My name is Monica. I'm married with three boys ages 19, 15, and 13. We live in Minnesota and love it here although the winters could be shorter. I'm employed full-time as a Paramedic. I've been working on the ambulance for over 10 years now. We work very long hours (24 hour shifts) and average over 144 hours every two weeks. I also teach medical related classes (C.P.R., E.M.T. classes) on average of once a week. Obviously my schedule is not very conducive to most hobbies because I need to be able to work on them at short intervals in between other things. I became interested in stained glass through a friend who does it as a hobby. So far I have only made 2 suncatchers and am now working on my first panel. I have not taken any formal classes although my friend has been an enormous help. I have never been a very crafty person. I can't draw to save my life. So this hobby is great, there are patterns to follow. I stumbled upon this group while surfing the web in search of patterns. (In the area we live the closest stained glass store is many miles away so finding patterns is hard.) I was amazed at the quick insightful response from all of you on my first question's. They were all very helpful. I did not know there were different thickness of foil. Also the advise on holding oval patterns were great. I'm going to try all of them to see which will work out best for me. I'm also trying a new E mail format thanks to Bud Britt. I hope this is easier to read. Thank you for the warm welcome to your group. I look forward to getting to know you all better.

Dorothy's a bit tired, but I find travel not only exhilarating, but a necessity of life. There will always be a bit of that itinerant vitreous worker in me, I suppose. In any case, I found the time to do a bit a research on the Space Needle. Back when the Space Needle was first proposed (it was built for the World's Fair in 1962), there were no clear windows in the design. After all, there's no view in Seattle half the time (just check the weather forecast, anytime. "If it isn't raining, it isn't Seattle" - Dorothy read that on a web page somewhere). The original specifications called for stained glass windows all around. The itinerant vitreous workers made plans to converge on Seattle for the task. They waterproofed and snailproofed their tents and bought new galoushes. Senhor Jay Jay was commissioned to do the design. It was a magnificent design, to hear the Senhor tell it, and he is not inclined to hyperbole. It incorporated so many of the things that make the Pacific Northwest what it is. There was Mount Rainier, bald eagles, orcas leaping from the sea, tall trees drapped in moss, lumberjacks. Pierre's father had created a new, magnificent glass for the background...a dull gray seedy, where all the seeds looked like raindrops. In the end, it didn't get made. There were cost overruns, time considerations, etc., etc.. But the design, oh... Senhor maintains it was one of the best he had ever done, but he lost his copy in a tragic driftwood accident (don't ask). My task was to get into the subterranean vaults of the Seattle planning offices and see if I could unearth a copy of those designs. After several days of searching in mossy old rooms, I found them, however between the mildew and the mice, there is little left. A magnicent whale tail here, a snow capped mountain peak there, and a six inch square of the gray seedy which Pierre is even now framing in cedar to hang in the workroom window. While Dorothy was playing in the 2o feet of snow on Mt Rainier and walking on the Pacific Ocean beaches, I was sneezing at the dust and molds in the vaults of Seattle. We both had a great trip. Returning you to real life...

Seems after he passed on to the great stained glass shop in the sky, his widow, or family sold their home, and when they did that they removed a couple of his works, for keepsakes, leaving behind some sort of unfinished looking work. Most noticable a side-light by the front door, 8 1/2 x 65 inches, in which he had a vine type window, with the vine extending across the door by way of three small lights. Those three still remain. The family who purchased the home wanted us to replace the side light, with a complimentary work, and also asked me to give them an appraisal of the value of the remaining stained glass work. I urged them to contact the Stained Glass Place in Grand Rapids, or Delphi in Lansing for a really knowledgeable, professional appraisal. But let me tell you about these windows. They are set in the corner of the kitchen of the home, extending into the dining area, and at the other end into the entry area. Rather above,the room, above the cupboards, and the sliding door onto the deck. They are all trapazoids, a series of 3 windows on the left side of the corner of the room, with the outside window, (farthest out from the peak) going from about 8" on the outside to about 1 1/2 ft, the next window is about 20" and the other end of it is about 42", then 44" to about 56". On the right side there are 4 trapazoids, with the smallest at the end going from about 1" to 6". Each of the windows is approximately 4' in length. The theme is nature, and the outside (smallest) windows are birds, flowers, small mammels, like a mother skunk carrying a baby in her mouth crawling over a log, with the occasional butterfly, flower, etc. The sky area is all clear glass, so you actually, have a variety of sky, because of whatever is going on outside, the clouds in the sky match up from one window to the next, as do the grasses, or water, or mountain. There is a moose in one of the largest windows, a deer, a fox I think, ducks flying up from the marsh, and you would have to sit and study this panoramic work, for hours to see it all. It is well reinforced, and very well done. I must say I was very impressed, as personally, I thought of him as a very self-centered, person. There was only one way, and it was his way, and his ego was humongous. Am sure I remember pictures of his vine sidelight, but he certainly had not done the panoramic windows, before I took his class. He made quite a name for himself, either with his neighbors, and the area he was in with his windows, a church, a bar, and a number of nice homes. or with his class, where he managed to alienate nearly every person who took his class. These aren't tiffany type windows, and certainly not Frank Lloyd Wright type, but they are quite spectacular, and as they sit in a home overlooking a lake, near a castle, they are quite unique, and interesting. I understand the concept of using the clear glass as the sky, but I would have preferred something different. But there is a much better appreciation of him as an artist, then I had from 1978 until this weekend. Very interesting.

Wood" To: Bungi Content-Type: text/plain; Subject: Stepping stones (long) Date: Wed, 2 Jun 1999 16:22:52 -0400 Message-ID: <1999Jun2.122252.0> Precedence: bulk OK. Here's a few pointers on garden stepping stones. There are 2 basic types of stepping stones: - those made by applying stained glass to the outside of already-made items, such as bricks or garden pots or birdbaths. I'll call this type "applied". - those made by pouring your own mold. I'll call this type "poured". Both types are popular. I make and sell (retail & wholesale) both types. Different techniques for the two. "Applied" work involves the following: - purchase the base - water-seal the base using a product appropriate for the base's material. For example, get a concrete or masonry water-sealant for birdbaths. - draw the pattern onto the base - glue the glass onto the base. I recommend & use GE Silicon II Clear, which can be purchased in most home improvement centers. - let cure for an appropriate time (ususally 20 minutes for the GE Silicon) - mix up bathroom tile grout to the consistency of toothpaste. I use the powdered colored bathroom non-sanded tile grout found in boxes which can be purchased at the same home improvement centers mentioned above. - apply grout with a brush, pushing grout down between the glass pieces. DO NOT use your hands to apply the grout, as you will cut yourself (voice of experience). - wipe off excess grout following instructions on the grout box. I use paper towels. - I'm a stickler for clean lines, so I take a small dull knife and wire brush to clean up any excess grout from the glass even after the grout has dried. - remove any sharp glass points by filing. Make sure to wear safety glasses during this. The "Poured" method can be done using a formal pattern, where each piece is cut and shaped just like a copper foil pattern. Or they can be done using a more relaxed look involving using scrap pieces of glass placed so that they form a mosaic of the pattern. I use both methods. Each has its own look and its fans. The "Poured" method involves the following: - purchase mold. There are many sizes & shapes available through your local stained glass retailer. - spray the inside of the mold with Pam or Bakers Joy. This keeps the concrete from sticking to the mold. It is called a release agent. - cut out some clear contact paper so that it's just smaller than the inside dimension of your mold. Tip: place the mold on top of the unpeeled contact paper and simply trace around the mold. Then cut out the contact paper slightly inside the trace line. - if you're using the more relaxed mosaic style, put your pattern inside the mold now. If you are doing the more formal method, make a copy of the pattern and put it inside the mold, placing the other copy of the pattern onto the glass for cutting & (optional) grinding. - peel off the contact paper's liner, and place sticky-side up (i.e. toward you) inside the mold. Since the contact paper is clear, you will be able to see through it and see the pattern. - place your glass pieces onto the contact paper, making sure there is full contact between them. This keeps concrete from seeping under the glass during the pour. If the glass is textured, place the textured side towards you so that the smooth side gets the contact with the contact paper. - put on your dust mask & gloves. - mix up your concrete. I use Rapid-Set, a fast-drying very smooth concrete mixture only available through concrete contractors. Lots of folk use Diamondcrete. Whichever, follow the concrete instructions about water/concrete ratios, safety precautions, and clean-up procedures. - gently pour concrete into the mold. Some folk set reinforcements such as chicken wire into the mold about half-way into the pour. I don't since Rapid-Set does not require it. - let the concrete cure, following the instructions on the manufacturer's time table. - unmold by gently pulling back the sides away from the concrete, then flipping the mold over and pressing down in the center. Sometimes I place the mold on bricks and even have to stand on top of the mold to get it to release, so don't be suprized at how much force is required to get it to release. - clean up any excess concrete seepage by using a dull knife and/or wire brush. Don't worry about scratching the glass - it won't happen. - let the stepping stone fully cure according to directions.

Warner-Crivellaro used to carry an oak frame for the two flat sides but the last time this came up they had discontinued them. I have made them and just soldered small split rings on the two ends and then using long small screws screwed them into wood trim. For going into plaster you would need something more substantial. They really are cute. I have a set over the sink on either side of the cornice that goes across the window and they match my chandelier. They're super easy to do - basically just a big suncatcher. I think there are a few patterns in pattern books - I have two simple ones that came with the cornerettes, which I could scan and send to you if you like. No guarantees though since I've not done that yet, just use the scanner for ebay stuff so far. Have a good one! Brenda Recently I saw some patterns for some little corner pieces...

Personally, I like the signs that say something like "If there's anything about our service or attitude that you find lacking, let us know, because we'd like to rise to your level of expectation." To some business owners, though, if the customers would just Go Away, they'd have what they'd prefer in the way of a Good Business.

I have fallen in love with the styles(gnomen). I am wondering what price range they would fall into. The one I want to make and the way I would make it, would have 237 pieces. If you made it the way the pattern is, it would be well over 300 pieces. This can either be made in a 16" hex or a 14" round(concrete of course). I guess my question is: When you have that many pieces, do you still price by the piece or do you kinda of discount because of the quanity? I am thinking this is a $250 stone and retail around $500. Am I way out of the ballpark here? Thanks in advance.

I'm seeking >some advice, how do you pack glass panels for shipping across several states? > Has anyone used one of those packing services? Gwyn First, congratulations on being accepted into a show! I'll outline what I've figured out, and I'm interested in hearing how others pack, especially folk like pj who have huge panels to move. Incidentally I've shipped several panels this way using different couriers and freight lines and never had a problem, except with trying to get insurance. I'd like to hear about others experience about how to get insurance... Get yourself a used glass crate and a used packing pallet. Get yourself old foamie(s) at a garage sale. Place the crate on a packing pallet and cut braces from 2 x 4's. Use these braces to hold the crate upright on the pallet. Nail into place. This way there is no way the shipper can flip the crate onto its side for easier handling and your panel will remain vertical. Can't get an old glass crate?..build yourself a box out of thin plywood or old panelling and some 1 x 8's. Place panel(s) into crate TIGHTLY and evenly held in place with old foamies. Don't forget to cut foamie and set one or 2 layers over the entire bottom before you put anything else in. The key is to tightly hold the panel in place with foamie so nothing can move around during transit. Top with another layer of foamie horizontally across the top before screwing the lid into place. You'll probably be charged a cubed rate for shipping rather than the actual weight because of the volume of area you'll take up in the semi. Don't forget to insure for value, and put signs on the pallet. I have some great 8 1/2 x 11" red signs that my wholesaler uses for shipping sheets to customers. They have a large red arrow, THIS SIDE UP and GLASS on them. Incidentally I would never trust a glass panel to Mailboxes, etc. or like packing service.

Now measure the distance between the plywood and cut 4) strip's of wood for the sides. Screw it together ,and mark whats in your sandwich and (eat it ) ha ha, send it on it's way. This takes a little time but if you make some standard sizes,you will use them over and over. If it does not get there all is for not. Make sure there is a lot of foam / bubble wrap around edges before you add the sides on. NEVER trust a shipping co. with your glass,they have know idea how much time you put into it. Hope this will help,we have sent many panels around the US this way.

If it is a one shot mold, I use plaster of paris. My girlfriend's husband owns a hardware store, so get the builders plaster of paris....it is smoother and doesn't set up as fast...don't ask me what the chemical or process difference, but if you use Hobby Lobby's plaster, it seems rough and grainy after using this stuff. If it is a more permanent mold, I use plain ol' ceramic clay, I save my old shelf paper and shred it into the clay for more stability (with a respirator on). I also have used refractory plaster....but clay is cheap and I am only a hobbiest, so expense is sometimes a consideration. But you can use anything from stainless steel bowls and spoons. Ceramic bisque, calcium carbonate, firing bricks, refractory boards...anything that can stand the heat and you can get the glass to melt over without sticking. For the toads, I will probably make a couple of clay molds, so that the toads will have that slightly humped body, and hang the feet over the edge so that they will touch the shelf, level and flat. For the lizard, I will cut a piece of refractory board. The lizards will be flatter, and low to the ground. Anyway, I will experiment until I get something that will works consistently. There are books on making molds. I learned some from Gil Reynolds and Bruce Lundstrom's books on fusing and slumping, but now I have seen books on just mold making. A friend of mine lent me a book on patte de verre, and it had even more examples of mold making. If you are going to start fusing and slumping, my advise is to have a "Thomas Edison" attitude. He had to try 100 different materials before he came up with the filament for the light bulb. When asked if he got frustrated, he simply replied, "No because I learned 100 things!" In the class I took in Las Vegas this spring, the instructor said she made 20 attempts before she successfully made a calla lilly that looked realistic. So any mold I make that does not come out just right, I just tell myself I am learning. I have a feeling I will make a few lizards and toads before I get one that I like. (I wonder if this is like the princess who kissed a bunch of toads, before she found her prince?) As a teacher, I think this process of trying, failing, and learning is good for me, it constantly reminds me of what my students go through trying to learn everyday. And that some of the things that I really learned, came from failure not success. (I am beginning to sound too much like a motivational speaker...yuk! I will put down my pom-poms and go water the flowers.) ---- 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 Jun 7 09:04:35 1999 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Mon, 7 Jun 1999 08:02:58 -0700 (PDT) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #9 built 1998-Oct-12) X-Path: 7cities.net!cpjaram From: "Norman & Claudette Jaramillo" To: "Bungi" Content-Type: text/plain; Subject: Its time to start a string?!

I'm afraid the complexity of the glass cuts, etc. would be far over the head of the typical consumer and they would be astonished at the price.

Bought some of those Lucy pants I call them. The petal pushers, very cute oh an a wonder bra too! Anyway, she says, oh I wish I could spend time with my kids. I work two jobs just to survive so my kids are with my ex-husband most of the time. Well, after that I was glad to go home to my husband and kids. There is always someone less fortunate than me in this world, I've had it easy.

What I'd like to know is: Is there a way to un-solder without ruining the foil? I've tried less heat, but then the solder doesn't seem to come off.

After awhile the grout turns pink and you realize you've sliced your palms and are bleeding into the grout. But of course, you can't feel it since the grout kind of numbs your hands. And grout in a wound is terribly hard to wash out. Use brushes to apply grout. Boy, did I feel stupid when I did that.

The people who received them probably cherish them because they were made by YOU! They could probably care less whether they're technically perfect or not. Chances are you're the only one who notices the flaws. If you INSIST on remaking them, be sure and keep a couple of the old ones...to encourage you when the glass just won't cut right, the solder just won't flow. It can be a wonderful reminder of how far you've actually come at those trying moments. C.

I was a dairy farmer for almost 40 years and never had a problem. Had exposure to many chemicals,weather, and acids, no gloves or lotion. I think my problem is either the flux or remover. I use a barrier cream before fluxing(when I think of it) and that seems to help 'til it wears off. Best remedy I've found is chapstick. I get the kind in the little round jar. Also, could anyone clue me in as to the difference in fluxes? Which is best for what.

Would you mind recommending one to the rest of us... I *try* to wear gloves..but I have really short fingers, and end up burning the tips when I am soldering edges. Then I take the glove off, and end up with flux all over me, and its really hard to get off as I imagine you know. Ok...now just remembered another dumb thing I do...I dont throw the glove away...(I wash the flux off) then later I grab a glove not realising it is one with a little burn hole in the tip...and stick it in a dish of patina...there are always nicks etc....on my fingers, so all of a sudden that finger will start burning..and I realise I am getting patina in a cut. My blood is probably toxic. Come to think of it, maybe that is why that finger is so red and sore/swollen looking.

The problem the seller had was how to pack and ship it. He stopped by a bike shop and they were willing to give him a bike box for free. This was a very thick card board box. I guess they pack those $2000 mountain bike in better boxes. It seems the size of bike boxes would be just right for larger panels or sheets of glass.

However, if the piece is big, or long and awkward to elevate, try tipping it up on its side, heating the solder and letting it melt down and off.

What a minute, are you the same people who > didn't like the sign in the shop that talked about > lower standards? Rick, As a matter of fact, I hadn't commented on that sign. I will now though. I thought it was funny though dumb in a fundamental sense. You know, one catches more flies with honey than vinegar. Many people don't have a sense of humor. Two basic facts of life. Signs that are "humourous" about their service, or lack thereof, confuse their customers (or potential customers) about their service (good or bad) by making a joke of it ... well, it just seems dumb to me ... and shows a lack of professionalism. Many people will not get it, and many of those people will read this as "vinegar". At best it puts a doubt in the mind of the customer as to how seriously the shopowners take their "service commitments. As I understand it, making money in the stained glass biz is difficult, so why make it even harder by putting up a soi-disant "humorous" sign like that? The proof of the above lies in the mixed reaction to this sign on this list. Humor in shop signs is good, but maybe humor about your lack of service is not real bright. I ran a mass spectrometry lab for a long time as part of my duties. Mass Specs are very expensive and very complex; generally they require one specialist per instrument just to keep the damn things running. Few labs need one of their own, so often a mass spec is shared by many users. Right above the sign-in area (sample request area) I put a sign that read : "When requesting service, remember that you can have any two of the following three qualities : Fast, Good, Cheap." Thing is : though it was put in a "humorous" manner, I was dead serious about it, as a few loudmouths found out the hard way. So, when I see a sign like the one mentioned, I tend to take the sign as having some meaning. Anyway, time to go. Regards ...........

My parents, who I traveled with (really big mistake but not glass related) suggested that a couple of stained glass gifts would be a nice gift for my overseas relatives. This was three days before we left. I managed to but together some sun catchers and boxes with some pretty nice iridized glass. The relatives seamed to like them and everything was fine. My second day in Israel came the big mistake. The tour stopped by the Dead Sea. The tour guide suggested we feel the water. Our brave but not too bright stained glass artist sticks a hand covered with those annoying little cuts you get from iridized glass into the water. As the pain set in it dawned on me that the Dead Sea is composed of water and mineral salts. Fortunately my parents were not on the tour and this nice lady named Judy thanked me because she was about to make the same mistake.

I ordered this from Hughes Glass over the net...I am sorry I didn't save the address. I put a question on the Glass World bullentin board, and he wrote to me. I tried to get it locally where I buy refractory boards, but they were unable to locate it. The advantage to refractory plaster is that you get multiple firings, but even this plaster will fail eventually. But the good news is that I just put it in my mother's donated meat grinder, and you can reuse it. So while the initial outlay for this was about $.50 a pound + $.50 a pound UPS charges...and I had to order it in a 25 pound box...I still have it and I use it. I am not sure this is what they mean by "high temp plaster", but it might be. I went to my shop to get a box of the plaster I use..it is by "Triko Products", it is called "Plaster Paris".

It also is a great motivation to be clever and creative. I learned a great deal from Mike Savad who might be poor or maybe he's just cheap, but he always knows a less expensive way to get glass stuff. He was the one who suggested to the group that yard sales and flea markets are a great glass resource. I bought my safety glasses with a heat filter clip, case, neck strap (for kiln work), worth some money, for $1.00. I go to the flea market to look for glass stuff now. It is 70 miles to the nearest one, but it is always worth the day. I found the greatest glass marbles last Saturday...they are really small like tiny sweet peas, and I bought this large jar of them for $2.00. I don't know how I am going to use them in my glass work, someone suggested I use them in the center of some of my slumped and fused flowers! I also bought a very old reading lamp base with glass (might be lead crystal, and etched mirror) for $8.00, it is just waiting for a stained glass shade. I would have had a sterling silver and glass one too, but this really rude lady grabbed it out of my friend's hands! (I guess I am not so poor I want to brawl for my finds.) The prices on tools are great. I do worry that some of these tools are hot though! I also talked with this man who had a large assortment of metal items. He brings them from Mexico, but one of the bases he had was screaming for a large glass bowl. He also had these perfect 5 pointed stars, solid metal, and I kept thinking that maybe I could figure how to use them. Since Saturday I have been thinking maybe I could use them in a frame (Glenna's use of quarters as a border, has inspired me to think differently about what I can use) or maybe I could slump glass over them without kilnwash, and see if the glass would adhere without cracking, and make them wall hangings? I didn't buy any because it hasn't come to me yet, but the little ones were $.25. Enough on the enjoyment of being poor. Also, lets not forget, I have all summer off to play glass...because I am an under-paid teacher!

Killing 2 birds with one stone here, i.e. also strings. A couple or years ago, I suggested doing lamp bases with a difference, e.g. from "found objects".During my daily hikes with Toby across fields and woodlands, I often come across strange natural objects that I feel would be just "right" for s.g. purpose. I have collected together a small number of interesting shaped hollow tree trunks - small and large - which would be ideal for converting into lamp bases. Easy to run a wire through, then to fill the hollow with lead and some sort of filler, clean up the wood and make it level.

I went to a gift shop in Coronado, that featured nothing but glass art. According to the shop owner, he features the work of 32 glass artisans, representing about 10 different countries. He had it all displayed beautifully, and was able to talk about the glass processes necessary to create each piece knowledgeably. I thought his glass was very reasonably priced given the quality. When I commented to him that it was priced well, he replied..."Anyone can find high priced art, but the joy is to find art at a reasonable price." Don't get me wrong, it was not priced cheaply, but from what I have seen in my limited experience, his ware was impressive and his prices were fair. I know his rent district in Coronado can't be cheap either. I got a few creative ideas from the work, and I got a new project for those fourth graders of mine. He had lizards and toads that were fused and slumped, and I am sure my kids would sure enjoy creating....now of course, I am not furnishing the dichroic scrap, but what we create is fine. All I need to do is make the slumping molds this summer. ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Tue Jun 8 10:58:44 1999 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Tue, 8 Jun 1999 09:55:40 -0700 (PDT) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #9 built 1998-Oct-12) X-Path: cros.net!soraya From: "Soraya" To: Content-Type: text/plain; Subject: Re: solder naked?!?!

"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked. "Yeah!" "And what did you learn?" The son answered, "I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden, they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden, they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon." When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless. His son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are!"

You can't buy any of these things. You can have all the material possessions you can imagine, provisions for the future, etc., but if you are poor of spirit, you have nothing!

It shines up nice and I start work again. The fumes are not pleasant so I do all this with a fume trap going and my exhaust fan blowing with the window open if possible.

It's a slab glass sun face on the top of a rod. You stick the rod into the ground and the 'face' lights up with sunshine. I didn't purchase the object for that reason, I'm interested in the sun face. It's the color of a coke bottle. The face has a rim that's about 1/4" thick, with the overall thickness of the rest about 1/2" or so and 5" across. The label said 'Mexico'. Does anyone know of a source of molded slab glass objects.

Then I put the hot bit on the block and rub the flat side of the bit along the block until after it begins to smoke. When it looks clean, I add a little solder and continue to rub for a while.

Joyce Moran Medell=EDn, June 7, 1999. Dear Ms Moran, Vitrales Un Espacio is a Stained Glass Studio. We would appreciate it very much if you could help us with our questions or direct them to the appropiate people. Thank you. Bending Glass by Heat. We need some guidelines to help us in the process of bending Baroque, Antique, Waterglass, Hammered and Smallhamered Spectrum Glass. All Clear, in principle -at this point in time the design calls for clear glass only. We will not do the work outselves but subcontract it. Unfortunately, we do not know ourselves the state of the art in bending glass. Thus, we cannot compare it with the capabilities of our local artisants. With your information though, we feel we=B4ll be in some sort of control of the process. The idea is to bend glass pieces -1/8 to 4 sq. ft. irregular in shape, to conform to the surface of a cylinder 5=B4 3" diameter. Of concern of course, is to preserve the characteristic texture of each type of glass. Please elaborate on: * Type of kiln. * Type and material of mould=B4s surface. * Temperature range. * Appropriate temperature=B4s rates of growth and descent. Guinness Records. Our company has designed a Stained Glass Work piece with some special characteristics that lead us to believe in the possibility of breaking a established Guinness Record, or, establishing a new category for it. We already have sent the pertinent information to Guinness in London. Our question to you is circumscribed to the Stained-Glass side of the issue. First, a quick description of the design: * Cylindrical shape. 5 ft plus diameter, 5 ft plus height. * About 1500 pieces. Foiled. Heat bent (?). Mostly the type of glass=20 of first question. * One Panel. By one panel I mean the cylinder is continuos. It is a tube with its=20 two ends open. It has no seams except the solder lines themselves, but no one of them is a straight line. The cylinder somehow resembles a very large Hemispherical Tiffany lamp, if one needs something to compare it with. The individual glass pieces have to be bent to conform to the round surface of a 5=B4 diameter-cylinder. Foiled and then soldered. The assembled product rests on a metal ring at its bottom, and spans=20 the 5 plus ft height till an upper metal ring.=20 Unlike most other standard stained glass works, it has no "vertical frame-sides". Meaning, it is continuos, not even a straight solder line that could resemble a "vertical frame side". If one thinks about this, realizes that the piece has to be assembled on its frame structure almost from the very begining., eg., unlike a stained-glass window, that is first built at a Glass Studio and then put onto its wood or metal frame once assembled. We would appreciate getting some feedback from you; from your experience and knowledge of what=B4s out there in the Stained-Glass world. * In general, what do you think of the design, lets say, its novelty? * Do you know of anything like it anywhere else ?=20 * Are you aware of any Guinness Record held by a Stained-Glass work at all ? We thank you in advance for your efforts in providing us with the answers to our questions. Yours truly, Pedro L. Arango General Manager Vitrales Un Espacio Cr 36 No. 8A-95 El Poblado, Medell=EDn.

I have found that in the long run if you try to save a couple of $$$ what you waste in time and extra work / headaches, is never worth it. We carry ..."wet felt", "hydroperm" , "fiberblanket". "rigidizer" and a few more items, like stainless steel floral former, bowls and a few others that we can order. Build a shelf with about a 4" lip in the front, and install it as high up as you can leaving about 15" to the ceiling. Store all your molds there as they can be used again,but are fragile. Hope this helped and if your coming to the art-glass show in Long Beach,stop by and say Hi......we will be in booth #610. If you tell us your from the bungi gang you will get a discount.

First, a quick description of the design: * Cylindrical shape. 5 ft plus diameter, 5 ft plus height. * About 1500 pieces. Foiled. Heat bent (?). << To bend glass to make pieces to be assembled into a five foot diameter cylinder that is five feet high is no big deal. Of course a kiln that is large enough for the largest piece of glass to be bent is necessary. A programable electric kiln is handy but a gass kiln will do a good job too. I would tend to make a ceramic fiber mold of the correct radias to bend the glass OVER and not into. This mold should have alignment marks for the centerline and glass should be cut to pattern and marked with vertical centerline marks to align on the mold. With good alignment dicipline the bent pieces should be so close that they could be leaded if desired. A firing program for 1/8" thick art glass 1' X 2' would likely be 300'F per hour from ambient temperature up to 1050'F and then 100'F per hour to 1120'F, cut off and cool at natural rate of the kiln to room temperature. This program should not mark most glass. There is no need for annealing due to the thinness of the glass. Smaller pieces could have a faster rate of initial advance. Sprinkling a coat of dry kiln wash between pieces would allow stacking one or two smaller pieces on the now bottom piece. A nice trick that I do all the time in making several hundred large compound curve lamp panels a year. ................

Once it was the pattern pieces. Another time I had a complicated circular (geometric) piece that was all cut out and ready for foiling. Was transporting it to "class" (I spend one evening a week at a local studio) and a bump in the road (probably one of our many potholes) sent the pieces flying all over my trunk. Amazing how different "identical" pieces can be! I arranged and rearranged but it never quite fit as well as it had originally. The current heat wave reminds me of a fellow glasser who was working on a lamp using tacky wax to hold the pieces to the mold. Transported it to class in a very warm car---you can imagine her reaction when she opened the trunk!

I have to send a small package to Canada and need to know the postage so I can charge the receiver (something I sold on ebay). So it weighs 8 oz. and the box is 6-1/2" x 9" x 2" high. The post office website says I can send it by small packet airmail for only $1.83 but the length can't be over 24" and the length plus girth can't be over 36". If I figure the length is 9" is the girth 6-1/2 plus 6-1/2 plus 2 plus 2, which is 17? If I add 17 to 9 that's 26 and I'd be OK. But I don't know if they mean the girth both ways (around the 9" side as well) and I've looked and looked at all their documentation and can't find a clarification of "girth". Does anyone know?

Right now my nemisis is a 22" Wordon lampshade pattern called "4 Little Pigs". If anyone is remotely thinking about doing this pattern - = DON'T. You would think it's got 4 pigs in the lampshade. Wrong. What they don't tell you is you have to repeat the pattern to make it on the 22" form. So it's acutally 8 little pigs. And I do mean LITTLE....as in pieces so tiny you have to use tweezers to handle them. Throw this pattern away. My dumb thing is I quoted & accepted the contract to do this lampshade based on my perception of the intricacy involved. Instead, it's become my nightmare!

Brenda...I deal with this all the time. The length is the longest dimension of the package...in this case 9". The "girth" is the same as the waistline on a person so if you took a string and put it around the package on the 2 shorter sides that would give you the girth. In your case girth will be 6.5 plus 6.5 plus 2 plus 2 equals 17". Add on the 9 inches and yes, you get 26 and the package cannot go small packet rate. Ask them to quote you for parcel post instead. Within Canada you can sometimes get away with putting something in an ExpressPost package (a particular sized envelope similar to courier pouches where anything you can stuff in and still close the lid on is fair game) for less than the parcel post rate...my local post office lady always checks both for me.

Fortunately (1) the lamp stayed put, only one piece fell out and that was one of the broken ones anyway, and (2) the chunk it took out of my forehead managed to miss my hairline and the flap of skin was still attached, so I was able to bandage it up, cover it with a tight-fitting baseball hat, and keep working. (I also got out a bunch of bubble wrap and masking tape and wrapped up the broken edge of the lamp in case I decide to get klutzy again. There's more than one way to use your head!)

But now this "Gloves in a Bottle" stuff is available at just about every building supply store around, it's cheaper, and the specifications seem to say it is exactly the same stuff. I don't trust a barrier cream for everything though. For more dangerous chemicals I buy boxes of vinyl or latex gloves - 100 gloves for $13.95 cdn. The vinyl has less risk of developing a future allergy (latex allergies seem to be epidemic right now), but only latex works with acetones or acids. The gloves don't last long but when your working with chemicals that is exactly the idea - you should throw them away once they are contaminated from any particular chemical anyway. With reusable cotton glove liners (3pr. = $2.95 cdn.), they are actually fairly comfortable too.

That's when I really eat up my fingers. (My husband does construction work and my hands are rougher than his...) But my new "dumb thing" to do is to catch my finger on the grinder and the little 1/4" head catches the glove and wraps it around the head about 1000 times in 2 seconds. At this point, my hand is attached to the grinder, and the motor's running but the grinder's not turning since it's all fouled up with the glove...

The payload of the worm will destroy any file with the extension .h, .c, .cpp, .asm, .doc, .ppt, or .xls on your hard drive(s), as well as any mapped drives, each time it is executed. The worm will also search the mapped drives for Windows installations and copy itself to the Windows directory, and then modify the WIN.INI file. This will infect systems without e-mail clients.

Minutes from the scenic Yough River Trail, it is easily accessible by foot, bike, or car. The trail, rated as one of the best in the world, offers historical sites, resorts, bed and breakfasts, along with nature's beauty. 30 minutes from Fallingwater, Seven Springs, Nemacolin Woodlands, Greensburg, and Pittsburgh.

Another place you should visit while you're at Yough is Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece of architecture: Fallingwater. Not a whole lot of std. glass but definitely worth seeing. Very close to Yough.

For some reason, I will appear at Glass Visions, looking pretty, saying Hello and doing very little. However, I bow in deference to the judgement of Charles & Marianne. That I want to roll up my sleeves and get working with you all... will be something that will only be unfolded at the workshops with Jenna Meredith-Sanders in Maryland and the subsequent ones. Jenna - as you know - had a baby about 10 months ago, a bouncing, bellowing little being. Despite all of that, she has committed herself to hosting TWO of my USA workshops. A very brave young lady - in deed. Location: Silver Spring, Maryland The dates for these two workshops are (both 2 full days): 14th 'n 15th August 1999 and 21st 'n 22nd August 1999 of which the FIRST one is virtually full up. The second Work Shop has STILL some places left. Contact Jenna direct for reserving your place! Her e-mail address is jenna sanders@yahoo.com There will be quite a Bungi-Party going on behind the scenes (from what I understand....), in particular in Maryland. The NEXT workshop will be in Kansas City on 11th 'n 12 September, 1999 First contact there is Mike Peck (who has organized it) summitstudio@worldnet.att.net or Gene Roper (who is hosting it) gene1@jdir.net The NEXT one will be in Seattle at NW Art Glass 18th 'n 19th September, 1999 Contact is Carol Swann (who has organized it) seaspray@island.net OR Richard at NW Art Glass (who is hosting it) kemrem@aol.com We still have to decide venue for the last workshop in Florida for 28th 'n 29th September, probably in the Sarasota area. Initially, register your interest with Lee Boe at leestat7@home.com OR Lenore at yegnim@aol.com Over the last 12 months I have saved up over 200 questions from Bungi-people in how to work in lead. THAT is precisely what my trip to USA is all about. I have NO gizmos, no awe-inspiring Robert Oddy look-alike- pretensions. I am coming over to show you how WE in Europe work in lead..... and very likely..... learn a lot from you folks too. My mission is - as I stated about 3 years ago in Bungi Group - to bring you Over There closer to us Over Here..... because we have a lot to share and a lot to learn from each other. I said that THREE years ago.... that is STIL:L a mission of mine. Passion and love for stained glass is the same all over the World.... we just have different ways of doing it. I started off a couple of years ago with inviting you folks to join Us Over Here on a pilgrimmage to Chartres in France. Miracles of miracles....YOU travelled from USA to Over Here and as -as a result - I got to know a small handful of people - face to face -equally as dedicated and passionate about stained glass as I myself. I, am now setting aside 2 months of my life of summer in my English garden (very crucial, very precious; no gooseberries, no plums, no p[um brandy, no apple wine, no black-berry conserve...... a poor year..... "sigh"....) to be with you; Charles Warner has made it possible; Dani 'n Michael Greer has fuelled it and Carol Swann in Canada has been the Big Chief. And I have high hopes for people to meet at Glass Visions....... And who knows.... I might just be suspended inside a bubble in a go-go dancer outfit, joined by our Mr. O'Tutu (Yep! You're in DEEP trouble Kaye!!). You all will just have to wait and see (tee-hee!) I had intended to meet up with the other 12 or so of UK Bunginians before I left. Time is running out and I will most likely not achieve to meet more than about 1-2 before I leave. But I W I L L meet up with them on my return. That does not mean that I don't have a folder-full of suggestions from them to bring with me me across to USA. I will have. So if you can make it, so will I!

This is a story I have pieced together from people who have known Emeradine many years. She just smiles when you ask her about it...she's quite modest, you know. Shortly after Emeraldine took to the road, during the time of the GREAT Tin Shortage, the cathedral in Southwest Flats was having new windows installed. They were designed by Myrtlette Hogwhittle and are generally know as the "Angles of the Sage". Some critics claim that these windows are a great example of post-modernist apres-cubist expressionism. Others complain that they can't tell the porcupines from the angels. I'm sure you've seen the pictures and read the relevant literature (it sounds like Myrtlette may have had something to do with that 4 piggies lamp. I hear she's bad at math, too.) Anyway, a small group of itinerant vitreous workers set up camp to complete the project. About halfway through, the wonderful Krynski Master Cloggers came to town to do a show and they generaously offered to perform for the cathedral workers. It was during the justly renowned kazoo number that Emeraldine decided to go get a drink. (she thinks the kazoo number is over rated, but you'll have to rent the tape and make your own judgement.) As she walked outside, she noticed furtive figures trying at the locked door of the storage shed, the place the IVW had stored its solder. Sneaking nearer, she discovered three miscreants, trying to break in. They appeared to only armed with lockpicks, whereas Emeraldine, in new found fervor, always carried her glass cutter and grozing pliers in a tool belt at her waist. It seemed the odds were about even, although Emeraldine did call for help. No one heard over the sound of the kazoos (and most of the audience was enthralled.) When intermission came, and the audience went out for a breath of fresh air, they found Emeraldine standing over the three solder thieves. One was curled into a fetal position and quivering. Another was bleeding profusely from fine cuts on his arm. The other, well, think grozing pliers and leave it at theat. The police were called and the criminals were hauled away. Because of the tin shortage, of course, there was no spare solder to be found, so Emeraldine was considered quite a hero for saving the project. She was given a seat on stage for the rest of the performance. She did tell me that cloggers sweat ALOT, but she did find the "Elves in the Meadow" number completely charming none the less. You know, you don't need a license to carry a concealed glass cutter, but effective usage does take practice. And the cutting heads are never quite the same. I do want you to understand that Emeraldine is a charming, gentle woman, but I wouldn't want to force her to fight.

Very unusual looking but very beautiful. > > Tulsa Suzanne > -- > Do what you love, love what you do, and deliver more than you promised. > Hi suz, What you saw is called Slab glass or Dalle de verre or faceted glass. It is a type of art glass the comes in 8" x 12" x 1" (all aprox) slabs or Dalles. The glass is cut with a glass cutter then broken on an "anvil" which is a round (2") steel bar set in a wedge of epoxy. After all of the basic geometric pieces are rough cut on the anvil the finish cutting is done using a hammer similar to a masons hammer. After this "rough cutting" process the glass is laid out on the pattern and trimmed up to follow all indicated epoxy lines. Once all pieces are cut to the artisans satisfaction selected pieces are "faceted" or chipped along their edges to give the sparkling effect that you mentioned. The cut glass is laid out on a pattern and aprox 1/2" of sand is sifted onto the framed out panel to fill the spaces between the glass. ( The panel which is usually kept under 20 square feet is framed out using wood cut to 1" tall by 1" or so wide then shellacked and waxed to prevent sticking of the epoxy.) An epoxy slab glass compound is then poured around the pieces. Just before the epoxy sets an aggregate of sand or other crushed stone, roofing graduals, marble chips or similar material can be sprinkled onto the tacky surface to give the panel texture. The panel is then allowed to cure for at least 24 hours. The panel is flipped and the pouring process is repeated. This double pour method produces a panel from 7/8" to 1" thick. The epoxy is actually an amalgam of resin binder with silica filler and when set gets a glass like finish if an aggregate is not used. Some studios fabricated using variations on this method which employed either wax paper or thin layer of sand to get a "single pour" panel. These were usually thinner than double poured pieces and usually had one rough and/or uneven side. This technique had its roots in France where the original matrix used was cement. When this process was first brought to the US the difference in climatic conditions caused problems with the cement/glass combination. The introduction of epoxy slab glass compound which has an expansion/contraction coefficient similar to glass helped to solve these early problems. These panels can form quite large and elaborate curtain walls as they can be stacked atop of each other leaving no apparent seam. Many studios where doing quite a volume of this type of art glass windows in the 70s and early 80s. For some reason they have fallen out of fashion and slab jobs are now few and far between. This media is actually very enjoyable to work in because it is a lot more free flowing than tightly regimented leaded glass. The drawings are done much more loosely with more latitude left to the discretion of the craftsperson. A skilled and experienced artisan can do some quite amazing stuff with a slab hammer ( and heavy gloves and safety glasses.) This is a media which ties Art glass with sculpture in a very hands on way. In an effort to cover two questions in one post: To visitors to Chicago: An amazing example of Dalle de verre work can be seen at Resurrection Cemetery on route 171 just southwest of Chicago. This mausoleum is three stories tall and has an incredible curtain wall wrapping the entire building. Chicago and its surrounding suburbs are filled with art glass treasures. Be sure to look in on the Chagal at the art museum. Second Presbyterian Church on 18th and Michigan holds a breathtaking collection of Tiffany and Lafarge windows. Fourth Pres. on Michigan and Chestnut along the magnificent mile holds a wonderful collection of Connick Windows. While downtown look in at Archbishop Quigley Seminary 103 East Chestnut St. The windows in the Saint James Chapel at Quigley, were modeled after the windows at Charte's Cathedral. The rose window in St James Chapel is currently undergoing a restoration by Botti Studio which will include total re-leading of all of the panels. These panels were constructed using mostly high heart leads and many sections were double and triple glazed. The glass and lead work in these panels is truly amazing. A display in the back of the chapel brings the panels down for public view and gives an opportunity to view up close the complexity of craft work involved in these windows . Another church worth seeing is Old St. Patrick's at 718 West Adams at Dearbourn. The windows in this church were designed and fabricated by O'Shaughnessy studio in 1921 and are a prime example of the melding of leaded and foiled techniques in a large scale project. The Windows and indeed the interior painting of the church offers some of the finest Celtic art in the city. While downtown also look in at the Chicago Cultural Center Preston Bradley hall at 78 East Washington and look at the Tiffany art glass dome. Depending on when you intend to visit, the studio I work with, Botti Studio, is currently working on an exhibit going into Navy Pier. The Smith Museum of art glass will hold over 180 light boxes and will also include Large art glass windows rescued from local churches scheduled for demolition. The Exhibit is scheduled to be installed starting in November of 1999 and will include multiple galleries featuring Victorian, Prairie style, Modern, Religious and High Religious art glass windows. Some of the finest examples of the art and craft will be on display in one location. If you are coming into the city earlier you can see some of Mr. Smiths wonderful collection at the international terminal of Chicago's O'hare airport. Of course this is only the tiniest smattering of what you can see while visiting the city. If you are on Michigan Avenue try stopping in at the AIA storefront near the Art Institute. They have a number of books and maps delineating architectural walking tours of the city. I think you would be able to find info an some of the great Art glass on display here. Look for a book entitled " Chicago Stained Glass" which documents many of the fine examples of the art in the local city churches and public buildings.

It's cut by slamming it down on a sharpened steel edge rather than with the glass cutter we use. I just read a book about it, but I can't remember the title. I'll let you know if it comes to me. Steve << Here is the way taught to me by an artist that has made several hundred of these windows over the past 40 years. 1. Score the dalle on the smooth side with a common glass cutter, 2. Turn dalle over and place on a lead block and place a one inch cold chisel in alignment with the score and in the middle, 3. Strike the cold chisel a moderate blow with a one pound hammer. Glass MAY break with a very clean vertical edge. With a bit of practice the glass breaks cleanly over 90% of the time. Curves do not work well and breaking off less than an inch has a poor chance. A carbide water cooled tile saw may be used to cut the glass but it is slow and no fun. For curves turn the glass in its side and make cuts to the curve about 1/2" apart and break off the resulting slivers. To facet the edge a light 3/8" carbide tipped chipping hammer works well. Light blows are administrated from the cut edge. With practice the work goes quickly and is rather predictable. Curved pieces may be shaped with the chipping hammer. Warning: About the worst cut I have ever received was when faceting and my hammer hand came down on a large chip on the work surface. I now use a raised lead block to chip glass on. Keeps my hand off the bench and cushons the glass. Epoxy is most generaly used to join the pieces and colored sand is used on the weather surface. The sand is sprinkled between the cut pieces before the epoxy is poured, something like a stepping stone. Weight is perhaps six pounds per square foot depending on the glass to epoxy ratio. ..................

They have a website at http://www.buckfast.org.uk This abbey was built this century just by the monks and is a splendid place to visit if you are in the West Country. There is a page showing the construction of dalles de verre windows. Father Charles (now 89 I believe) is still at work in the studio making stained glass windows in lead as well as D-d-V. We actually own two windows made by the monks in 1935 for a convent locally. When the biulding (formerley a large family house) became redundant and was being redeveloped as a conference centre we heard from a customer that the workmen were knocking out the stained glass and Sam hurried over to see what coould be salvaged. The workers had already taken out the traditional stained glass (of which we later had a commission to refurbish and install in a private house) and had literally knocked the dalles windows out of the frames. For a certain sum they were happy to let Sam collect all he could find from the ground around which he bore triumphantly home. He has been able to reconstruct two 6 foot high crosses which he made in four sections as they are so heavy. A photo of one of these can be seen at http://www.stainedglass.co.uk/dallesx.jpg. Luckily as the glass chunks are so thick none of them had worse injuries than a few extra facets added by the workmen's sledge hammers, so the glass is original.

I'm guessing this is >not a good thing to do to motors. YIKES! Not a good thing to do to *fingers* either! While it's not likely, you could conceivably sprain or break a finger doing that, or get a nasty shock if the motor overloads and blows up on you. Never, *ever* let anything that's "loose" but attached to you - hair, clothing, ends of gloves, you name it - get anywhere *near* ANY power tool or operating machinery, no matter *how* "low power" you think it is. You're asking for disaster. If you feel you've just *gotta* protect your fingers, Band-Aids and waterproof adhesive tape are a lot safer. Make sure you get the real Johnson & Johnson adhesive tape though - the generic stuff doesn't stick as well (she said, speaking from experience of having on occasion preserved my fingers through several lo-o-o-o-ong days in a row of grinding, such as during the infamous Children's Hospital mosaic project). Or try those grinder tongs. They're kind of expensive and I haven't tried them myself, but they look like a reasonable alternative. But rubber gloves? No way!

Early on, she contributed to Bungi quite a lot. She does "lurk" a bit more these days. We also have the pleasure of the presence of her niece - Tracy Reitman - on Bungi (both of them beavering away on stained glass ). So, us "early folk" can vouch that there is nothing "suspicious" in the request. Sue, I believe, is located in a bit more remote area and probably would like to track down excess glass. I have a feeling that both Sue and Tracy filed their Bios with Patrick...... If you have filed 'em all in a separate Bungi Bio file, you could quickly scan through through the file or ask our infamous Mr. O'Tutu (Patrick Kelly). Which reminds me.........WHAT?! N O BIOS this week-end!!!? No wonder The Hound From Hell is salivating!!!! DO remember Mr. O'Tutu; Passport for Hounds is only an eye-wink away!! The Keeper of The Hound From Hell is only SEVEN weeks away!! There will be NO escape!! Your Refugee Visa Application to France - I'm told - has been denied. The French Ministry of Culture put in a very vociferous objection to your application for a Visa. They felt it would lower the tone of French Culture by allowing in a strange Irish off-spring in America, partly dressed in a funny white coat with pretty brown leather straps that buckle up at the back and, partly in a stained glass Tutu. If the Department of Mental Health agreed to a change in colour of the fetching white coat from white to saffron, you might possible try to apply for a visa to the Himalayas. Except - my scouts tell me, there is about a 5 year waiting list. I am also told that it's very cold and the s.g. tutu might suffer.....

NO NEED YOU TO REPLY WITH "REMOVE". AFTER RECEIVING THIS MESSAGE YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED IN MY REMOVE LIST AND WON'T BE BOTHERED ANYMORE, SO KEEP YOUR COOL AND ENJOY READING THIS. THANK YOU. ************************************************************************ IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME $$$ ... HEY! LOOK AT THIS! THIS IS THE MOST PROFITABLE MONEY-MAKING PHENOMENON YOU WILL EVER SEE!! Please follow the instructions of this letter very carefully, immediately save this letter to a file, then edit it (with Microsoft Word or Notepad), and READ TWICE (no, there is no 'catch')... It's a well known fact that the Internet has been making a lot of people RICH! Most of them are people just like me and you! With currently NEARLY 2 MILLION people jumping on the Internet every month, NOW is the time to act! But don't take my word for it, IBM says 550 Millions NEW Internet users will be available online in the next 3 years. If you want to stop worrying about money REALLY FAST, then please take a moment to read this simple program I am sharing with you. You DO NOT have to send $10.00 to five people or anything like that. Nor will you have to invest more money later to get things going. This is perfectly legal, IT IS NOT A CHAIN LETTER. THIS IS THE FASTEST, EASIEST PROGRAM YOU WILL EVER DO. Complete it in a two hours and you will never forget the day you first received it! The following is a plan to benefit you and your future. And your loving ones too ... THIS PROGRAM CAN AND WILL WORK FOR YOU! HOW DOES $300,000 IN THREE MONTHS SOUND? Don't laugh! Try this for a change while you wait for the other programs to start working. Before you curse and send this message to the recycle bin along with the others that are dropped into your in box daily, please take a moment to glance at the opportunity that presents itself here. I have trashed so many of these offers it boggles my mind to think of it. After many unsuccesful attempts of trying to make money on the Internet I decided that this would be worth a try... AND IT CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER! It really works, and you can't go wrong! So give it a shot and see for yourself how good it is! Don't pass on luck once it knocks on your door. DON'T JUDGE THIS TOO QUICKLY. This is the answer to all of your problems! Please do not throw stones at the electronic postperson. DO NOT consider this a SPAM to your address... this is a one shot deal. If you don't want it... TOSS it! You won't be bothered again! When I first read the letter, I thought it was some off-the-wall idea to make money. Then I met again with my friend who got me this program to discuss the issue. I was curious about the letter, so he told me how it works. I thought it was a long shot, so I decided against participating. But something had clicked in my mind anyway and I kind of felt I wasn't doing the right thing, so before my pal left, I asked him to keep me updated as to his results. Soonafter I was caught in my daily busy schedule to make end meets and forgot about the whole story until ... About six months later, my pal called to tell me he was going to pick me up to drive me in his brand new Ferrari Testarossa he had just bought thanks the over $600,000 he had received in cash by running this 200 letter program twice!!! I could't believe my eyes: my childhood best friend I had played Little League with was driving a Ferrari and dating this Supermodel like babe, eating at fancy places, wearing expensive cl! othes, traveling the world in grand style and had kissed his old job goodbye! He was having the time of his life and since my pal cares about me, he really pressed me to try the plan and see for myself... I was already sold big time now and since there was absolutely nothing to lose, I jumped both feet into it! I followed the instructions exactly and mailed out 200 letters... You can bet the cash started flowing in!! It came slowly at first, but after three weeks, I was getting more than I could open in a day! After about three months the money stopped coming. My earnings at the end had totaled $334.429! Was I dreaming??? NO!!! After taking 2 months off to enjoy myself, buying that Mercedes I had always dreamed about and taking my girlfriend to that holiday around Europe we always wanted to do, I decided to try the letter again, but this time I sent out 500 letters. Well, three months after that, I had totaled $842.958.00!! I just couldn't believe it! SINCE STARTING THIS PROGRAM I HAD MADE OVER ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!! I WAS SET FOR LIFE!!! ************************************************************************* THIS IS A SERVICE AND IS 100% LEGAL!!! Esquire Marketing Newsletter Gift Club This service is 100% legal (Refer to US Postal and Lottery Laws, Title 18, Section 1302 and 1341, or Title 18, Section 3005 in the US code, also in the code of federal regulations, Volume 16, Sections 255 and 436, which state "a product or service must be exchanged for money received") There are a lot similar letters going around. What make this one different and the major factor is in being sure the whole thing is perfectly legal, since no one wants to risk doing anything illegal. If you send a letter like this out, to be legal, you must sell something if you expect to receive a dollar. Anyone sending a dollar out must receive something in return. This fact, alone, results in more returns. This program consists in just US$30.00 onetime only investment. Anyone making this payment out receives in return from the person who has been benefited a powerful Internet business report, delivered by e-mail. This report will have to be saved to a file to be e-mailed later to everyone sending him or her the $30.00. THAT'S IT! IT IS VITAL TO ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME- DAY SERVICE AFTER RECEIVING THE MONEY! This will help guarantee that the e-mail THEY send out, with YOUR name and address on it, will be prompt because they can't advertise until they receive the report! To grow this program fast (so your income in the end) be prompt and courteous. We suggest to report your income to the tax office but it's up to you. It's ALL taxable, minus your expenses! ************************************************************************ GET A LOAN THAT YOU NEVER-EVER-EVER-HAVE TO PAY BACK!!! Here’s How It Works: Unlike all other similar programs, this is more realistic, faster and much, much more profitable. There might be a bigger bunch of letters to e-mail out, and one $30.00 payment to afford, but all is rewarded by the higher number of people it is exposed to (so hooked up) with just 4 names in the list, while keeping the amount of mail received at reasonable figures. It is also very inexpensive to participate in because it is designed to be run totally on-line. Using e-mail this program moves live, (this is not snail mail, taking forever to see any money)! Because it is so easy, because of the LOW INVESTMENT, SPEED, AND HIGH PROFIT POTENTIAL, this program has a VERY HIGH AND VERY FAST RESPONSE RATE! Just US$30.00!. That’s your onetime only investment!!! And you will see results in two weeks! You can set up today... and actually be getting checks mailed to you tomorrow. Just in time for next month’s bills! And those will be the last bills you will ever ever have to worry about! You e-mail out 200 copies. Don't get discouraged by the high number. It's just a couple hours work and the rewards are endless. Not even your favourite Sport Hero or Entertainer does actually make this much with this little work ... Do you want to be financially set for life? Do you want to finally turn all your dreams in reality? Then do your homework! Even if you are already in a program, stay with it, but DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR and DO THIS ONE as well. START RIGHT NOW! It will pay off for life long before other letters even begin to trickle in! And in the end you'll more likely throw any other program you are in away! ************************************************************************ Thanks for reading this far... Now here are the simple details!!! Read and follow the simple instructions below exactly, and you will agree this is YOUR LIFETIME DEAL. Only invest a little bit of time, and in less than three months, you will receive over $300,000! YOU'LL BE FINANCIALLY FREE! Good luck! A) Mail $30.00 (wrapped in a piece of blank paper) to the name next to #1 at the top of the list. Include a note (typed or handwritten) saying "Dear .... (fill in with addresse name), Here is my $30.00 payment to buy from you the Internet business report you are selling. Please e-mail me the Internet business report I have ordered and add me to your mailing list. Thank you," and include your name, mailing address, and e-mail address. IMPORTANT: DO NOT add anything else in the message, just these words only. B) Remove the name next to #1 at the top of the list and move the rest of the names up one position. Then place your name in the #4 spot. This is done by saving this to a file where you can edit the changes and enter it in your information on line #4. Be very careful when you type the addresses and proof read them. Don't include your e-mail address in the list, just give it to the person you are making the $30.00 payment to only. C) When you have completed the above instructions, e-mail the 200 letters. This letter has been proven perfectly legal as long as you follow the above instructions, because you are purchasing a product while joining membership in our exclusive mailing list. To mail this out over the Internet, you can browse through areas and find people to send this to all the time. All you have to do is cut and paste e-mail addressess wherever you are on the Internet. Remember, it doesn't cost anything to e-mail on the internet. FIFTY THOUSAND NEW PEOPLE GET ON THE INTERNET EVERY DAY! An excellent source of names is the people who send you other programs and the names listed on the letter they send you. An endless source is the FREE CLASSIFIEDS, there are thousands on the Net! Your contact source is UNLIMITED! Don't forget that the Ad boards scroll quickly so you must keep an eye on your Ads and make sure, that if they are gone, that you re-post them. You should also send them to people who s! end you their programs because they know these programs work and they are already believers in the system! D) Once the name next to #1 at the top of the list gets your $30.00 onetime only investment, this person will e-mail you the Internet business report, which is your purchase and the item making this program 100% legal. Save this report to a file because after you receive any of your $30.00 payments from all people joining this program then you will have to resell the Internet report by e-mailing it to them, in order to be legally entitled to keep the money as your legit profit off the sale. OKAY I KNOW WHAT YOUR THINKING RIGHT NOW... ANOTHER CHAIN LETTER... NO-IT-IS-NOT... DO YOU SEE ANYTHING HERE THAT TELLS YOU THAT THE PERSON BREAKING THE CHAIN WILL SUFFER BAD LUCK!!! ----NO---- Keep in mind there is no limit to the amount of names you could send out. The more names you send, the more money you will make. We strongly encourage you to e-mail this letter to family and friends and to everyone you can think of as well. One of the people you send this to may send out 50,000... and your name will be on everyone of them! Be patient, it took me six months to decide to join this program. The average time for people to make up their mind and decide to get into it is one week or so to really get up and going, but this time does come!!! Assume for example, that you get a 5% return rate, which is a very realistic figure. Both my first and second attempt were about that so it's not just a projected income, it's a fact. 1) When you e-mail out 200 letters, 10 people will send you $30.00 = $300 2) Those 10 people e-mail out 200 letters and 100 people send you $30.00 = $3,000 3) Those 100 people e-mail out 200 letters and 1,000 people send you $30.00 = $30,000 4) Those 1,000 people e-mail out 200 letters and 10,000 people send you $30.00 = $300,000 At this point, your name drops off the list. Think about it. With only four levels, you have received over $300,000!!! I think IT'S WORTH $30.00, don’t you? NOW IS THE TIME FOR YOUR TURN! ************************************************************************* ***TRUE STORIES*** ************************************************************************* Jump on this today before it becomes saturated in the market place. It is now Brand New! I have been through this program 2 times already... you have no idea how profitable it is. It is definitely the fastest thing available. We are talking about $300,000 plus after three months ... more than $1,500,000 in the end!!! Send it to as many as you can (even though it says 200... trust me. I sent 1,000!) I've-bought a great home, a Corvette, a truck, taken the kids to Disneyworld, upgrated my CPU and quit my regular job to "retire" at 34 and play golf all day!.... you can't lose!! Don't JUDGE TOO quickly this the answer to all of your problems! Complete it in ONE HOUR and you will never forget the day you first received it... Ken Powell, Waco, Tx ************************************************************************* IT’S OUTRAGEOUS!!! With just two hours of work I have made over $300,000 in the last three months.. and my investment was just $30.00!!! I can't believe it! It has truly changed my life! I thank God for the day I received this letter! Don’t be afraid to make gifts to strangers--they’ll come back to you in ten-fold. So, let’s keep it going and help each other out in these tough and uncertain times... Susan Lee, Shreveport, La ************************************************************************* G'Day! I am an young girl from OZ. Not being the gambling type, it took me several weeks to make up my mind to give it a burl in this plan. Bludger and conservative that I am, fearing I could sprung I finally decided that the initial investment wasn't exy at all and no way I was making a blue and wouldn't get enough response to at least get my money back. Woa, was I bloody doozey rapt when I found my medium-size post office box crammed with prezzy letters! For a while, it got so overloaded that I had to start picking up my mail at the window. I have made more money in three months than any I could dream of and now I don't have to work anymore and can rage on my entire life!!! The beauty about this bizzo is that it doesn't matter where in the world you live! Too right there simply isn't a better fair dinkum investment with a faster return. Ripper!!! Sarah Yates, Melbourne, Vic (Australia) ************************************************************************* So I am here to tell you that I took the CHANCE OF A LIFETIME AND I DECIDED TO PUT MY MONEY WHERE MY MOUTH IS AND INSTEAD OF EATING A FEW HAMBURGERS OR BUYING SOMETHING I DON'T NEED... I put that $30.00 where my FUTURE IS... and I was rewarded, OH MY!!! I Couldn't put up with the cash flowing in!!! $300,000 MORE STRONG! In just 3 months!!! This is more fun than winning at the Lottery! Because it's just luck in that case while here it's up to me to make it happen!!! Jeff Gray, Baltimore, Md ************************************************************************* ***CAN I DO IT AGAIN?*** ************************************************************************* OF COURSE YOU CAN--this plan is structured for everyone to send only 200 letters each. However, you are certainly not limited to 200. Mail out as many as you can. Every 200 letters you send has a return of $300,000 or more. If you can mail 400, 600, 800, or whatever, GO FOR IT! THE MORE YOU PUT INTO IT THE MORE YOU GET OUT OF IT! Anytime you run this program, just follow steps 1 thru 4 and everyone on your list benefits! Simple enough? You bet it is! This is no four marketing reports to order from 4 different people to get you going, it's an one-time purchase of one single e-mail report, much easier and faster to run! What's more, there are no mailing lists to buy (and wait for), and trips to the printer or copier, and you can do it again and again with your regular groups or gifters, or start up a new group. Each time you receive an MLM offer, respond with this letter! Your name will climb to the number one position at dizzying geometric rates. Follow the simple instructions, and above all, PLEASE PLAY FAIR. That’s THE KEY to this programs success. Your name must run the full gamut on the list to produce the end results. The only way this program can make good money is that each do their part. Unfortunately there are always some "smart" people that do not want to play fair. They add their name on top of the list and not mail anything to the person in the #1 position. These persons don't realize what they do to others might be done to them later. What comes around goes around ... SNEAKING YOUR NAME HIGHER UP ON THE LIST WILL NOT PRODUCE THE RESULTS YOU THINK, it only cheats the other people who have worked hard and have earned the right to be there and ultimately will ruin your chances to collect your money. So please, play by the rules and the $$$ will come to you! E-MAIL YOUR LETTERS OUT RIGHT NOW! *********************************************************************** ***TIPS FOR SUCCESS*** *********************************************************************** * TREAT THIS AS YOUR BUSINESS! Be prompt, professional, and follow the directions accurately. * Send the $30.00 for the report IMMEDIATELY so you will have it when the money start coming in because: When you receive a $30.00 order, you MUST send out the requested product / report to comply with the U.S. Postal & Lottery Laws, Title 18,Sections 1302 and 1341 or Title 18, Section 3005 in the U.S. Code, also Code of Federal Regs. vol. 16, Sections 255 and 436, which state that "a product or service must be exchanged for money received." * BE PATIENT AND PERSISTENT WITH THIS PROGRAM. If you follow the instructions exactly, the results WILL undoubtedly be SUCCESSFUL! * ABOVE ALL, HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF AND KNOW YOU WILL SUCCEED! ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON THE ORDERS YOU RECEIVE. GOOD LUCK!!! ************************************************************************ #1 Carmen Gonzalez 6240 S.

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE NOW!! You probably don’t believe this will work, but if you don’t try it you will never know. That’s the way I felt. Try it. You will thank me for the rest of your life! ... As for me, this is my last shot. Of course I don't need anymore money now (thanks God!) as I am set for life, but I decided to take a final ride anyway in order to collect at least another $300,000 that I want to use to built a non profit foundation that will take care of the helpless third world children ... This is another dream I always wanted to accomplish and I feel the Big Man Upstairs that watches over us all will hopefully (with your support) help me (and you too!) to give back to the ones in more need of help like he has blessed me so far ... we can help others while taking care of ourselves and the ones we care most ...

Whenever I stick myself on a little piece of glass I always need one tiny Band-Aid to cover the cut and 4 yards of surgical tape to keep it in place as I continue to grind... 2) A Grinder's Mate (or Grinder Buddy). These things are GREAT. They're a spring-loaded gripper that holds even very small pieces of glass while you grind... They cost about $25 at the SG Retail stores... I bought one, and my husband liked it so much he monopolized it and so I had to go buy another.

My comments are just that- my comments. Others may well have widely different ideas of what they saw at the show. There were a large number of exhibitors and many stained glass related wholesalers were represented. Perhaps 60% of the exhibitiors were small players ranging from the inventor of Designer Glass Clips to small studios. Nearly everyone had product for direct sale such as suncatchers and stepping stones. There were several displays of Tiffany style lamp shades for sale at amazingly low prices. For the most part these lamps used quality glass and the workmanship was EXCELLENT. I would not consider buying these shades because I do not believe in abusing workers no matter what country they come from. I tell you- the day will come when these slave labor products are banned from the American market. I saw the new Spectrum multicored water glass. It is a hit! There is one blue/grey that is simply a must for water. Got to have it. Hakko has invented a fume trap that consists of a self contained vacuum/filter assembly that sits on the floor and is connected to a small articulated hood. It runs quietly and seemed to suck up soldering smoke well. Drawbacks are price (not established but) likely +$500.00, small size and operating cost for filters. Designer Glass Clips has invented a plastic clip that has more depth reach for use in securing glass in cabinet doors. There is also a new ingenious adjustable glass clip to fill out their line. Toyo has discovered different colors for their glass cutters but nothing else is known of their research. Cascade has finally come out with 1/2" flat H lead with an internal brass reinforcing strip to go with the other products in that line. I will have a case soon. Glastar sold a third B-12 Beveler to me. I must like them. I did not see any garden stakes and only a few beads and K-scopes. Nor did I see any mobiles. I saw glass inlayed garden benches from $1,400.00 to $1,600.00. I did not even consider buying. My partner said he would make the mold from plywood and a piece of bender board for $10.00 rather than pay the $90.00 asked for the mold. We were both very interested in the many fused objects shown. In our opinion, nothing, not one single thing, was very impressive. Only simple basic projects were seen.

We have a special foam-backed plastic placement that cushions the pieces (Wal-Mart, 99 cents). He sits down, turns on the NASCAR races, and foils like a speed demon (pun intended.)

I groz when I need to and only grind when I absolutely have to. Just trying to work better, and cutting better. Practice practice practice...... maybe I will make it to Cargnagie Hall and they will have me cut glass. Some of us were taught that you had to grind your glass as part of the procedure before foiling. I was taught eons ago when I first started glass, I had to grind, and just did what I was taught. But it seems that if you cut right, then you don't have to grind. I was told that the foil would not adhere if you didn't grind. Big fib..... So with encouragement from folks on this page I have just been trying to hone my cutting skills. I must say I have a dear friend that cuts all her glass with a ring saw. She doens't cut a piece of glass by hand at all. She does her cuts then grinds. So everyone has their own way.

This was after his little accident Dec. 4th in which we spent 4 hours in the emergency room at our local hospital, getting his finger stitched up after a brush with one of the full sheets of glass in one of the storage bins. Not a good thing for a professional cellist to cut his finger. So...no my husband is quite uninterested in actually doing anything with glass. He's quite good at selling my work, but that's it. Update on the piggie lampshade project - The piggie fairy was in on Saturday (i.e. Sparks ran my shop while I was out at an outdoor craft fair). All pieces were foiled & the lampshade tack soldered in place on the mold. Yesterday (Sunday) I finished cutting & foiling some few missing pieces - did I mention we had a little accident with the pieces a while back and some were broken? Anyway...I've gotten about 25% of the front full soldered. Boy, I hate looking at this thing.

Hi kt You'll find as you work more and more with glass your hands will toughen up to the point where you get thick enough calluses that the back side of the glass won't cut you. And...when was the last time you repositioned your grinder head...if you're pushing hard enough to cut yourself, either you're pushing too hard (trying to grind too fast) or your head is dull (the grinders, I mean...not yours).

While it's not likely, you could conceivably sprain or break a finger doing that, or get a nasty shock if the motor overloads and blows up on you. Never, *ever* let anything that's "loose" but attached to you - hair, clothing, ends of gloves, you name it - get anywhere *near* ANY power tool or operating machinery, no matter *how* "low power" you think it is. You're asking for disaster. If you feel you've just *gotta* protect your fingers, Band-Aids and waterproof adhesive tape are a lot safer. Make sure you get the real Johnson & Johnson adhesive tape though - the generic stuff doesn't stick as well (she said, speaking from experience of having on occasion preserved my fingers through several lo-o-o-o-ong days in a row of grinding, such as during the infamous Children's Hospital mosaic project). Or try those grinder tongs. They're kind of expensive and I haven't tried them myself, but they look like a reasonable alternative. But rubber gloves? No way!

The first item that I had to have was a silver clay set that you fuse to 1600 degrees and can either use it to cast sterling silver items or to frame pendants and earrings. For $89 I got a book on how to do it and three samples of the silver clay. One is clay like, one comes in a syringe, and one comes as a "paste". I am anxious to try this out. Another item that I saw new is a scotch-tape like substance that when applied to glass makes it look like a bevel. Unbelievable but it really looked good. There was a special cutter to ensure you cut the tape just right for the different shape of the bevel and it looked very expensive. I didn't even ask the price. This was an international trade show and the folk from Germany had set up a booth displaying minature shades...they had just about all of the traditional Tiffany shades no more than 6-8 inches across the bottom. They also had lamp bases that matched. The lamp shade forms were much like the Odyssey forms. The Japanese brought lanterns. They are similar to the Clarity lantern kits (discontinued) but the bases have a Japanese flavor and are much larger. They had a full display of lanterns with bases about 12 inches across and the four sides were about 20-24 inches high. Vicky Payne was there with a new videotape on fusing with Jayne Persico. Kay Bain Weinner was there demonstrating decorative soldering. A newcomer Lisa Vogt was signing a new pattern book, Tropical Teasers. Studio One had a lot of plated suncatchers. I asked them if they did plating but was told only for their studio. Royalty (Terry Knudsen) from Colorado Springs said they would accept items to get plated. Lot of tee shirts (I came home with 6). Austin Thin Film was passing out dichoric samples. And that's about all I can remember. I agree with Bob, the Las Vegas show was a little more manageable in terms of seeing demos and learning more how-to-do-its. It was a really thrilling experience to have the opportunity to attend. If anyone has the opportunity, you should certainly take advantage of it and plan to spend more than one day. That's so you can go back and see if you've missed anything the first time around.

From a marketing standpoint I think it makes all the sense in the world to be in both. 1. Someone could very well be a customer of both stores, but you know those shopping decisions can be tough! Maybe they don't buy at first store, but see your stones again and buy. Repetition is a very important part of marketing your product. 2. Second, you are absolutely right, the clientele could well be different, so you've tapped a second market. 3. Third - you have networked with a different business owner and that can always grow to other connections. Best of luck - please let us know how it works.

I suspect all the mass produced lamps that I saw were made in China. Please do not get me wrong. I have no problem with buying Chinese or other foreign products that are legal for sale in the US. But when I see a well made lamp shade of +500 pieces for sale for $64.00 I know something is wrong and will not support it. Ten years ago and before there were a lot of Tiffany knock offs that were constructed from cheap glass and often showed poor workmanship. Uneven foiling, chipped glass, crooked seams of varying width and poor soldering were often the hallmarks. No so much anymore. The lamps that I have been seeing often have quality glass and workmanship of the highest order. $200.00 will get you a shade that in some respects is superior to a Tiffany. I say this because some origional Tiffanies that I have seen are on the dark side and the new knock offs are lighter and, to me, more pleasing. I suppose a case could be made that the cheap shades should be bought because the people that make fifteen cents an hour might starve otherwise. I don't buy it. It is NOT a matter of shutting out the competation but a matter of human decency. I like a bargain more than most people but do have a basic sence of fairness. Something is wrong with these lamp shades and I will have nothing to do with selling them or businesses that do sell them. ...................

After reading Bob's review I decided I didn't have too. But, after all I did promise. Besides, I figure I'm coming from a different training/status level then Bob. So here goes: The trade show was great. Thanks, KIDDING!!! HERE GOES: This was my first stained glass show. I was fortunate enough to have signed up to go by van with other students/customers of Lighthouse Stained Glass in Venice, CA. 12 of us went. Besides getting to know other people on the hour ride to Long Beach, we had the benefit of being TRAPPED at the show. I'll explain. If I had gone on my own, I would have walked through the show once... I would have been overwhelmed (as I was) by the INCREDIBLE objet d'arte and been INTIMIDATED by the "SHOW PEOPLE" and would have gone home. But, having to stay until 2:30 to meet the van to go home (arriving @ 11am) made it impossible for me NOT to examine each and every booth. I even had to fill the time MEETING PEOPLE! (Not as scary as it sounds - I found out) So, I got to get over my Overwhelm and started learning and listening and smiling and laughing and BOUGHT STUFF! Since, Bob already described most of the great things I don't have much to add... except.... if you get a chance to go... go! Meet people - talk learn.... Oh, right, I watched three demo sessions of the Morton System... which I had bought 6 months ago, and never used except for straight lines... I came home after my free lessons and started fixing all my irregular diamonds and squares in a glass panel I was dreading to work on cause it was so messed up. What would have taken me no less than three hours of frustration -- I did in 45 minutes! No kidding. So, again... go if you can. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Duchesneau To: Bungi ; 2 Shirley's List Sent: Sunday, June 13, 1999 7:09 PM Subject: Trade show review > I attended the International Art Glass Suppliers Trade Show (Source '99) > sponsored by the Art Glass Suppliers Association Int'l (AGSA) today in Long > Beach, CA.

Are you referring to a flanged ring that fits around the top edge? if so, I recall seeing an illustration where they put the ring on the mold first (flanged side to the inside) and started piecing from there rather then attaching the ring last. It seemed to make a lot of sense to me. And while we're on the subject, has anyone out there ever used the lamp molds (from Rainbow? I forget) where you assemble the shade on the *inside* of the mold? The manufacturer claims it gives a smoother outer surface to the finished lamp. I'd think it would be a real pain to fit the pieces properly.

In fact, am building the 22" "Elaborate Peony" as we speak. The brass ring goes "on" the bottom (not inside or outside). It fits into an indentation in the mold usually... If you put the ring in it's groove on the mold you can see how it fits right in there. and then the bottom row of pieces come right down to it. I keep the ring there while I'm cutting, grinding, fitting, and foiling. Usually the rings are used only on "even bottom" lampshades. Irregular bottom shades require 12 guage copper wire to be bent and fitted up and down and around the bottom row of pieces. (I helped a good friend do this for her Odessy Laburnum lampshade last year.), While the ring is still in place on the mold I flat solder up to (but not onto) the ring. Then, when I've finished my sections (sometimes halves on a small lamp, in thirds on a larger lamp, and sometimes top and bottom..so as to remove them from the mold), I reassemble them by soldering the adjoining seams, solder on the top ring, then turn it upside down and solder on the bottom ring. Once the rings are on, the shade has enough stability for me to continue to full solder the inside, and then back to the outside for beading all the solder lines. Let me know how it goes....which Apple Blossom Odessey pattern are you making?

I generally wrap some of the guard tape around the tips of my first two fingers and my thumb which seem to be where I get most of my cuts. The tape is so high-friction that it just sticks to itself and forms a perfect fit around the finger. It is so tough that I have never been able to cut it with glass or glass working tools (I have gone through it with a woodworking band saw, but that is to be expected). Because of the perfect fit this tape does not get caught in grinders the way gloves do. It also seems to be resistant to melting from solder, irons, etc. ---- 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 Jun 15 15:27:35 1999 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 13:53:48 -0700 (PDT) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #9 built 1998-Oct-12) X-Path: aisl.bc.ca!atwoods From: "Tim & Adriana Atwood" To: "Bungi" Content-Type: text/plain; Subject: Re: Sales question Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 13:31:41 -0700 Message-ID: <1999Jun15.63141.0> Precedence: bulk If the clientele is truly different, I wouldn't worry about it. If both shops have overlapping clientele, I recommend trying to have different pieces in each place. Seeing the same identical piece in two places tends to "cheapen" it in many peoples view and it could hurt your sales. On the other hand, someone who sees exactly the right thing in the second shop after not quite seeing the right thing in the first, is going to be happy customer. Some shop owners may view it as competition and not like it. I personally feel that anything that helps the artist get sales and exposure helps the shop owner in the long run. I feel this includes sales through a different store. Many store owners do not agree with me though. You probably want to at least talk it over with both shop owners so they are not surprised when they hear you are selling through somewhere else too. -----Original Message----- From: Shirley Balloch To: glass@bungi.com Date: Monday, June 14, 1999 9:14 AM Subject: Sales question >Hi group, >As you all know I do stepping stones.

I am not the most organized person, so I usually do not know what I used a particular set of gloves for. Since certain combinations could create unknown and maybe more dangerous chemicals, I prefer to play it safe and use a new pair. Also, I find the heavier gloves which might last longer take away my sense of touch and dexterity too much, so I prefer the light weight disposable gloves. Plus I hate remembering the hole I put in a glove the last time AFTER I get acid flux into a cut this time. For flux and solder work, I tend to not wear gloves. I prefer a barrier cream. I worry a little about acid flux dissolving lead and other heavy metals which could then transfer into my blood stream through open cuts and possibly the pores of my skin. However, most of the specifications for barrier creams I have read would indicate they are quite good at preventing absorption of water based chemicals. I wear gloves for glues (U.V. Glass resin glues, most woodworking glues), organic solvents of any sort, and many patina compounds (If I don't know what heavy metals or other chemicals are in a patina, I would prefer to be safe than sorry). Note: I have seen such things as linseed oil listed in some people's recipes for came cement here in bungi-land. Pure linseed oil is fairly safe. However, processed linseed oil often contains drying agents which are fairly dangerous metal salts such as cadmium salts. Even though the original linseed oil is from a natural source, it still is an organic solvent / organic polymer mix which can carry these cadmium salts through your skin and into you blood stream. I personally use at least a barrier cream when working with any organic solvent, including linseed oil. If I need to research MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) information for chemicals I use, some good places to start are: www.msc.cornell.edu/helpful_data/msds.html www.ehs.ohio-state.edu/htmls/MSDS.html www.sherwinwilliams.com www.ppgaf.com www.ilpi.com -----Original Message----- From: Suzanne Gunn To: Tim & Adriana Atwood Cc: Bungi Date: Thursday, June 10, 1999 9:00 PM Subject: Re: string >> The >> gloves don't last long but when your working with chemicals that is >exactly the idea - you should throw them away once they are >contaminated from >any particular chemical anyway. > >Why ?

NO NEED YOU TO REPLY WITH "REMOVE". AFTER RECEIVING THIS MESSAGE YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED IN MY REMOVE LIST AND WON'T BE BOTHERED ANYMORE, SO KEEP YOUR COOL AND ENJOY READING THIS. THANK YOU. ************************************************************************ IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME $$$ ... HEY! LOOK AT THIS! THIS IS THE MOST PROFITABLE MONEY-MAKING PHENOMENON YOU WILL EVER SEE!! Please follow the instructions of this letter very carefully, immediately save this letter to a file, then edit it (with Microsoft Word or Notepad), and READ TWICE (no, there is no 'catch')... It's a well known fact that the Internet has been making a lot of people RICH! Most of them are people just like me and you! With currently NEARLY 2 MILLION people jumping on the Internet every month, NOW is the time to act! But don't take my word for it, IBM says 550 Millions NEW Internet users will be available online in the next 3 years. If you want to stop worrying about money REALLY FAST, then please take a moment to read this simple program I am sharing with you. You DO NOT have to send $10.00 to five people or anything like that. Nor will you have to invest more money later to get things going. This is perfectly legal, IT IS NOT A CHAIN LETTER. THIS IS THE FASTEST, EASIEST PROGRAM YOU WILL EVER DO. Complete it in a two hours and you will never forget the day you first received it! The following is a plan to benefit you and your future. And your loving ones too ... THIS PROGRAM CAN AND WILL WORK FOR YOU! HOW DOES $300,000 IN THREE MONTHS SOUND? Don't laugh! Try this for a change while you wait for the other programs to start working. Before you curse and send this message to the recycle bin along with the others that are dropped into your in box daily, please take a moment to glance at the opportunity that presents itself here. I have trashed so many of these offers it boggles my mind to think of it. After many unsuccesful attempts of trying to make money on the Internet I decided that this would be worth a try... AND IT CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER! It really works, and you can't go wrong! So give it a shot and see for yourself how good it is! Don't pass on luck once it knocks on your door. DON'T JUDGE THIS TOO QUICKLY. This is the answer to all of your problems! Please do not throw stones at the electronic postperson. DO NOT consider this a SPAM to your address... this is a one shot deal. If you don't want it... TOSS it! You won't be bothered again! When I first read the letter, I thought it was some off-the-wall idea to make money. Then I met again with my friend who got me this program to discuss the issue. I was curious about the letter, so he told me how it works. I thought it was a long shot, so I decided against participating. But something had clicked in my mind anyway and I kind of felt I wasn't doing the right thing, so before my pal left, I asked him to keep me updated as to his results. Soonafter I was caught in my daily busy schedule to make end meets and forgot about the whole story until ... About six months later, my pal called to tell me he was going to pick me up to drive me in his brand new Ferrari Testarossa he had just bought thanks the over $600,000 he had received in cash by running this 200 letter program twice!!! I could't believe my eyes: my childhood best friend I had played Little League with was driving a Ferrari and dating this Supermodel like babe, eating at fancy places, wearing expensive cl! othes, traveling the world in grand style and had kissed his old job goodbye! He was having the time of his life and since my pal cares about me, he really pressed me to try the plan and see for myself... I was already sold big time now and since there was absolutely nothing to lose, I jumped both feet into it! I followed the instructions exactly and mailed out 200 letters... You can bet the cash started flowing in!! It came slowly at first, but after three weeks, I was getting more than I could open in a day! After about three months the money stopped coming. My earnings at the end had totaled $334.429! Was I dreaming??? NO!!! After taking 2 months off to enjoy myself, buying that Mercedes I had always dreamed about and taking my girlfriend to that holiday around Europe we always wanted to do, I decided to try the letter again, but this time I sent out 500 letters. Well, three months after that, I had totaled $842.958.00!! I just couldn't believe it! SINCE STARTING THIS PROGRAM I HAD MADE OVER ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!! I WAS SET FOR LIFE!!! ************************************************************************* THIS IS A SERVICE AND IS 100% LEGAL!!! Esquire Marketing Newsletter Gift Club This service is 100% legal (Refer to US Postal and Lottery Laws, Title 18, Section 1302 and 1341, or Title 18, Section 3005 in the US code, also in the code of federal regulations, Volume 16, Sections 255 and 436, which state "a product or service must be exchanged for money received") There are a lot similar letters going around. What make this one different and the major factor is in being sure the whole thing is perfectly legal, since no one wants to risk doing anything illegal. If you send a letter like this out, to be legal, you must sell something if you expect to receive a dollar. Anyone sending a dollar out must receive something in return. This fact, alone, results in more returns. This program consists in just US$30.00 onetime only investment. Anyone making this payment out receives in return from the person who has been benefited a powerful Internet business report, delivered by e-mail. This report will have to be saved to a file to be e-mailed later to everyone sending him or her the $30.00. THAT'S IT! IT IS VITAL TO ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME- DAY SERVICE AFTER RECEIVING THE MONEY! This will help guarantee that the e-mail THEY send out, with YOUR name and address on it, will be prompt because they can't advertise until they receive the report! To grow this program fast (so your income in the end) be prompt and courteous. We suggest to report your income to the tax office but it's up to you. It's ALL taxable, minus your expenses! ************************************************************************ GET A LOAN THAT YOU NEVER-EVER-EVER-HAVE TO PAY BACK!!! Here’s How It Works: Unlike all other similar programs, this is more realistic, faster and much, much more profitable. There might be a bigger bunch of letters to e-mail out, and one $30.00 payment to afford, but all is rewarded by the higher number of people it is exposed to (so hooked up) with just 4 names in the list, while keeping the amount of mail received at reasonable figures. It is also very inexpensive to participate in because it is designed to be run totally on-line. Using e-mail this program moves live, (this is not snail mail, taking forever to see any money)! Because it is so easy, because of the LOW INVESTMENT, SPEED, AND HIGH PROFIT POTENTIAL, this program has a VERY HIGH AND VERY FAST RESPONSE RATE! Just US$30.00!. That’s your onetime only investment!!! And you will see results in two weeks! You can set up today... and actually be getting checks mailed to you tomorrow. Just in time for next month’s bills! And those will be the last bills you will ever ever have to worry about! You e-mail out 200 copies. Don't get discouraged by the high number. It's just a couple hours work and the rewards are endless. Not even your favourite Sport Hero or Entertainer does actually make this much with this little work ... Do you want to be financially set for life? Do you want to finally turn all your dreams in reality? Then do your homework! Even if you are already in a program, stay with it, but DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR and DO THIS ONE as well. START RIGHT NOW! It will pay off for life long before other letters even begin to trickle in! And in the end you'll more likely throw any other program you are in away! ************************************************************************ Thanks for reading this far... Now here are the simple details!!! Read and follow the simple instructions below exactly, and you will agree this is YOUR LIFETIME DEAL. Only invest a little bit of time, and in less than three months, you will receive over $300,000! YOU'LL BE FINANCIALLY FREE! Good luck! A) Mail $30.00 (wrapped in a piece of blank paper) to the name next to #1 at the top of the list. Include a note (typed or handwritten) saying "Dear .... (fill in with addresse name), Here is my $30.00 payment to buy from you the Internet business report you are selling. Please e-mail me the Internet business report I have ordered and add me to your mailing list. Thank you," and include your name, mailing address, and e-mail address. IMPORTANT: DO NOT add anything else in the message, just these words only. B) Remove the name next to #1 at the top of the list and move the rest of the names up one position. Then place your name in the #4 spot. This is done by saving this to a file where you can edit the changes and enter it in your information on line #4. Be very careful when you type the addresses and proof read them. Don't include your e-mail address in the list, just give it to the person you are making the $30.00 payment to only. C) When you have completed the above instructions, e-mail the 200 letters. This letter has been proven perfectly legal as long as you follow the above instructions, because you are purchasing a product while joining membership in our exclusive mailing list. To mail this out over the Internet, you can browse through areas and find people to send this to all the time. All you have to do is cut and paste e-mail addressess wherever you are on the Internet. Remember, it doesn't cost anything to e-mail on the internet. FIFTY THOUSAND NEW PEOPLE GET ON THE INTERNET EVERY DAY! An excellent source of names is the people who send you other programs and the names listed on the letter they send you. An endless source is the FREE CLASSIFIEDS, there are thousands on the Net! Your contact source is UNLIMITED! Don't forget that the Ad boards scroll quickly so you must keep an eye on your Ads and make sure, that if they are gone, that you re-post them. You should also send them to people who s! end you their programs because they know these programs work and they are already believers in the system! D) Once the name next to #1 at the top of the list gets your $30.00 onetime only investment, this person will e-mail you the Internet business report, which is your purchase and the item making this program 100% legal. Save this report to a file because after you receive any of your $30.00 payments from all people joining this program then you will have to resell the Internet report by e-mailing it to them, in order to be legally entitled to keep the money as your legit profit off the sale. OKAY I KNOW WHAT YOUR THINKING RIGHT NOW... ANOTHER CHAIN LETTER... NO-IT-IS-NOT... DO YOU SEE ANYTHING HERE THAT TELLS YOU THAT THE PERSON BREAKING THE CHAIN WILL SUFFER BAD LUCK!!! ----NO---- Keep in mind there is no limit to the amount of names you could send out. The more names you send, the more money you will make. We strongly encourage you to e-mail this letter to family and friends and to everyone you can think of as well. One of the people you send this to may send out 50,000... and your name will be on everyone of them! Be patient, it took me six months to decide to join this program. The average time for people to make up their mind and decide to get into it is one week or so to really get up and going, but this time does come!!! Assume for example, that you get a 5% return rate, which is a very realistic figure. Both my first and second attempt were about that so it's not just a projected income, it's a fact. 1) When you e-mail out 200 letters, 10 people will send you $30.00 = $300 2) Those 10 people e-mail out 200 letters and 100 people send you $30.00 = $3,000 3) Those 100 people e-mail out 200 letters and 1,000 people send you $30.00 = $30,000 4) Those 1,000 people e-mail out 200 letters and 10,000 people send you $30.00 = $300,000 At this point, your name drops off the list. Think about it. With only four levels, you have received over $300,000!!! I think IT'S WORTH $30.00, don’t you? NOW IS THE TIME FOR YOUR TURN! ************************************************************************* ***TRUE STORIES*** ************************************************************************* Jump on this today before it becomes saturated in the market place. It is now Brand New! I have been through this program 2 times already... you have no idea how profitable it is. It is definitely the fastest thing available. We are talking about $300,000 plus after three months ... more than $1,500,000 in the end!!! Send it to as many as you can (even though it says 200... trust me. I sent 1,000!) I've-bought a great home, a Corvette, a truck, taken the kids to Disneyworld, upgrated my CPU and quit my regular job to "retire" at 34 and play golf all day!.... you can't lose!! Don't JUDGE TOO quickly this the answer to all of your problems! Complete it in ONE HOUR and you will never forget the day you first received it... Ken Powell, Waco, Tx ************************************************************************* IT’S OUTRAGEOUS!!! With just two hours of work I have made over $300,000 in the last three months.. and my investment was just $30.00!!! I can't believe it! It has truly changed my life! I thank God for the day I received this letter! Don’t be afraid to make gifts to strangers--they’ll come back to you in ten-fold. So, let’s keep it going and help each other out in these tough and uncertain times... Susan Lee, Shreveport, La ************************************************************************* G'Day! I am an young girl from OZ. Not being the gambling type, it took me several weeks to make up my mind to give it a burl in this plan. Bludger and conservative that I am, fearing I could sprung I finally decided that the initial investment wasn't exy at all and no way I was making a blue and wouldn't get enough response to at least get my money back. Woa, was I bloody doozey rapt when I found my medium-size post office box crammed with prezzy letters! For a while, it got so overloaded that I had to start picking up my mail at the window. I have made more money in three months than any I could dream of and now I don't have to work anymore and can rage on my entire life!!! The beauty about this bizzo is that it doesn't matter where in the world you live! Too right there simply isn't a better fair dinkum investment with a faster return. Ripper!!! Sarah Yates, Melbourne, Vic (Australia) ************************************************************************* So I am here to tell you that I took the CHANCE OF A LIFETIME AND I DECIDED TO PUT MY MONEY WHERE MY MOUTH IS AND INSTEAD OF EATING A FEW HAMBURGERS OR BUYING SOMETHING I DON'T NEED... I put that $30.00 where my FUTURE IS... and I was rewarded, OH MY!!! I Couldn't put up with the cash flowing in!!! $300,000 MORE STRONG! In just 3 months!!! This is more fun than winning at the Lottery! Because it's just luck in that case while here it's up to me to make it happen!!! Jeff Gray, Baltimore, Md ************************************************************************* ***CAN I DO IT AGAIN?*** ************************************************************************* OF COURSE YOU CAN--this plan is structured for everyone to send only 200 letters each. However, you are certainly not limited to 200. Mail out as many as you can. Every 200 letters you send has a return of $300,000 or more. If you can mail 400, 600, 800, or whatever, GO FOR IT! THE MORE YOU PUT INTO IT THE MORE YOU GET OUT OF IT! Anytime you run this program, just follow steps 1 thru 4 and everyone on your list benefits! Simple enough? You bet it is! This is no four marketing reports to order from 4 different people to get you going, it's an one-time purchase of one single e-mail report, much easier and faster to run! What's more, there are no mailing lists to buy (and wait for), and trips to the printer or copier, and you can do it again and again with your regular groups or gifters, or start up a new group. Each time you receive an MLM offer, respond with this letter! Your name will climb to the number one position at dizzying geometric rates. Follow the simple instructions, and above all, PLEASE PLAY FAIR. That’s THE KEY to this programs success. Your name must run the full gamut on the list to produce the end results. The only way this program can make good money is that each do their part. Unfortunately there are always some "smart" people that do not want to play fair. They add their name on top of the list and not mail anything to the person in the #1 position. These persons don't realize what they do to others might be done to them later. What comes around goes around ... SNEAKING YOUR NAME HIGHER UP ON THE LIST WILL NOT PRODUCE THE RESULTS YOU THINK, it only cheats the other people who have worked hard and have earned the right to be there and ultimately will ruin your chances to collect your money. So please, play by the rules and the $$$ will come to you! E-MAIL YOUR LETTERS OUT RIGHT NOW! *********************************************************************** ***TIPS FOR SUCCESS*** *********************************************************************** * TREAT THIS AS YOUR BUSINESS! Be prompt, professional, and follow the directions accurately. * Send the $30.00 for the report IMMEDIATELY so you will have it when the money start coming in because: When you receive a $30.00 order, you MUST send out the requested product / report to comply with the U.S. Postal & Lottery Laws, Title 18,Sections 1302 and 1341 or Title 18, Section 3005 in the U.S. Code, also Code of Federal Regs. vol. 16, Sections 255 and 436, which state that "a product or service must be exchanged for money received." * BE PATIENT AND PERSISTENT WITH THIS PROGRAM.

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE NOW!! You probably don’t believe this will work, but if you don’t try it you will never know. That’s the way I felt. Try it. You will thank me for the rest of your life! ... As for me, this is my last shot. Of course I don't need anymore money now (thanks God!) as I am set for life, but I decided to take a final ride anyway in order to collect at least another $300,000 that I want to use to built a non profit foundation that will take care of the helpless third world children ... This is another dream I always wanted to accomplish and I feel the Big Man Upstairs that watches over us all will hopefully (with your support) help me (and you too!) to give back to the ones in more need of help like he has blessed me so far ... we can help others while taking care of ourselves and the ones we care most ... Isn't that wonderful? Isn't that what life is all about? ... IF YOU BUILD IT, (the 200 e-mails program) THEY WILL COME $$$ ... (the $300,000 I mean!!!) ...

I'll have to pay good attention to the one I'm building now. It's just always worked out for me that way..putting the ring in place and then building the bottom rows to meet it. As for removing the soldered shade from the full mold in vertical sections.... for me it has to do with a tricky back, carpal tunnel syndrome, and managing the leverage and the weight of the big shades. After a couple of disasters (or near disasters) my instructor suggested the sectioning trick..and it's worked for me. You have a lovely site... I'm on shade #8 - have a long long way to go....

Here's what I do... When I finish soldering, I immediately wash it thoroughly with a gentle non-residue soap (Palmolive antibacterial works great), to remove all the flux (I use Glasflux), and rinse it very well. Then I use the NOVA patinas (black or copper, or a 3B/1C mixture for an antique bronze look) and apply generously. I use a clean acid brush. I've even "painted" my pieces with different patina colors depending on the effect I wanted...(it was stupendous on a 3' x 5' lanscape window I made last year.) Then I let the patina air dry under a fan. Then I wash it gently to remove the excess patina using only water and a very natural fiber scrub brush. (fie on the "scotchbright" pads here) Again, I air dry. Then I apply the Glass Finishing Compound as per the directions. When it has dried to a white haze, I use a soft terry towel to remove the bulk of the powder and then attack the solder seam crannies with a "detailing brush". "What's a 'detailing brush'? It's what car detailers use to get the chrome polish out of the cracks and crannies in the cars... Go to the home center... buy a white "china bristle" brush. (they come in 1", 2" and 3" sizes...I use them all.) These are cheap. With a pair of sharp SHARP scissors, trim the brush down flat to 1/4" to 5/8" above the part that grips the bristles. This incredible tool has two wonderful features: 1) it's strong enough to get into the solder crannies and dig out the excess powdered glass compound. 2) It's still soft enough so that it doesn't remove the patina or scratch the solder. I hope these tips work for you. Best regards, Cheryl Ryder Monica wrote: > Hi Everyone, > I could use some feedback on how to finish a project after it has been > soldered?

I live near Chicago. When I was out west awhile back they showed me this large wood frame (rectangular with a kind of squared-off oval opening) that my brother-in-law salvaged from a gazebo that was totaled in a wind storm. Originally contained plexiglass, but wouldn't it be nice to have a stained glass panel to fit this nice frame? So I traced the opening (the frame was too cumbersome to schlep on the plane) and did a copper foil panel (roughly 2 x 3 feet) of fushias (which my father grows as a hobby) and a couple of hummingbirds. Two weeks ago we drove west, they drove east and we met in Rapid City, SD. I had put a diagonal restrip in it but only thin (1/8"?) zinc around the outside because of the opening in the frame. So my folks call me when they get home. They (and the neighbors) agree that the frame is just too much--overwhelms the panel! So they've taken it to a studio out there to see about having something more substantial put around it so they hang it without the frame! ARGH! Mom says it would be easier if the panel was rectangular. DUH! Would have been easier to build, too! I guess I should have seen it coming. At least they love the panel. And I don't have to do the adjustments (unless the price is too high- --then they'll probably wait till I next come home). Has the potential to become a piggie. Don't know if I'd just put some heavier zinc on it, or add glass to the outside of the panel to make it rectangular. Hope I don't have to decide....

Well.... there is William Morris, Rene MackIntosh, John Piper, Patrick Reyntiens.....Elisabeth Roberg (except that she's a Swede....) In the village next to me is a stained glass creation by an East German Artiste - just before the Wall came down.... I corresponded with her for quite a while and she came for lunch a couple of times. There is the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (which has a remarkablby FEW selections of stained glass); the Glass Museum in London. There is also the Stained Glass Museum in Ely Cathedral (about 90 minutes north of London), which is WELL worth a visit. It contains some ecclesiastical work....but also a larger selection of secular stained glass. For viewing the "worst possible" photographic genre of stained glass that Britain has ever produced, do visit the Canterbury Cathedral and gawp at the s.g. of Princess Elizabeth and her father George...... (horrendeous!!!! So much so, it's almost appealing....) Ashmolean Museum in Oxford also houses some glass. The Entrance staircase at the Museum is host to the most incredible 3-D engraved glass I have ever seen.... (20th Century!) Visit Coventry and Liverpool Cathedral. In Covbentry you will see the ressurrection of the bombed-out Coventry Cathedral with stained glass by Patrick Reyntiens (executed in Dalle de Verre) The glass etchings in the front entrance is very daunting, but quite incredible. It was completed in the early 1960's. The location is ecclesiastical,the theme is more human / humanitarian related..... You will see what I mean when you are actually there...... Please let me know when and where you land in UK and whether you might spirit some time to meet up....

I have added to it and modified it somewhat. Dear Bob and fellow Bungi-ites (ists?) I enjoyed your review but I have to take issue with the editorial comments from my fellow Bungis. My husband and I live in a 3rd (he says 2nd) world country. It's just to the south of you and it's called Mexico. We moved here by choice for the practically perfect weather year round up here in our mountains. You maintain that it's slave labor because the prices are so low. NOT! I have gone into the workshops in Tonela (3 syllables: pronounce each one) and Tlaquepaque (think "lock a pocket") and seen the artisans work. Excellent craftspersons, very good work and very cheap. Why? Costs are low. Wages are low. People are not being forced to do this against their will. When will Americans (from the President on down) stop insisting that because it is cheap it must be made with slave/child labor? You are all using American standards to judge the rest of the world. Stop thinking of it from such a parochial standpoint. Get a world view of the thing, whatever it is, in this case, stained glass. I could go on and on and draw a lot of comparisons, but I won't. I've been to more movies since I've moved here than I attended in 10 years in the good ol' US of A. Why? Well, it doesn't cost me anywhere between 7 and a half and 10 bucks to get in. We will NOT pay 31/2 dollars for popcorn, or 6 bucks or whatever for Jujifruit. I think in pesos now: 50 pesos is 5 bucks and that's a lot of money for Mexicans. I think my whole trip to see "Titanic" came to under $10. that included the round trip bus fare from our village, margaritas on the bus and admission to the movie. Dinner (and a very good one, too) was an extra five dollars. In conclusion let me say that you all are still judging everything from the ultimate consuming post industrial first world nation. Think about it the other way round: is that money fairly earned and does it help the Mexican (or Chinese or whoever's) economy? Do the workers pay taxes, take the bus to and from work, pay their rent on time, buy stuff for birthdays and Xmas (I'd add Chanukah and everybody else's holiday too), generally kick back and have a fiesta (no reason needed) and generally live like you? Yes. But taxes aren't nearly as onerous, they are not wrapped so tightly in rules and regs (something only post-industrial nations can afford), public transportation is dirt cheap (1 or 2 pesos) and life seems to be enjoyed more. Well, my first posting to Bungi and let the flak fall where it may. Just some random thoughts. Sincerely, Kathie Coull, Las Golondrinas, San Antonio Tlayacapan, Mexico How to pronouce Tlayacapan: (Indian word) tah lie YA ca pan. All Mexican cities, towns, villages and hamlets have 2 names, a saint's name and its original Mexican indigenous people's name.

Two fellow bungians and myself went to visit Oceana, and I, for one, came back an Oceana convert. What a great visit, and the glass is absolutely stunning in person. First, it was fun to meet Steve Wernecke and Bob (sorry, don't know last name but he's from Cupertino), and Steve's son. These were NICE gentlemen, and when Toby's here for a visit, you're in for a treat when you meet Steve. I always enjoy his humor and input on bungi, and he's even better in person! Anyway, we went to the "factory" in Santa Cruz. It is a small, and very laid back factory, and practically everything is still done by hand. Ron, the owner, started the factory a few decades ago, and he employs only a hand full of glass workers, all of whom seem to enjoy their work. They mix the sand and chemicals in a big mixer that is turned by hand. Then, the mixture is shoveled into wheelbarrows - one wheelbarrow per furnace. There are 4 furnaces, and the sand cures in these furnaces overnight. They average 2600 degrees in heat……it's hot in there! The next day, the glass mixture is ladled out onto a metal table and the colorant is mixed in by hand. Then the guys roll the mound of lava/glass out using a big roller which flattens the glass. The sheet is removed and at this time it looks clear. The sheet is put into another oven that shoots flame down on top of the sheet at that brings out the color. At that point, the sheet is put on a cooling conveyor, which moves the glass through the cooling process. It takes 1 hour for the sheet of glass to travel 50 feet, and that determines the consistency of the glass - not to brittle and not too soft. At the end, the guys trim off any rough edges and prepare for crating. They make approx. 3 crates (40 sheets per crate) a day. Not a lot of glass, but they like to keep the operation small. The glass is exquisite, and truly a labor of love. (Bob, from Cupertino, can explain the chemical process if anyone is interested.) At the end, you can buy the glass, and it averaged $15/sheet if you bought it at the factory. An incredible bargain in my opinion. This was a fun experience. If anyone comes to the Santa Cruz area, it's a must see! I would guess a large glass factory is fun to visit too, but this family operation was a treat!

This discussion reminds me of when I was working in a brand-new chemical plant way out in the middle of East Nowhere, Texas, 20 years ago. The plant was paying substantially higher hourly wages than any other company in the area, and its employees were making a pretty darned good living, but because the dollar amounts on the paychecks weren't in line with similar operations in the high-cost-of-living industrial northeast and midwest, the Steelworkers and Teamsters and who-knows-who-else moved in to organize and agitate for northern-style pay. They ended up getting it, but it sure did upset the local economy and create a lot of bad feeling in the area. I still don't know what to think of situations like that. I'm just glad there wasn't a strike, because as a salaried person I would have had to cross the picket lines, and as the daughter of a machinist, I'm not sure I could have done it.

How do >you keep your hand from cramping while holding the >soldering iron??? A coupla thoughts....... Which way are you holding the iron? I used to get cramps in my hand when I used the "pencil grip." Holding it the other way, like you'd hold a screwdriver, gets your hand and wrist untwisted. (It also removes the temptation to "choke up" and thereby get a nasty burn, she said, speaking from painful experience and sounding like a broken record........) Also, as often as possible, make sure the piece you're soldering is oriented in the right direction and your soldering bench is at the right height so that you don't have to flex your wrist too much and can keep your hand and wrist in a fairly straight line while you're soldering. A wild-ass idea: While we're on the subject of soldering irons, does anyone out there have any thoughts on those bent tips? I think they're designed for soldering the insides of lampshades. But if you're used to using a soldering gun (which of course is "bent"), switching to a bent tip for your iron might get you closer to the grip you're comfortable with.

Cheers! Hi PJ Try experimenting with different grips as you hold your iron. You might also look at the height of your working surface relative to your wrist and experiment with adjustments...either by changing your chair or raising/lowering your studio table with blocks. And don't forget...exercise builds muscle...so solder more and it'll get easier! C.

There they sell aluminum, copper, and brass rods. Sorry I do not know the dia of them. There must be at least 6 sizes. What you buy depends on the weight of your project. I buy probably 1/8 inch dia. for my largest butterflies(8"X6") and one about the size of pencil lead for my indoor plant picks. They come in 3' lengths and are sold individually or by the pound, which ever is cheaper. The welder is also where I get my best buy in solder. Good luck and hope that helped. Shirley B Brass is the safest, because it will not bleach out and hurt the plants. It is also very easy to solder to.

Just as I was sitting down to write a summary of this visit [its been a busy week (as usual )] in comes your email. So, I'll just add a few things, odds and ends really, to your description. When she said it was a small operation, she meant like 6 people in the company. The proprietor has been in the biz for 16 years and in his mid to late 30's. Very nice fellow he is too. He said they're small and want to stay that way. One thing he said was that the process is continuous. They run 24/7 year round. This is due to the fact that actually shutting down the furnaces takes many days in order to cool the bricks down properly. If the bricks cool down too quickly, the bricks lining the furnaces crack and deform thereby "leaking" glass. The proprietor said that during the 1989 earthquake they lost electricity and water for a day and this is exactly what happened. The furnaces had to be replaced. Oceana was out of business for 3 months and close to bankruptcy. Glad he was able to get back in operation for the glass itself is quite good, excellent in fact. On-site the glass is actually sold by the pound, $3.75/lb for most colors and for certain colors with gold in them (reds) $4.25/lb. This works out to be about $6/sq ft and $6.80/sq ft respectively. A very good price considering the cost of glass most similar to theirs which is Ouroboros and Youghiogheny. Oceana's glass is best suited for Tiffany-style pieces such as lamps and designs for relatively opaque glass and I would recommend Oceana's glass for anyone doing these styles. Excellent quality. Diane, you may have missed a digit there as I think they do 140 sheets per day. See the sheet they gave us. Why they did at least 25 sheets just while we were standing there for an hour. Actually I clocked those two fellows (I do those kinda things donchano ) and they were doing a pour about every 2-3 min, the cadence being determined by the amount of time required to do the "flaming" step required to "bring the color out". As in chemistry, there are a lot of "little" things about exactly how they do it not included in the written procedures ... not written down that is; trade secrets as it were. So even though he has the original Tiffany formulas, his glass is not "exactly" like Tiffanys or any other. The furnace temps, the degassing time, the exact composition of the atmosphere while heating/mixing which is done overnight, the exact time and method of mixing just prior to pouring and rolling, the times and temps during flaming and then annealing are all variables they tell no one. This is why they don't permit videos during the process though taking still pictures is no problem. I believe we can expect to see a website for Oceana in the near future. He's got the site setup (domain name and so on) but no HTML code yet. I suggested he join the Bungi list when he gets online ... we'll see what happens. Anyway, it was a pleasure to meet you and your family as well as Steve and his son, Evan (who has just started doing glass himself). Get 'em started early eh Steve?

A couple of words of caution, because we've seen several brass stakes break in freezing weather: If you bend the rod at all, make sure you anneal the bend (a propane torch works well for this, just heat the area until it's red-hot) so it doesn't become brittle.

You sound like you can use advice that not only addresses this matter (win or lose - you'll feel better knowing where you stand) but also addresses your business prospects and procedures for the future. Look to the future - forewarned and forearmed. We recently had a post by an artist (in Australia in think) that "hounded" (my word) a man that bought a gift for his wife - until she got payment. We all applauded her tenacity and resolve. Sometimes it's "better" to let it go - sometimes not. You get to decide. Remember, we "pay" ($$ or effort) for education one way or another. As long as I remember that it makes the "pay as you go" plan a little easier for me. Good luck, Let us know.

You can hire Dun & Bradstreet to collect your debts for one year for $175.00 plus 25% of what they recover (sometimes you can work a deal with them for less on a really large debt that is not very old). They will hound them and if they don't get results turn it over to a lawyer for the legal steps. The first thing you need to do is send a letter that is marked at the top 'FINAL DEMAND FOR PAYMENT". In the letter you just state that this is the final demand for payment of such-and-such before it is turned over to Dun & Bradstreet for collection and give them 10 days to pay. The important thing is the letter should be sent certified mail with signature required and return receipt requested, even if they are located next door. This is your proof that you have tried to collect. If nothing else you can take a bad debt loss on your income tax. 90% of our deadbeat customers pay up because they are afraid of being reported in D&B. The other 10% we let D&B hound them until they are bankrupt or out of business. Hope this helps.

By the way, you should add to your contract some phrasing like, "If Lewis brings a legal action to collect any sums due under this Agreement, he shall be entitled to collect, in addition to all damages, his costs of collection, including reasonable attorney's fees." That way, the customer (not *you) pays all your attorney fees and collection fees. Substitute your name or your studio's name for "Lewis," of course. Milliken & Michaels have offices around the country and overseas, can collect even from speakers of languages other than English.

You're correct about their not doing too much for the money, it's the name that scares most larger companies into paying. Of course, if your personality allows it, the best bet is to hound them yourself, especially in person, and save the percentage. My personality doesn't lend itself to that, but we have an excellent collection gal that's a real tiger and if she can't collect it, nobody can! So we use D&B as a last resort before writing off the debt.

Great to be home I was getting glass withdrawal symptoms. I did find quite a few glass places, two which struck me as great. The first one is in Beaver Creek, Ohio, called Busy Beaver Crafts. What a place... wall to wall crafts in a small house with a basement full of glass. Literally, you had to step over yarn, doll parts, candle making supplies, bits and pieces of everything imaginable for crafts. At the back corner were some of the glass supplies. As I started gazing at the array of supplies I noticed a rack of pattern books and started thumbing through them. Then my eye caught a few boxes of them on the floor... thousands of patterns and some of them still marked with the original 1980 price or 1979 prices... $1.25, $1.95, WOW what a great time looking through them. I bought a 1980 Aurora pattern of a Hot Air Balloon with heart designs in it, a Lyre Bird pattern, and an older pattern book (brown with age) with an interesting rose and cross pattern, and other stuff. It was great... BTW I think I saw a few of those Microwave Kilns there. Whoever it was looking for one send me an email and I give you the details of the shop. The second shop was in Dayton, Ohio. A place called Village Stained Glass which another member (Carolyn Noel) recommended. Very nice owner named Janice and a great artisan. Bought lots of stuff there to. Of course throughout my travels I preached the virtues of joining the two glass groups. Only one less than friendly visit to report. A place in Yellow Springs, Ohio called GlassStudios. Nice lady artist, beautiful work... but the male working there (maybe her husband) was a real jerk. Stopped by the Dayton Art Institute and saw a larger Chihuly vase type thing. It was about 2 feet across and had fluted edges. Interestingly in the browns, and yellows, and all colors in-between were dark (almost black) spots. Also saw a piece by Ruhn (I think). A large triangular piece of crystal clear suspended by steel wires, in an twin oval cage, with what looked like three Rubeck's cubes inside. The squares were squares. His (I presume because the sign said He) cuts of the glass and all of the diachloric surfaces changed colors and sparkled like fine jewels. A few ladies were there looking at it and said "that's kind of pretty", until I showed them how to move in a circle every so slowly around the piece and admire the shimmering colors, reflected and refracted light. When I left they were still ohhhhing and ahhing and saying "stand here and look there"...... Well gang so much for the "What I did over the Summer" thesis. Tomorrow ... back to work. BTW I noticed a few new members and some old ones that haven't as yet sent me their bios for posting....hmmmm well I guess I will have to contact Dunn and Bradstreet to collect.

The fair selects winning entries for San Diego County that will compete at the grand State Fair in Sacremento, CA in a couple of months. There were barns full of cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and lesser creatures. There are all sorts of judging trials for the animals. I now know more about the mammery systems of goats than I had ever hoped. Bobby is the only person from my studio entering this year. He was not selected to even exhibit for several projects. The reason: poor slides submitted for pre judging. The slides had been taken with a black background and were poor. Bobby's fused bird house received a blue ribbon for most unique. His Winnie panel received a blue ribbon. His koi pond received an award of merit. The koi pond was a small exhibit when compared to just about every outher entry in the landscaping area. Many of the exhibits are valued in the tens of thousands of dollars and are from major companies. I passed by it three times and each time heard favorable comments from the people stopping by. Bobbie's koi pond stopped people where many of the exhibits were taken at a walking pace. The other stained glass I saw at the fair was rather unremarkable but I will try. Three sizable copper foil panels had frames that were a tour de force in woodworking. Seems she does glass and he wood. One used stock design sandblasted bevels and IMO should have been disqualified. There was a rather nice suncatcher of the broadside of a pig made from about nine pieces of glass. Pigs have so many unique design features to them (ears, nose, tail, etc.) that they make excellent subjects for stained glass. I saw about six garden stakes of butterflies on brazing rods. In the commercial section of the fair there were two booths that had cheap imported stained glass. Much of it was very poorly soldered on what would normaly be the back side. Also several stepping stones were shown. The glass was closely spaced and so irreglarities in cutting stood out. I like more spacing of glass in stepping stones and not copies of cartoons intended for lead or foil. There were some nice glass paperweights from China. Trouble was there were only four different designs and about fifty of each displayed. I felt no need to add to my paperweight collection. ...............

I agree absolutely with everything Kathie pointed out. What seem slave wages to us in the U.S. are excellent wages elsewhere. I haven't commented on the thread because I've learned that "convince a man against his will and he'll be of the same opinion still." Albert I think that you are getting lost in a common mis conception about slave wages here. It is the importers and re-sellers on from there that are the problem not original cost of production.If the imported goods were sold at a fair price by the importers and distributors there would be no problem. It is these people that are the real problem they allow them to be sold cheap to get a trading advantage over competitors by dumping goods like this on the market. There is a choice, sell a few at the correct price and make a large profit on each or sell a lot at a low price but make a larger profit by shifting more goods and putting your commercial opposition out of business. You are continuously being ripped off for goods in our world because you pay what the you THINK the goods are worth ,it is part of the method our western world uses for trading which I think we call capitalism.I remember years ago a british computer manufacturer though only small potatoes and long gone bust moaned when the profits he made on the computers he sold dropped below 900 per cent. Yes that's right he made the goods for 12pounds UK and sold them for over 100. We in the Uk at present quite happily buy cars for example 17,000 and pay up quite happily when we know that over the channel we can buy the same for 12,500.

I guess we'd have to define "fair price." I don't know about the UK folks, but Americans generally (the participants in this forum excepted, of course) want quality goods at rock-bottom prices. They put "Buy American" stickers on their automobile bumpers yet shop at Wal-Mart where much of what's on offer is made outside the U.S. It's true that the manufacturers, importers and resellers make more from each unit of merchandise than often the laborers do, even though the unit retail cost might be lower than American-made produced at American wages ... and *that's capitalism. Capital (money) is invested in plant, product and people to generate as much return as possible on the investment, not to achieve a moral end. Those who invested in Spectrum Glass Company, just as an example, did not do so because they believed in a need for general improvement in the living environment of people across the U.S. and around the world, but because they hoped and expected to earn more money from the investment of their original money. This is neither good nor bad. It's just business, as they say: money has no morals. Of course, it's "nice" if a company contributes part of its profits to moral ends; the purchasers of the product can thus "feel good" about feeding a family in the Amazon jungle as a result of buying a high-priced salad dressing made with "rainforest" spices gathered by natives at what we would call "slave wages," just as buyers of Tiffany lamps built by Chinese families might get a special "glow," knowing that their purchase not only makes their living spaces pleasant and well-lit, but the building of the lamp helped feed a Chinese family that might otherwise have had less, even though at the same time the American manufacturer of the glass itself profited from the sale of the glass and its employees (although mere Americans) were able to feed their families, too, and the investors, on top of all that good feeling and harmonious result, made a profit on their investment in the glass company! The alternatives to Capitalism haven't fared well, now have they? So what *is a "fair" price? It's the result of a pretty simple equation: cost of supplies + cost of labor + cost of delivery + profit = price. I guess it'd be the "profit" segment of the equation that would give some people a problem, but while a few suppliers might gouge buyers (your example, for instance) they can't keep it up for the long haul because the marketplace will eventually sort them out. > It is these people that are the real > problem they allow them to be sold cheap to get a trading advantage > over competitors by dumping goods like this on the market. There is > a choice, sell a few at the correct price and make a large profit on > each or sell a lot at a low price but make a larger profit by > shifting more goods and putting your commercial opposition out of > business. I guess we'd have to define "correct price." In the UK, is it what the lamp would cost if made of UK-manufactured glass and fittings? In the US, is it what it would cost if made by Americans with US-made glass and fittings? If Third World countries have to compete with US/UK wage and living levels, then they wouldn't be *competing, would they? And their products wouldn't sell, or at least not as easily. The world is a rapidly shrinking globe and personally I see nothing wrong or unfair in putting otherwise unemployed or underemployed people to work even if their lives and cultures are completely unlike ours, not to mention the fact that they probably don't understand the aesthetic behind much of what they create for sale in Western markets. To them, the fact that they can support their families is just as important as it is to some man or woman standing in front of a metal stamping machine in the US or the UK making widgets that are part of some larger design. They work and they get paid for their work at a level commensurate with the living conditions that prevail in their surroundings. Same for the Third World workers. "Fair" and "unfair" are beyond the scope of the equation and jingoism is outside the equation of capitalism. Or should be. > You are continuously being ripped off for goods in our > world because you pay what the you THINK the goods are worth ,it is > part of the method our western world uses for trading which I think > we call capitalism. Well, "ripped off" is a bit much, don't you think? It assumes that every shopper for any goods or services is not bright enough to actually shop around and find the best value for his or her money. In my experience, most people are more careful than that; they have to be. There are exceptions, of course; the Rainforest dressing mentioned above, for instance, is at least twice the price of supermarket brand dressing, but the latter doesn't give one a "glow" in addition to making the salad more tasty. If it's Capitalism per se that's troubling, then those who feel that way should perhaps be careful to charge no more for their lamps than the materials cost because ... well, you shouldn't "rip off" your customers by making a profit, nevermind that you'll be out of business in very short order and thus of no use to your customers when it comes to aftermarket service and support. Profit is good. Profit is necessary for survival, although I'm not saying that we should all be Gordon Gecko, either ... and perhaps that's what you're saying too: that there should be a *limit on the amount of profit one should make. I can't think of any glass artists or craftspeople who're suffering under an excess profit load, though. And exercises to "control" profit are both difficult and questionable. Okay, Bill Gates is worth $90 billion (on paper); is there a reason his company's software is used almost universally? is it possible his company is providing a Product that Fills a Need? if it's "needed," is the price too high? if the price is too high, why do people keep paying it? why do they keep paying it when there are cheaper, faster (as well as free) alternatives to Bill Gates' company's products? > We in the Uk at present quite happily buy > cars for example 17,000 and pay up quite happily when we know that > over the channel we can buy the same for 12,500. Well, I'm not sure I'd agree that that's very smart shopping. I wonder if the 36% difference there wouldn't be eaten up by the import duties and transportation costs if you, say, flew to Germany, picked up your Mercedes at the plant, and drove it through British customs. Maybe the price you cite includes all that, but the protectionist duties that countries charge are intended to protect each country's workers' wages ... and the profits of the capitalist investors in those workers' employers, too. All in all, to get back to stained glass, if an American company (or UK firm) is importing lamps that are lower in price than yours yet the quality is the same, you'll just have to find more efficient ways to produce your lamps so as to meet the competition's prices ... or take your lamps to a new (higher) level of excellence and quality so that those imported items are no longer competition with yours. And since those will be sold at K-mart and their ilk or in low-end gift shops, move your focus to high-end galleries and craft outlets. After all, being in business (and if you're making a living off your work, you're in business) is not a guarantee of success unless you're also flexible ... and creative.

If it's Capitalism per se that's troubling, then those who feel that way should perhaps be careful to charge no more for their lamps than the materials cost because ... well, you shouldn't "rip off" your customers by making a profit, nevermind that you'll be out of business in very short order and thus of no use to your customers when it comes to aftermarket service and support. Profit is good. Profit is necessary for survival, although I'm not saying that we should all be Gordon Gecko, either ... and perhaps that's what you're saying too: that there should be a *limit on the amount of profit one should make. I can't think of any glass artists or craftspeople who're suffering under an excess profit load, though. And exercises to "control" profit are both difficult and questionable. Okay, Bill Gates is worth $90 billion (on paper); is there a reason his company's software is used almost universally? is it possible his company is providing a Product that Fills a Need? if it's "needed," is the price too high? if the price is too high, why do people keep paying it? why do they keep paying it when there are cheaper, faster (as well as free) alternatives to Bill Gates' company's products? > We in the Uk at present quite happily buy > cars for example 17,000 and pay up quite happily when we know that > over the channel we can buy the same for 12,500. Well, I'm not sure I'd agree that that's very smart shopping. I wonder if the 36% difference there wouldn't be eaten up by the import duties and transportation costs if you, say, flew to Germany, picked up your Mercedes at the plant, and drove it through British customs. Maybe the price you cite includes all that, but the protectionist duties that countries charge are intended to protect each country's workers' wages ... and the profits of the capitalist investors in those workers' employers, too. All in all, to get back to stained glass, if an American company (or UK firm) is importing lamps that are lower in price than yours yet the quality is the same, you'll just have to find more efficient ways to produce your lamps so as to meet the competition's prices ... or take your lamps to a new (higher) level of excellence and quality so that those imported items are no longer competition with yours. And since those will be sold at K-mart and their ilk or in low-end gift shops, move your focus to high-end galleries and craft outlets. After all, being in business (and if you're making a living off your work, you're in business) is not a guarantee of success unless you're also flexible ... and creative.

I know of 7 Depends on how you define "manufacturer." I count 28 if I consider them a "primary" manufacturer, that is melting glass and forming it into sheets and such. But there are secondary manufacturers, too, who only treat the surface of the glass with, for example, dichroic metallic treatments. Oh, sorry: 28 in all ... 20 in the U.S. but I'm sure I don't know all of them outside the U.S. > re there alot of > little companies around, that only sell to a local area?

Springfield MA (funny to go to the fair grounds and not have it packed with people). This is the kind of show we go to for inspiration and get a few creative juices flowing. There generally isn't much stained glass at these things, but inspiration comes from many places. This year, we seemed drawn to a lot of the woodworking. There was stained glass in the form of Krauski Art Glass. (no Web page, as far as I can tell) They sand etch bevels and combine them with stained glass. Some of their big pices are most interesting. One technique they used effectively was to raise elements out of the plane of the background glass. It's not layered, just raised. One of the things that REALLY impressed me was the way they transported their glass. They make things in stock sizes (surrounding the blasted bevels), so they have wooden boxes built to hold a couple of rows of them. Padding rolls up and down, so they can stand the pieces between the padding. Open up the box, stand it on a table, hang the samples, Voila! exhibit! I left the program in the car (but had the Krauski card in my purse), so don't recall other names. There was a young woman who does glass mosaic...on anything! She said she likes to go tag saling (translation - yard sale, garage sale) to find things to cover. She had on display an old rotary phone and an old iron, both covered with glass quadrangles and glass blobs. She also covered several mailboxes.

I don't think it will hurt them, but you can always seal the rods with a couple of coats of clear lacquer (which will also preserve their coppery shine) if you're worried about it.

I dunno about anyone else, but I keep finding that "what goes together" is often largely a function of the style of the piece, where it's going to be displayed, the medium, etc. etc. I'm continually amazed by what really *does* go together depending on where and how it's used! (OTOH, there are a few notable exceptions to the "you can make almost anything go" rule........ f'rinstance, the next time my sweetie tries to go out the door wearing navy blue and black together, I think I'll shoot him! No, he's not color-blind, he just has some strange ideas........) For a terrific overview of the history of "what went together," see *Living Colors: The Definitive Guide to Color Palettes Through the Ages* by Margaret Walch (Chronicle Books, 1995). The book shows 80 examples of the uses of color "typical" of various time periods, parts of the world, or specific artists, with the corresponding palettes on "flip cards" ring-bound to the right-hand side of the cover so you can flip back and forth for easy comparison. I'm not sure I agree with all her palette choices based on the representative photos, but there's a lot here to look at and think about and maybe make you think twice about "whether that does or doesn't go." The book is kind of pricey - about $35, I think - but IMO it's worth it!

Got one for my sheriff son-in-law who is impossible to buy for. The store owner said if there was something you couldn't find, the artist would research the profession and create an angel for you.

The use of about 1/32 gum arabic is great for adhearing the unfired paint but not necessary with care. You can spend a lot of money on badger brushes and the finest sable brushes if you like. You can also use a sponge and blot the paint on the glass. A nice pointed tracing brush is a big help for making trace lines. You can also scratch a design in the dry paint before firing. Expermint to your hearts content before the books start to try to confuse you. Fire the paint before sealing between layers of glass. These paints are toxic and good hygine is necessary. ..............

Tracing blacks, browns can be fired at 1250*. Some of the colours do not transfer well and you will be disappointed. There is a nice blue D27-778(1250*) and the ruby transparent 1298A(1000-1150*) is nice too. The best way to get nice yellows is with silver stain, (Amber Stain H-465)(950-1050*) but there is a nice enamel Amber DL349 or D23-1176(1200*) that is much cheaper than the stains. The very best book is "The Art Of Painting On Glass" By Elskus. Greens do not turn out well for me. It is imperative that you first make a set of samples using the glass that you plan on using to get the concentration of paint and firing temperatures right. These are just suggestions for temperatures your mileage and kiln may vary. Mixing the paint well is very important and paint is always better if mixed up and let set a while and then re-worked before using. The smoother and finer the paint the better the finished product.

I use Glastar liquid flux also. I like it very much. I've used LACO but it "ate" the foil before my very eyes. When I use black patina or mixtures using black in the formula it always forms a haze when it dries. But the haze always clears up to a nice shine after the glass polishing process. I try to use only fresh batches of patina...if my bottles (should they ever last that long) go more than about 1 year I dump them and buy new. If the patina has been applied generously, and left for at least 20 minutes before washing, you should have no occurrance of the patina detaching itself from the solder. The dried excess comes off, but the chemicals that have bonded with the solder can't come away. The process of applying the patina from a bottled mix is actually a chemical plating process (as compared to an electroplating process..where electrodes are attached to the piece and it's dropped into a light bath of the metals that are desired to be deposited on the solder.) And just as with electroplating, it's necessary that the surfaces to be chemically plated are fresh and clean (no oils or other contaminants) and the chemicals being used are fresh. A hint on cleaning up flux: Frequently, when soldering a large window or a lampshade, it takes more than one day, (up to 3 days) for me to complete the soldering. Every couple of hours I clean up what I've done so the flux doesn't loosen foils or contaminate the fresh soldering job. Typically I flush the piece using the spray-can Glass Cleaner that's found at most SG suppliers. It's a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water (with some light non-oily fragrance). Or, use distilled (as in no city-water contaminants) water alone. Early on, when I used tap water, the salts (magnesium, zinc, iron, calcium) can attach themselves to the solder and later, when the patina liquid is applied, the patina is patchy and uneven. Oh - something else I learned from the solderers at the electronics company where I work...they use only distilled water (or deionized water) to moisten their solder sponges..and they rinse the sponges regularly. It's believed that the traces of metal salts that occur naturally in the city water (not to mention the residue of modern water treatment) can add to the early demise of the iron tip.

Cut the toes off about 2" up from the tip. Insert your hands into the socks from the toe end, until the elastic top is around your wrist. Arrange the sock comfortably to cover your forearms and elbows. 2) Flux brush keeper: A tubular travel toothbrush holder...it's about 8 inches long and about 1 inch in diameter. It comes apart in the middle into two sections....it's large enough to hold up to 4 flux brushes. It has ventilation holes at each end to allow air drying. Can usually be found at your local pharmacy. 3) Woodworker's forceps (or scientific forceps): straight tip and bent tip. These are usually around 6" long or longer, they're made of surgical steel and therefore don't heat up as fast as the solder and resist solder sticking. I use them when applying fine wires to pieces..14g and 16g wire suncacther flower stems etc etc. Hemostats are useful also tool because they can "lock" down on the wire.

Like Sparks, I hate lawyers, (even though my daughter in in Law School) However, when someone sets out to screw you, as it is apparent the customer here had done from the outset, you need to find the meanest, nastiest, ball - breaking son of a b---- lawyer you can find, and just put it to these people. Ask around for a "good" collections lawyer(the county or state bar might have lists of specialists). Since you figure the $'s are gone anyway, offer the nice collection lawyer man the following deal" If he collects the entire sum in 10 days, you'll give him 60% of the margin over your cost of materials, 50% in 20 days, 40% in 30 days, 30% in 60 days , and finally, 20% in 90 days, or whenever.These guys are usually very good with constant phone calls, repeated letters, and mose particularly, sharing the names of deadbeats with credit reporting agencies(you see, once one of these boys has it, your customer's account with you becomes a "collection account", and is reported thusly to the credit reporting people) a/k/a "If you can't get the bucks, go for the b-lls". That bulls---t those people gave you about different kinds of payments, based upon your type of business entity is enough to make one want to choke them. Better yet, if you live in the right kind of neighborhood, get hold of a local gorilla, you know the type, big, mean and ugly, and tell him that its worth 500 bucks and a nice window for his mother, if he gets your money for you. In other parts of the country, biker gangs are good for this purpose as well. In no case would I ever let these pr---s get away with screwing you. And to think, I was once an angry person.

The study of nearly 25,000 people found that those with high levels of lead in their blood were more likely to have cavities than their counterparts with lower blood levels of lead. The findings, published in Wednesday's issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, indicate that approximately 2.7 million excess cases of dental caries (cavities) in older children and adolescents may be related to environmental lead exposure. Tooth decay and dental caries are an important public health problem. By age 17, 84% of US adolescents have experienced tooth decay in their permanent teeth, involving an average of eight tooth surfaces. The annual treatment costs for dental caries in the United States are estimated to be at least $4.5 billion. The new study does not definitively show that lead exposure causes cavities or how it may do so but if it is proved that environmental lead exposure causes dental caries, "it would have important implications concerning the need to broaden the focus of health interventions for dental caries beyond modifying dietary habits, improving personal oral hygiene behaviors, and increasing fluoride exposure in high-risk groups," conclude Dr. Mark E. Moss of the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in Rochester, New York, and colleagues. The researchers point out that disadvantaged children and adults are known to have higher rates of cavities than their wealthier counterparts. "The results of the present analyses suggest that environmental lead exposure may explain, at least in part, the disproportionately high rate of dental caries among disadvantaged children and adolescents," according to the report. To arrive at their findings, Moss and colleagues compared findings from dental examinations with blood lead levels among 24,901 people aged 2 and older. Elevated blood lead levels were associated with risk of cavities in baby and permanent teeth in all age groups, the study found. Among children aged 5 to 17, a 5 microgram per deciliter of blood increase in blood lead level was associated with an 80% higher risk of tooth decay. Researchers estimate that 13.5% of tooth decay among 5 to 17 year olds is attributable to high levels of lead exposure and 9.6% of the tooth decay is attributable to moderate levels of lead exposure. While previous studies have linked lead exposure to cavities in animals, this is the first study to identify such a link in humans. In an editorial accompanying the study, Dr. Thomas D. Matte of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, writes that "by focusing prevention efforts on vulnerable populations exposed to immediate lead hazards, progress toward the virtual eradication of childhood lead toxicity can be greatly accelerated."

But I am not discouraged, because I do have some wine, and I am wanting to play, as Bob suggested, now!<< Gum arabic comes in a powder form and if kept dry should last a very long time. I think it comes from the bark of a tree that grows in Africa. You MIGHT find that Knots Gelatine (used to thicken things like home made Jello) works too. To the best of my knowledge there are three components that make up glass paint to be fired: a. the pigment composed of metal oxides that fire into the glass, b. the carrier that is the liquid component that allows the pigment to be spread, and c. the binder (like gum arabic) that sticks the dry pigment to the glass. Wine being slightly stickey can serve for b and c. The small amount of wine residue should burn off without trace. I recommend that you expermint with different types of wine every day for a month. Promptly dispose of any wine left over from painting. Corked wine should never be returned to the refrigiator. Screw cap wine has the advantage of being easier and quicker to open. As with corked wine it should be promptly disposed of after or even while painting. ...............

You do bring up some thoughts on the proper use of wine in glass painting. I, for one, think that expensive French wines are best used with imported antique glass. On the other end of the scale one could used a screw cap California wine for Spectrum and Bullseye might rate a corked upper New York State wine. I am sure that few will agree with my exact ranking but the general idea holds. Just make sure the wine is freshly opened at every painting session. ...........

Today, a friend that works at a company that makes color filters for theaters gave me some more dichronic, this batch is yellow/red-yellow looking through at light, blue/blue purple in reflected light, the sheets (about 20) are 8"x8" and a few 8"x20", all of them are what looks like 1/8". They are what he calls the dummy panels that they use to setup the machine that puts the coating on the glass panels for the main production run's. I am getting a pretty large pile of sheets and wondering just what kind of project this kind of glass would be good in. Just for grin's (or is that frown's), what does a glass torch setup cost???
