Bio

I'm an accidental artist. What started 30 years ago because I wanted to make something cool out of an old window sash has become a passion and I enjoy exploring all kinds of new aspects of working with glass.

Miracle Fiber, September 24, 2022 5 stars
Pros
Easy to Use Creates great texture No mess/No Fuss		 Cons
Creates a texture and shows seams, so that has to be a desired results		 Other Thoughts
I just started playing with this amazing materials about a month ago. Makes working with the kiln to "cook" glass so easy. Great for newbies who want to get started but don't care that one size will pickup the mat texture.

A consistent useful purchase, September 2, 2022 4 stars
Pros
Easy to install Good Customer Support Easy to use		 Cons
Doesn't have some updated bevel patterns to use.		 Other Thoughts
I've used this software about 10 times to imagineer my own window patterns. I find it easy to use, had great tutorials to help me learn it, and the dude who is customer support was nice and answered my questions politely and in a timely manner.

Great results so far, May 20, 2022 5 stars
Pros
Super easy to use Great results with minimal fuss		 Cons
None so far		 Other Thoughts
I've had this kiln for about 9 months now and just started firing it up in my studio when I got an electrical upgrade. I'm a total novice to fusing/slumping but the computer interface on this is super simple and even I could figure it out. 3 projects done and it's working great. Comes with loads of presets to tack/fuse/slump 90 and 96 COE glass.

Works well - a little fiddly, May 17, 2022 4 stars

Holds up through winter, September 22, 2021 5 stars
Pros
Ideal for 14" round mold with no measuring Sets up fast Works as described		 Cons
 Other Thoughts
I gave up making stepping stones for a bit because of durability issues with the stones (diamondcrete) 10 years ago. This stuff seems better and when coated after 30 days with concrete sealer, they have lasted so far through 2 winters without cracking.

I can't believe I didn't think of buying this soon, May 11, 2021 5 stars
Pros
Easy to Use Frees your hands for work		 Cons
Slight time delay between pressing and activation		 Other Thoughts
I can't believe it took me decades to figure out I needed to buy one of these. This makes grinding glass so much easier and hastle free. I just walk up to the grinder with glass in hand, step on the pedal as I walk up, and by the time the glass hits to work surface it's at full RPM. Highly recommend!
