    Re: moldavite - ?

    Crazy I just found this old thread. I have a current student who is working with moldavite, and she enlightened me to the fact that pricing is through the roof on this stuff. Anybody sitting on a...

    Re: cups and goblets

    I think punti to the bottom while finishing the lip makes a lot of sense still, and the trick as best I can tell is to flash that cup like a mother, hot and often. Skip a flash and it cracks. I'm...

    Re: Your Graphite Connection

    Got grab bags left and ready to go? I'm looking for some chunks for a few little tool making projects around the shop. Need at least a 4"x4"x1" piece and some stuff that's a bit thicker, like...

    For Sale: Re: GIANT TOOLS! And old torches

    Wow, I love the look of those claws! From your experience, would you say that they would hold a beer bottle securely? How about a 22 oz bottle? I work with full size beer bottles in the torch, and...

    I prefer a pair of jacks for that, but have been using a dinky graphite reamer recently. Considering a Mickelson egg, but my next big purchase will be jacks and proper shears.

    Re: Glass Alchemy Sale

    I've always thought this was a slightly weird practice, but chalked it up to the fact that they don't create as many odd or off round rods during the year as other companies, so therefore don't have...

    Re: Random Corning question

    Just take a walk down Market St (the main st.) and you'll have many options. I like Storges for Italian food. Good burgers too and pretty cheap if I remember right. The Gaffer is good if you want...
  15. Re: Issue of trust: using expanded stainless steel sheet in kiln??

    Yeah, not a problem. Only issue is if it's galvanized or coated in any way. You wouldn't want to put that in a kiln for fume issues, but if it's stainless, it's probably not galvanized.

    Re: new? graphite V tool idea

    Am I right in thinking that if you are wearing out a metal necking tool or getting residue, you're going onto the tool way too hot? I mean, shouldn't that not even be an issue. Metal residue?!?...

    Re: new? graphite V tool idea

    I, for one, like the idea. The illustration doesn't quite show the angles that the u-channel would have to be mounted at, but that's a minor detail. It looks to me that the way it is drawn would...

    Diamond bit is probably the way to go. Like greymatter said, a quality bit is not going to wear out on you.

    Interestingly, I have a good friend who recently told me about a new way to drill...
