I think I might be buying a different line of tools

[Scott Coffelt]

The SWMBO and I attended a class on glass fusing. I can see some real cool ideas of integrating into furniture pieces. I also plan to take a class on stain glass in the near future. Anyway, we did this and may be hooked. I figure to get us going it will cost about $700-$800 in tools and basic supplies. Of course there is the glass on top of that which can cost you as much if not more then some woods out there. The good thing is some of the tools can be used for both glass fusing and stain glass. Here is a 6x6 clock I made on my first attempt. I didn't realize it at the time, but I had reversed the glass on a couple of pieces so the true color would up showing out the back.

Very interesting, Scott. Good luck.

Hi Scott,

Nice first piece of glass. Several years ago I spend a lot of time helping in a glass gallery. Glass is an awesome medium. Check out making marbles and beads. Even if its not your thing it is neat to watch.

Have fun in your new addiction.

LOML started making glass beads about a year ago and took over my O2 bottle. She soon found out that in order to keep the finnished bead from cracking, she needed a kiln. Her tools rival mine $$ wise!
