Pros
As always, Bullseye glass is gorgeous! This streaky in cobalt blue fires to a deep blue with swirls and layers of clear. It is truly beautiful. I use it in my fused glass work creating earrings, pendants and plateware, but I'm sure it would be great for any number of applications, especially stained glass.

Cons
No cons to this one.

Other Thoughts

Pros
Lovely shape,and nice deep groves.

Cons
I am new to cutting glass and the shape is a little hard to cut.

Other Thoughts
I am sure once I get the cutting part down, everyone in my family is going to have a soap dish to match the colors of there bathrooms.

Pros
For those of us with very little space to work in, items like this are a great buy. Not to mention that they are less costly than getting 2 sets of shears.

Cons
Since these don't come in a case, it's a good idea to pick up a case or organizer so your other shear half doesn't wander off.

Other Thoughts

Pros
I got this grinder as a gift and it's really the best I've ever used. More uses than many other grinders in the same price range. The flat disk is perfect for ensuring your boxes fit together flawlessly and it also makes those strait strips level with very little effort.

Cons
No cons to speak of.

Other Thoughts
Comes with an AWESOME warranty. The disk and bit run at the same time, so there's no need to switch between the two. This really is a grinder that does it all, perfect for the home hobbiest and a great value.

Pros
These blocks are super easy to use and ensure you never have a crooked piece again.

Cons
Obviously only work for square panels. I wish they made some adjustable round blocks.

Other Thoughts
It's worth the money to get some of the additional bundles for those really big projects.

Pros
Great grinder. I use it all the time.

Cons
When I need to switch from using the router bit to the disc, I find I need to either turn the grinder box 180 degrees or take off the router bit so that I can turn the top platform around. Would be nice if was easier to switch between the 2.

Other Thoughts

Pros
This glass is great. It is a basic staple in the color pallet. I use it layered under most of my transparent glasses to make them pop.

Cons
No negatives I can think of here.

Other Thoughts

Pros
Can make beautiful beads and is great for beginners.

Cons
Once you discover flameworking glass is for you, will need to upgrade to do more advance techniques or to use reduction glasses.

Other Thoughts
Perfect for beginners to try flameworking without a huge investment.

Pros
This is a nice variety of pieces, of similar shapes and usable colors! We will look forward to working with it!

Cons
none

Other Thoughts

Pros
Gladstar good quality product. Long lasting.

Cons
Don't see any.

Other Thoughts

Pros
Good quality, lasts long for many cuts. More artistic than glue on bails when using this groove maker with wire.

Cons
None that I can see.

Other Thoughts
Customers like the wire wrapped around the glass cabs better than glue on bails.

Pros
You have to have this with the Morton cutting system. If you follow the written instructions, it's very easy to cut your pieces consistently and easily.

Cons
the audio CD--who uses these anymore? They need to get a little techno-savvy and include a DVD for the computer.

Other Thoughts

Pros
This was my very first kiln. It didn't take me long to out grow it, but it gave me a real taste of glass fusing. Even though I'm moving up to the Delphi 15x6 kiln, I will likely still use this kiln for compatibility testing. The glass that comes with the kiln is great for starting up too! I would order more shelf paper though - you will run out quickly!

Cons
It's very, very small. You can't make more than a pendant at a time. Earrings are a little better, but the kiln doesn't always heat evenly. Also, if you have an explosion (which is inevitable) glass will eat away at the kiln floor, making it difficult to fuse on.

Other Thoughts
In order to use this kiln properly, you need a microwave that heats evenly. You also need to be able to experiment. Glass will shatter and break a lot if you don't learn how to use your microwave's power settings! I cook everything for twice as long as is specified in the guide at half power.

Pros
Wonderful color to mix. I had great results.

Cons
Alone, yeah, not great.
