Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Jeff. You can see your shake, I shake internally & it feels like a constant top moving. We all enjoy your videos, keep them coming!
Mr. Jeff, do not apologize for the shaking, we ALL have our challenges, at least I do. I like the organic feel of your clock, colors aren't my cup of tea yet I'm certain they are for the right person. I particurally appreciated you sharing how to assembly the clock mechanisms (stems are always too short and not sure if there is a way to extend them)...I ALWAYS mess it up. Take care of YOU nd thank you for everything!
A fun video. I enjoyed your sense of humor as you went along. Half a second before you spoke it, i thought "Well ...... somebody will love it." And then you said it and i just chuckled. Putting the powder and frit directly onto the thinfire is a technique new to me so i'm ever so glad that you shared this technique. On my own, i never would have thought about trying this. Thank you so much for your video, Jeff. It's always neat to learn new things.
Thanks so much for showing us this technique. I’ve always wanted to make a fused glass clock but was intimidated by the gadget side of it. You make it look doable and successful. I also love the tip about frit and powders going straight onto thin fire!
Hi Melissa. I have to thank Rosalind for putting me onto that. I always thought the Thinfire fibres would get caught up in the frit, but surprisingly, it doesn't.
Absolutely loved this Jeff! Would never have thought of frit straight onto the thin fire paper. I guess the main benefit here is less weight when hanging the clock? Cheers
Hi Ed. Yes, plus the fact you get a nice polish on the front and a pattern on the back in one fuse. Fuse it with frit on top and you get a textured finish on bottom, and you have to turn over and fire again to get that polish.
Thank you .I was interested to view the aspect of fusing the glass. When we visited Canada a few years ago we acquired several fused glass pieces portraying scenery pictures which I find very enlightening. Congratulations
It is also possible to use the same technique in straight kiln carving. Cut the fibre paper in the shapes you desire. Sprinkle glass powder over the pieces of fibre paper. Then place the sheet glass ( light colours work best) over the fibre paper covered with the powder and fuse.
Hi Rosalind. Your previous comment to that kiln carving video is what inspired me to try this, which at the time is what I thought you meant. Though this isn't kiln carving. That'll be on the list for some time. 😀👍
Love to see a nother attempt...its not my color choice but I love the ideer. I am trying to making clocks out of glass a while now (some tools are stil missing so it got stuck) thank you for sharing. I wish I culd have a kiln! Can the clockholder hold the waight of the glass? Or do you use someother material for hanging the clock? Thats a big thing I am stil insecure with.
Hi Doni. Have a look at this one using decals. It may help. ua-cam.com/video/9zKf2SAdfOc/v-deo.html Nearly forgot. Yes it does hold the weight. I use a single layer but have made using two. But check the mechanism you use for gross weight.
yes, it's ugly ;-), but I really liked the technique! What size drill did you use? When buying the clock, what size shaft do you need? Thank you for showing this lesson
Hi DoJo. I didn't get any Thinfire on the back. That was my concern, but it worked out fine. You can see in the video the back came off the shelf clean.
Only my opinion, but the person who hit it with the ugly stick must have sore arms. Great the way it didn't pull in when under the 6 mm and not many bubbles , something I will put in my have a crack at pile, a very interesting technique and a good video
🤣😂😁 Pulled in very slightly around the edge, but nothing of concern. I think with thicker frit under the glass and the coarse frit embedded in it, it may stop bubbles.

Hi Jim. I sort of get that. Feels like the heart, but I'm told not. Getting old (older 🙄) is wonderful
It's not to my taste, but you're right, someone's going to love it.
Hi Stephanie. Yes, taste is very subjective.

Thank you, Helene. I really appreciate that.

My pleasure, and happy to give you a laugh.
Thank you for showing something you don't like. Happens to all of us. I for one learned from it and appreciate the opportunity.
Hi Corky. I agree. It's just part of the craft.
We’ve learnt a lovely lesson so thank you another great video x
Hi Susan. Always glad to help. 😀
thanks for this very informative video!

Thanks for the lesson....I've been working with decals lately, and love it when it turns out right. Thanks for posting this.
Hi Deanna. Getting the temp correct is important 😕 There's always a next time. 😁

Hi John. Glad you enjoyed it.
Love learning the new techniques. Thank you!!
Hi Barbie. Pleasure.
Muy lindo, , ahora si megudta elvidrio, se puede pintar con el
Hola Yvonne. Estoy de acuerdo. Podría haberlo pintado con pinturas de esmalte.
I love the technique and the fact you put it in your gallery even though you don't like it. Did it sell?
Not yet. Not that we get many visitors. 🙄 It may become a Christmas present. 😁

Hi Karin. The movement I purchased has an 8 mm shaft. Others may be different. The drill bit I use is 9 mm.
Did you have a problem with the thin fire on the back? I've read that it can be difficult to remove.
