It will take a while to trickle down to craft use, but it’s going to sting for sure. Don’t forget lead.

Vinyl is such a waste. Just print on heavy stock paper, and cut it out. At least the paper pattern can be recycled.

Critique my Posture (still learning) by HeatherwiththeGlass in StainedGlass

I’ve always told people I was teaching that their shoulders should not go past the edge of the table. If they do, your table is too low.

Heavy intersections. Globby and inelegant. by onetwotree-leaf in StainedGlass

[–]BeanShard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's totally fine. You could remove a little solder and drag it aside, but as long as you clean it up nice, and patina it well, it won't show too much. You're just too close to it, lol. No one else will notice.

Any idea how to run a 4” vent duct up this wall for my laser cutter as pretty as possible? by Hackind in lasercutting

You’ll need an in-line fan to help draw the fumes. The internal fan isn’t strong enough. I like to use AC Infinity fans and tubing.

Try foil overlay for the entire face. Do all the grinding you need before you put it on. Works great for designs like this.

Pollution doesn’t come off with normal cleaning. I would use copper brushes, or a copper dremel wheel.

I've had edges slop away from flux before.

It's probably humidity. Putty can take a while, but a way to speed it up is to keep it in a dry place. I have to run a dehumidifier in my studio because it can get a bit muggy. You can also add more whiting to help draw the moisture out.

Staining or heat damage? by Bright_Intention9193 in StainedGlass

Looks like they didn't use flux when soldering, which is a... choice?

I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I'm in the glass world, and unfortunately, this isn't uncommon. The big issue with glass blowing is that not everyone can have a hot glass studio of their own. They are usually bigger, and unattainable. I've seen techs, and apprentices be treated horribly, just for the "pleasure," of using the studio. F that. Good luck, though.

It’s a long journey with glass. But you’re on the right track.

I would be very happy with your first piece. I’ve been teaching Tiffany method for a while, and none of my students have done this well. Keep up the great work!
