Product Reviews
Pros
I also have a 15/6 kiln. The impression is great. I also got the Green Man and both were great.
Cons
I think on both I would have liked to see the design placed at an angle so that when hung the corners were compass points.
Other Thoughts
Haven't tried adding frit for additional color yet.
Pros
I layered a piece of cathedral green over clear. You do need the extra thickness. The impression came out perfectly!!!!
Cons
None,

Pros
Small, price is right. I bought the beetle bits cutting system, so grinding was minimal, as that system rocks. When I did have to grind, this grinder was powerful enough to do what it's supposed to do. While the table surface area is small 8 x 8, It certainly large enough to accommodate what I was doing. I really can't see where a giant table is needed for stained glass, but I'm sure there's someone out there that needs it larger.
Cons
Some water does spray off into the surrounding area. While I call this a con, that doesn't bother me. I'm not working on the dining room table. Any grinder with a water feed is going to spray water, and shields are helpful, but never do they contain all the spray. A towel spread out with the grinder on top is sufficient.

Pros
I'm a cabinet maker who had to make leaded glass mission style panels. Geometric by design with similar dimensions. 60 pieces each door panel. As this was a one time request from a client, I didn't want to invest in hundreds of dollars in tools, and was trying to keep it simple and cheap. I'm always looking for a new skill to add to my repertoire, and leaded glass was one of them. After contemplating the number of cuts, I splurged and bought this system, and really glad I did. My panels came out BEAUTIFULLY!!!! 4 identical panels, thanks to this system. My soldering technique??? Well, the 4th panel looks the best. Directions do stink, but this is not Rocket Surgery. While I still don't know what I'm doing, this tool certainly makes me appear like I know what I'm doing. I still have thousands of questions regarding stained glass, but not about this system. It's worth it. There are no cons.

Pros
Worth every penny I paid for it! Sharp and easy on the hand when using it. The guard keeps chips from flying and directs them into container.

The directions are in German with no translation. I'd like to know how to change the wheels if they are available.
Pros
They do work great with the smaller bails. I also like to use them for displaying my jewelry.
Cons
2 of the 6 necklaces, the clasp wouldn't work.
Other Thoughts
Pros
So many colors available in small jewelry sized pieces, also nice shading. Acid etches well.
Cons
Each piece is different so be flexible, some areas may be dark...but you can grind or etch these areas and add mica colors!
Other Thoughts
Every piece is different...so have fun with it. Brighten up dark areas with mica (on the glass base) or with liquid gold.
Pros
very pretty. Nice piece with lots of fruit and stringer. Also I have found this type of clear glass, makes an excellent clear cap in fusing. So the clear parts can be used.
Cons
Kind of heavy, thick, a thinner version would be nice.
