Inland Glass Grinder Review of all 3 Grinders
Simple and easy. As long as it is compatible the cost must be much less.
Yes for sure, make sure you are using the same COE and keep them separated if you are using multiple COE's and label them. Thanks for watching.
I noticed you had gloves on the table. Do you normally wear gloves? I need to find a good pair of gloves to wear when I’m scoring and working with glass. I scored a piece of glass and it flipped up in the air and flew into my knuckle with force. Not only did it slice into my knuckle, but it cut off my skin. I was able to save the skin by flipping it back over. Long story short the emergency room doctor did not do an ultrasound and glued the cut together and put a mesh on it. The gluing and meshing of my knuckle was the wrong thing to do. Four months later I was still in severe pain and could not completely close my finger to a fist. I had to have finger surgery because there was a piece of glass embedded in my tendon. I have been cut and had shards in my fingers and hands many times. But after this incident, I am a little afraid, not to wear gloves. Even though it was a freak accident. The hand surgeon said I got very lucky that it did through my tendon.
So sorry to hear that you got injured. I take safety in the workplace very seriously. I usually purchase them from a tool or safety supply company. There are different sizes and colors available. They have a grippy side on the palm side. Best of luck. I hope you are still doing glass work. Thank you for watching
squeeze the bottles when filling them. that way there's no to little air that can't escape 👍
Thanks for the suggestion. I will try it next time I make a bottle. Thanks for watching.
Wonderful, thank you so much for sharing. It always amazes me how the Aloe doesn't seem to affect the end result. Thanks!
You are very welcome. Seems to burn out very clean. A great carrier. Thanks, for watching.
Great idea, thanks!
Thank you. Thanks for watching.
Very cool option when you dont have the right enamels on hand. Thank you!
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.
Great idea! Thank you
Your welcome.thanks for watching.
You need a pipe swagging tool.
Lol. I like a good workout.
No at all happy with it. Has a haze in the underside of the glass that cannot be removed.
Sorry to hear that. I use Bullseye Thinfire. Have to vacuum it up each firing but works the best. I have some old Papyros that I keep for specific projects. Wear a mask and goggles when you clean up the Bullseye ThinFire as well as any shelf paper. Safety first.
For k4 it should rock up automatically.😮😮😮
This must be for someone else.
Does it matter what the chopsticks are made out of? thank you...
Hi, I used plastic chopsticks. I wouldn't use wood as it will rot.
HA! Good point. Thank you!@@cobaltglasscustomworks6481
Do the molds come with a recommendation for the weight for each heart? I know you indicated that you weighed out 31 grams, but how was this determined. Thanks for the great video.
Hi, they did come with the weights. You can also find the information on the Creative Paradise website. Just enter LF 241 in the search bar, and it's in the item description. I write the fill weights on the bottom of the molds with a silver sharpie. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Fab video with clear instrustion, thanks so much.
Thank you so much, and thanks for watching.
Thank you for this video! Im amused by little things sometimes so i couldnt help but notice the Lake Michigan shaped black spot that the big middle petal pattern is pointing to.
Lol. Never noticed. Thanks for watching.
Where did you get the thick plastic bags, and what mil are they? Thanks, in advance. Love your videos, btw!
They are a heavy-duty zipper bag. I usually save them when I order something that uses them for packaging. There are places like Uline, or you can try to Google heavy-duty zipper bags. You can also double or tripple up freezer bags. They are somewhat strong. The glass cuts up the bags quickly so you need to have a few on hand. Thanks for watching and liking my videos. I greatly appreciate it.
Hi, I use 2 kilns, the one I use for my casting molds and smaller loads is a Cone Art B3K 115G SQ. I have a couple videos of it on my channel you can view. The larger kiln is a Skutt GM1414. Thanks for watching.
Which kiln do u use if i may pls?
So many ways to make your own frit. Never seen this way before. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.
Where do you purchase the black chopsticks?
They are available on Amazon and at other various home stores.
Hello! I give you the biggest like in the world (the size of Everest!) I wish you great success in promoting your creativity! With a friendly smile, Mr.Hi! :)
Thank you. I greatly appreciate your comment.
@@cobaltglasscustomworks6481You are welcome! An ocean of inspiration for you creative soul!
Nice tip on the grid base
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video. I will see what I can do about the volume for future videos. Now you can stock up on Chopsticks again, Lol.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos, I had a tough time hearing you on this one, but I could obviously see what you were doing. Wonderful idea too! Wouldn't you know, I had a collection of at least 100 unwrapped chopsticks from a restaurant we go to and I had no idea what to do with them after a couple of years, so I tossed them!😡 I like your chopsticks better. Thank you so much for the fun and simple idea, they look beautiful! ❣
Your welcome. Thanks for watching.
Great idea. Thank you!
I have an older version but this was a great video as I didn't know there was a sponge in the bottom. I don't think my top tilts or comes off but I'm going to go look at it as it's been a long time now since I've used it. Thank you!
Good idea to see if they are the same. Would be interesting to know if they are. Thanks for watching.
Promo-SM
No Promo, I purchased these from the maker to use in the Glasswork I create. I asked them for permission to post them on my channel.
Watching your video wondering up to what thickness will. This saw comfortable cut
Thanks for watching. I have cut 1/4" glass no problem. It's a great little saw.
Thanks for the video. You're right handed, would be better to have the camera on the left then your hand wouldn't get in the way so much.
Sorry about that. Remember that for next time.
Thank you.

I’m new to this. Is a microwave kiln any good? Can you put glass on tin in the kiln?where do you get fiber paper? How long does fiber appear LAST?
Hi, I have never tried a microwave kiln. I know they are quite small and used mainly for jewelry. No, you can not use tin, Stainless steel is recommed for slumping molds. Kiln paper is available at a stained glass/fusing supply store. Fiber paper now usually lasts 1 firing. Depending on what you are firing, you May get a couple of uses as long as it's in good shape and not disturbed. Always wear a mask and goggles when working with kiln paper that has been fired. Surgical type gloves are good as well to wear. Safety first. Always do your research, hope that helps.
What kind of lubricant did you use?
Hi, I use Permatex anti seize lubricant. You can also get lubricant from Inland Craft.
The motor shaft on your Wizling seems to be higher than what mine is. How far above the work surface does the motor shaft extend? Thanks
Hi, thanks for the question. The motor shaft extends 1 inch above the work surface. Hope that helps.
It might be the red shipping cap on the motor shaft that appears taller. That gets removed before placing the bit in place..
Did you do a follow-up video showing how you used the hearts for Plant Stakes?
Hi Sorry I have not yet. Thank you for reminding me.
I don't see the final outcome of the heart project yet... is there a link to it?
Would you have a good firepolish sched. pls ?
My kiln will be different from yours. So you will have to experiment. Around 1200°F on mine. Any hotter seems to lose definition.
How come my bottom blade does not line up right what can I do to fix this
I would check that the top and bottom pully bands are in good shape.
@@cobaltglasscustomworks6481 it's a brand new machine
Is it possible the bottom wheel isn't lined up right
@cecelianichols6250 that could be possible if there is a bad bearing in the pully. May best contact Gryphon. The nice thing is that the parts are available for these machines.
Thanks for your great advice on the how’s & whys of ZYP and emptying molds!
Your very welcome. Thank you for taking the time to watch my video.
Great way to make frit!
Thank you
What firing schedule did you use
I use a full fuse schedule.
Thanks for sharing…
You're welcome, thanks for watching.
Very nice thanks
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful!
Thank you.
Jamaison Schuler has had tutorials on this paper problems. So new paper is not good for any of us!!!
I have seen his tutorials as well. It seems to be a problem for me. Others may or may not have luck. These are my findings. I have tried the Bullseye ThinFire and have been happy so far. I would suggest trying a sheet or 2 of the new Papyrus paper before investing in a large roll like I did. I have not seen anywhere about the changing of the Papyrus formulation.
Great tutorial!! Thank you!!!
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching.
Great tutorial! TY!!! What is the ratio of vinegar to alcohol to water?
Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos. I appreciate the positive feedback. The ratio I use is 1:1:1. Hope that helps.
Truly Appreciate You For Sharing this Information.. I am learning about Fuzed Glass.. I bought a Large Microwave Burner..
My pleasure. Whatever I can do to help. Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos. All the best with your fusing journey.
Would you please consider doing a full-on comparison of Papyros versus Bullseye Thin Fire shelf papers, to include cost comparisons, feel, results of comparable projects fired on each paper, and number of uses you can expect to get out of each paper? In other words, what are the pros and cons of working with each brand of shelf paper? For example, I've had BE Thin Fire curl up on the edges when I'm fusing lightweight items like dots, which potentially rolls them over onto other dots, resulting in fused blobs, and I've had Papyros leave residue on the backs of darker colored dot at times; Thin Fire results in less texture being left on the backs of pieces, while Papyros leaves a bit more texture, but can people really tell the difference? To be honest, I thought that's where this video was. going when I saw the three pieces of shelf paper lined up, and it was labeled a comparison. While this video was nicely done, I think your followers might might appreciate your findings after some side-by-side testing. Just an idea to expand upon your ideas here, since I've enjoyed your other videos .
Hi, thank you for the feedback. I will definitely see what I can do. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and post your comment.
The hearts are lovely, it was interesting to watch and hear about this craft. Do you have a website? Do you sell your work?
Hi, and thank you for taking the time to watch my videos. My website is currently under construction. Yes, I do sell my work. Depending on where ypur located, I can ship items.
@@cobaltglasscustomworks6481 Thank you for your reply, I am in So Cal. Not sure if I would be able to afford your work, but I would love to see your website, once you have completed construction.
@sherylstock8687 No problem. I can send you a message when it's ready. If I can figure out how to do that. Lol.
Thank you for this great informational video!! I noticed you saying you make some of your own frit. Would you please do a video on the process you use to make frit? Thank you for your consideration. And your videos.
Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos. I will certainly make a video showing the process I use to make frit.
