on Bungi. I think that if he has followed the post, he already knows that I have said, that if you can GET there, you're ON!) ). Other events will be organized by and via Carol Swan, and the "E-Team" (Suzanne A, Lenore, Pamela, Lee and I think perhaps one or two others). Suzanne Albright has taken charge of my "social calender" on the East Coast - except for my sejourn with Charles and Marianne and a special dinner-date with a certain unnamed male..... oh! .... and.... OF COURSE! my much longed for meeting with Pierre!!! (Je viens! Je viens! Attend moi, cheri!!) What Carol Swan said just the other day, is the most sensible course of events right now. Nobody is going to be able to do / say very much until they have recovered from the Christmas and New Year hang-overs in February. Charles and myself need to get together "voice-to-voice" once or twice, and so on..... So KEEP TUNED IN!!

I've been with the group for about three years now. Do you know how many times I've = answered the same questions over and over and over again especially = the standard questions newcomers have. Dozens of times. Does it get boring. You bet... it takes a considerable amount of patience not to simply tell someone to check the archives. But, we continue to be patient and answer. Why? For love of glass... the art... and because, boring or not, we're all a little bit teachers. And, we're all (well, most of us) alot friends... that's why = when things get a bit boring for us... we digress to other more personal subjects. We've had a few flamefests over this before... once the entire list was shut down for the better part of a week by the administrator who got fed up with us. I really hope that doesn't happen again! There are many days when I = yearn for a list composed solely of = professional artists... but, that would change the dynamics of the group immensely and certainly would diminish the learning experience for newcomers and hobbyists. And probably pretty = boring for the pros, too, because what would a bunch of know-it-alls yack = about after the first few weeks!

I missed much of the Ed debacle, I only got the back-wash. It's true though.... apart from being wheeled on for info, advice teaching, reference-library, Agony Aunts/uncles, we are also very real human beings, with time & motion problems of our own. Sometimes we do actually want a real good belly-laugh (....it releases the stress in the glass when we are trying to cut that nasty curve!!). As part of that occasional feeling that someone tells me I "OWE" them something, I was very relieved to see a posting from Carol Swann earlier on today that sort of tried to "balance" things out a bit. I know I am a soft touch in many ways, I can spend my entire night's sleep composing an answer to a distressed Bunginian who seeks answers to leading technique problems. But I got to survive as well. I am no spring chicken.... Stained glass is my bread and butter, my mortgage and my and SOME of Toby's food..... Patrick makes up for the rest.....). It is occasionally a little bit invasive and intrusive when someone arrives on the scene and dictates what I should and shouldn't do or say. I get uneasy when I am lambasted with on/off group e-mails phrased in the terms of demands of what is required of me. I have no idea about light, colours, retailers, supplies, quality in Singapore, Outer Mongolia, Virgin Islands or Malasyia. (.... and never mind the Irish....). It'll take me a while to try to place myself into THEIR situation..... the same way as now for years I have been bantering about USA / UK ..... and my little corner of Sweden. I most vehemently disagree with ED and his statement that "I am supposed to be there to help". WHO ARE YOU ED??? And whoever you are, what are you giving into the situation other than dictates??? I am NOT your servant. I have my on-days, as well as off-days; I have a family, I have friends, commitments and many other things. I owe you nothing! I lead a very busy life. Bungi is part of my life - but not ALL of it. I too need to be silly, I too need to have a bit of relief from bill-paying and a total crap-piece of glass that WILL not cut the way I want it to. There are a lot of people out there in Bungi exactly in the same situation. This may be a bit daunting for someone coming in "cold" We all know that. We are all very warm and welcoming. We are so emotional about stained glass that we often adopt a favourite "newbie" into whom we pour an awful lot of emotions, e-mails, advice and so very often a knock on the door in person. If you want just pure information, we have a quite impressive archives. Go there. If you want to interact with us, we fully expect you to join Patrick and don a pale pink stained glass tutu. The choice is yours.... We may be silly now and then.... but we are deadly serious too. And Carol thank you very much for a very balanced and sensible reply to a deluge of e-mails received (even off-group) I have struggled for a month or so about "how to reply". About back-lighting panels; I dare say a lot of people will ignore your derogatory comments and pour helpful suggestions. They are like that - the Bungi lot. I am virtually fed on BBC studio techniques through Brian - my other half. I got diverted by the tone of your e-mail and am reluctant to admit that I have lost interest. at 2.30 in the morning (UK time) now, I am going to bed....Sorry - not impressed. Why should I bother? The good-humouredness, the bantering and the FUN is actually part and parcel of what has brought us Bunginians closer together. It is also almost a direct result of how my pending visit to USA has come about. An exchange on a very human level. Tied up to that is also an enthusiasm from stained glass hobbyists and professionals here in UK to get together face-to-face BEFORE my departure, so that the exchange really CAN be a mutual exchange. .....and a stained glass exchange..... (We are still working out dates here in UK....) It's been the fun, silly, off-beat, non- s.g elements that have made people "click" and dared to take that extra little risk to trust themselves into the hands of other people across an entire Continent, the entire Globe, just to get together face-to-face, to spend time together and experience different ways of creating stained glass.

That's on my wish list for my dream workshop and of course everything else everyone told you too. Mike's certainly would make me happy! OK back to lurking now, I took the night off from making Christmas presents.

I am a widow and often participate in a grief bulletin board as I am down the line in my grief and feel maybe I can offer support to the newbies. But often we get someone that posts on the board and then comes back the next day and whines and stomps their foot because no one answered their post. Well Dah! We go and we offer suport freely and free and to whom we feel we have something to offer it to. Since I am a widow I respond to new widows, and so on. When someone demands something, it turns me off, way off... So maybe or friend Ed was under the impression that there are glass pros here just waiting to answer questions. Sort of like the Butterball Turkey 800#.... I feel that I have to participate and try to offer help if I can and hope when I post someone will be willing to share. Since I got on this list, I have gleened a lot of great information that wasn't even directed to me. I have had a couple real good suggestions that are making my work area/garage studio easier to work with. I am grateful for anything I can learn. I have gotten some real good giggles and a few actual outright belly laughs from just reading and that is worth a bizillion... Thanks guys, I hope this message doesn't come through in mime or whatever screwed Vic up. I have checked and not changed a thing, so I don't have a clue.

And do not worry too much about the old Polish - Swedish history (althoug your army half ruined my home city - Krakow - they did not make any harm to stained glass windows though). I am stained glass restorer and teacher of something which is called "conservation science". Funny enough I teach this stuff to students of Academy of Fine Arts, which is nearly as difficult as some discussions in Bungi. By the way: who is Patrick I should send a Bio to? (sorry) Well it's 07.15 AM and I am finishing my all night raport. Hope, will be understandable.

Baklava 1 and 1/2 lb pecan/walnut mixture blenderized ( pistachios in here also works well...just keep the same amount of nuts whatever the kind or combination) 1 Tablespoon cinnamon 1 and 1/2 tsp cloves and/or allspice 1/2 cup sugar package filo dough at least a package of unsalted butter, maybe more DO NOT SKIMP ON BUTTER OR THE QUALITY WILL SUFFER...Richard Simmons does a version spraying Pam on the filo dough: DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING THIS!!!! mix the nuts, spices and sugar together evenly. carefully read box directions on working with filo dough. It is very important to keep what you are not immediately working with covered with a moist(not soaking) towel or the dough will dry out very very quickly. Melt a couple of sticks of butter however you usually do that and spread a pan (I usually use a large pyrex lasagna pan)bottom with a pastry brush. Then layer about four or five sheets of dough brushing butter on top of EACH AND EVERY ONE. sprinkle some nuts(about a third of them) on top of this evenly. Then another four or five or so sheets. more nuts. Remembering to butter each of these layers!!!!you will be melting more as you need it, believe you me. and on and on till you run out of nuts and reach the top of the pan. there should be 15 to 17 layers on top of the pile. Using a very sharp knife cut into the familiar diamond shapes. Poke a whole clove into each of the diamonds. Bake at 325 for 70 minutes. Let cool and pour warm syrup over the pastry.. (there are various opinions about the "best" combination here warm pastry/cool syrup, warm pastry/warm syrup, etc etc.I have always used the cool pastry and hot syrup and it turns out great) for the syrup: 1 cup honey 1 cup water 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 cinnamon sticks 6 or 7 whole cloves optional lemon extract or rind and or orange extract or rind. Rosewater also is nice or vanilla. about a teaspoon of any or all of these flavorings. put all of this in saucepan, bring to a boil, simmer about 20 minutes and pour over the pastry. let everything cool before you remove the pieces and serve. Enjoy.

The panel is going to be right after the front door, fixed to a two feet high cement platform and in a iron frame. The frame will be made after the panel is complete so I won't have to worry about the panel growing a bit. I have still not decided on the lighting for it, and I guess I will leave it to the last.
