    Second stained glass window

    My neighbour saw my first stained glass window pen and wanted to buy something similar for the local minister's wife, but I only had a couple of hours to make it. The tube was just glued in with CA to save time and one end blew just as I was finishing turning. Both ends were turned off and...

    Glass clear resin

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the best/cheapest glass clear resin for pen blank making. I've been using GlassCast 50 Epoxy resin from Easy Composites which works well, has no smell but is quite expensive. Cheers...Neil

    Stained Glass Too

    About 25 years ago I taught myself how to do stained glass. Made many panels, mostly for my house and family members. Still have the equipment and lots of glass, so every once in a while I make up something like this transom piece. I can put it for sale in my friend's antique booth. I already...

    Glass Zeta !!

    I have a friend who makes leaded glass decorations and wondered what if .... So I got some of her off cuts and a tube in mold, painted the tube silver as I thought this would reflect the glass. Then cast it in Polyester Resin. Now those of you who struggle to turn PR, you should try it with...

    Giving up the spinning

    Well, I’ve decided not to resurrect the workshop and give up on woodturning to concentrate on glass fusion. The future workshop boat is only big enough for on hobby or the other and I’m basically feeling guilty because the wife wanted to do the glass fusion, and so did I, so when we realised the...

    Wooden pen box

    I have a commission for a matching Mistral fountain pen and ballpoint, which I want to present in a nice box. Any recommendations? Most of the boxes available from the usual sources won't take the fountain pen. I have seen a wooden box with a glass panel in the lid somewhere but I can't find it...

    Recycled wine bottle into glass (and fixed a spoon)

    I have been experimenting with cutting wine bottles so I can make them into wine glass'. I then turn a simple bottom. These are the first ones of the lathe and no I am not happy with them yet but I can see the potential. Other ideas I have are to make desk lamps and with the bottom of the wine...

    Rosewood Cocobolo Double ender.

    I started off with the intention of hexing, gave that up cause judging is by us and we all know each others different work. I enter to support the forum only. Enjoyed making this pen.
