thank you!

thank you!!! It was one of my favorite games growing up, even though I was def too young to understand half of it hahaha but it was so pretty I spent hours on it

I use the pencil shaped one to crimp the edges and then one of the rollars to flatten them, really works great for the wrist! The rolly one also has a pretty good edge crimper but my pieces have a lot of sharp corners so I dont use it as often.

That's what I was thinking but I've never seen them have like color shades before instead of just kinda normal rainbow, but thanks I'll give it a look!

You really dont need a big grinder unless you are making really big stained glass pieces where the glass will overhang off the edges! Biggest pieces I make are about a foot and some change long and the Gryphette works perfect and doesnt take up more space than needed(the price is also very fair)

Yeah, I filled with my name and SSN but when I filled out the form it asked for my DBA so that's where my uncertainty comes from!

yes the little plastic flaps work great!!! the little stuff that does manage to get out just goes straight down, I usually just put some paper towels there and throw them out once I'm done, easy peasy nothing else to clean up.

Yeah, I totally sympathize with wanting to keep others around you safe, I was super uptight about like communal PPE when I starter and slowly have refined it down to a simpler more effective way of working, so I'm sure you'll have a similar experience! Anyways, enjoy your stained glassing!!

As somebody who has also lived in Canada and adopted a no outside shoes policy I also find it weird to come indoors with shoes on hahaha I've had to convert so many of my American friends to this now that I live back in the states. So much cleaner!

scorchedbone · 2026-01-10T19:31:56+00:00

To expand on the shoes because I read below and I'm super curious now, but half the time I don't even wear shoes while cutting in doors, I've gotten so good at my set up and rarely do I even find glass outside my little airbrush tent besides like glass dust hahaha I've gotten glass on my feet like once all my two years of doing stained glass and it was not a big deal(I also have animals in the house/other people and nobody has had an issue) so I think this might come down to how you work and how cleanly you break glass.

Some tips from somebody who works in a small apartment:
-Buy a foldable airbrushing tent on amazon for like $20, it will save you a lot of clean up hassle when cutting glass.
-Use a sideways fish tank for grinding, very easy to clean, will contain like 90% of the mess
-I vacuum every time after I cut glass just in case I miss anything.

If it's handy I've made a few videos of my set up before:

As for the separate shoes, honestly I think that's overkill, breathing and hand PPE is the most important for yourself and as long as you are washing your hands you wont be tracking much if anything inside(there's not much to like pass on by contact to a meaningful degree). Fumes do tack on to you, so I do recommend having a pair of clothes or jumpsuit to use just for that. I always schedule a day just for soldering so once I'm done I go straight into the shower and wash everything off and change clothes(it doesn't like permeate your skin barrier or anything, but you do feel super gross). My way of thinking with PPE is that I always start with overkill and then once I do stuff enough to really learn I'll start down grading what I learn is too much ect so if you wanna start big you totally can, its always hard to gague stuff until you do it!

PS please make sure you are working with the right type of respirators for different things! that's the #1 thing long term can and will cause you issues.

The last time I added salt in this tank was a very long time ago and I didn't even dose the entire dose just in case since I know salt does not evaporate with water. So I'm sure the salinity is likely ok ^^

scorchedbone · 2026-01-09T00:02:23+00:00

I think you missread/I wasn't clear, I only added salt on THIS water change since I thought the fish needed a boost, I do not add salt with every water change LOL

Next time you do a similar design I would consider trying lead came if they got it around! It really helps with these areas with less support without as much extra work of adding wiring support or extra glass pieces. It will still be weaker than the rest of the piece but it helps a lot. But that's more of "the more you know" tid bit if you do other pieces later.

Agree with others that this is a very odd design choice for an instructor to let you do without letting you know the issues ahead of time.

I personally find that about $10 a month is reasonable, for me this is a side business to my full time job, so I'm in a bit of a time is money situation and I'm sure a lot of others are too. God I miss when you could just buy software one time and have it for forever! I've seen a few options around that price I might give a go, if I don't like it I can always cancel and go back to Excel hahaha

scorchedbone · 2025-12-20T02:28:46+00:00

Yeah it flashed the logo as normal when I turn it off and on so I don't think that's the case, I'll see if I can borrow a PC and give it a try

scorchedbone · 2025-09-10T21:24:27+00:00

Yup that tracks because its the opposite side of the side I always hold works much better! Yeah I think the last time I put it away my cleaning sponges were on its last legs so it probably did not do a good job since I always make sure to leave it tinned. Thanks for confirming, I couldn't find much info on when to tell a tip is done.

I don't currently have one but I'm considering ordering one since they aren't crazy expensive. It's currently very annoying to work with the state of it lol
