Wow! So much great info. Appreciate your calm, encouraging teaching style, Lisa. I’ve been fusing for a while, Baurain always learn something new from you. Thanks for showing your equipment setup, too. I’ve never made a drop vessel before, but you’ve given me the courage to try it!
Lisa, thank you so much for your time, sharing and wonderful tips! So, how do I grow a 3rd hand, haha? One of my senior moments in posts is when people say "1300 with a 60 minute hold"...my senior moment is the ramp often appears left out. Where to begin? 100/1200/10, 500/1300/60 for example? Once achieved drop to liking then use an anneal? I don't have a grinding wheel but have several grades of sanding grit. I suppose the results would be achieved using them,,,just longer time, Thanks again, I love all your videos, this one especially! ~H
Hi Lisa. Great video. I am quite new to this, I did buy a kiln. You stated you peeked in the kiln to see the progress of the drop. How does one safely open the kiln? That freaks me out, it's so hot!
I have a hook with a wooden handle that I hook onto the handle of the kiln to lift the lid just enough to peek in (stand as far back as you possibly can) and I don't keep the lid open long, Just enough to peek and close back. It does get HOT so be careful! I also wear specialty heat resistant gloves, and i make sure I am wearing cotton clothing to help protect your arms and legs (so the only thing getting "fired up" is the glass lol). You can find the gloves and hook at your local art glass supplier. I hope this helps!

I took my very first drop vase experiment out of the kiln this morning so your timing was perfect. Great idea to add a base. Thank you.
So many great videos to try. Thanks love all the ideas and techiques.
