Bio

We are a two person shop. I do the creating and my wife does everything else. I started doing Stained Glass at the end of 2009 on a whim and have taught myself to work with glass through reading, mistakes and successes. Nature provides an endless supply of subjects for projects so I constantly have ideas for projects. Look around at the completed projects; I hope they will brighten your day just a little.

Omni-2 Plus Wire Saw

Omni-2 Plus Wire Saw

Omni wire saw, August 30, 2010 5 stars
Pros
This saw cuts in any direction as claimed. The blades last for quite awhile and are real inexpensive to replace. Over all I'm quite happy with my purchase of this saw.
Cons
The chucks are made out of nylon and need to be tightened with care. you also need to make sure that the blades are seated properly in the chuck. It comes with an extra chuck but I would suggest that you get some spares which are very inexpensive.
Other Thoughts
Others have complained about the noise when using the saw but I don't think it is any worse than any power tool. As for the water that runs over the table, I found a tray like you get in a cafeteria and the saw in it to contain the water works great.

Van Gogh glass, August 30, 2010 1 stars
Pros
unique foil pattern.
Cons
I can't really recommend this glass to anyone. The color is in the foil laminated to clear glass. It has to be handled very gently. the foil is very easy to scrape off and has to be ground and cut with a saw with the glass down. I was very disappointed with the glass.
