Hi Everyone. Something I should have suggested in the video is that you could make these using float glass, which would make them very cheap. What do you think?
Do you sand blast both sides or just one?
Sí, por supuesto, no es tan blando el vidrio, pero se puede. Lo voy a probar!! Muchas gracias!! Me parece una muy linda presentación de la pieza.
Both sides Shannon. Gives a bit more depth.
Hola Maria. Pruébalo. Estoy seguro de que los encontrará fáciles y muy útiles.
Great idea!
It is great to learn how to make a stand as purchased stands get pricey and these look to be unique to the piece. Thanks so much.
Hi Nancy. Pricey is right, sometimes hard to justify. As you say, they can work well with the piece.
Thank you Jeff. Very informative.
Hi Thomas. Happy to help.
Always never a miss niw fir your series of tutorials.. i thabk GID for your passion.and talent.stay blessed sir! Ill have more to leaen bcoz i commit to reaching out to the less fortunate talented students/youth mostly in my province in td philippines
Hi Josephine. That's fantastic to hear what you're doing. All the best and glad I can help.
Thank you! 👍👍👍
No problem.
I like that ‘cheap’ float glass idea! Thanks 😉
Most of us artists run on a shoestring, so anything we can save is great.
Great idea Jeff! I will try one for my small bowls to display at shows instead of commercial stands.
Hi Cate. Good luck at the show.
Thanks, this fantastically simple project is a great idea. I appreciate your sharing. You are so generous. Hi from Israel
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the wonderful video. Greetings from Serbia.
Hi Slavica. My pleasure.
I am a beginner in fusing. Thank you so much for your videos, they are really inspiring. Greetings from South America!
Hi Marcela. If I can inspire, that makes my day.
Hi Jeff! What a clever idea! Enjoying your videos from beautiful San Diego. Thanks so much for sharing. I love how clear and specific you are!
Hi Jo. It's great to know others are getting something from my videos. Always glad to help. Stay safe in San Diego.
Love this , thanks so much!
Hi Helene. Glad to help.
Thank you for this great idea for a stand for a bowl. What about a stand for a flat square project? I would love to see that. Thank you again. Judy
Hi Judy. Will give it some thought.
Clever idea. So smart
Hi Joanne. Best thing of all, it's not costly.
Thanks Jeff. Just love the simplicity of such a stylish stand.
Hi Mary. Always looking for a simple solution we can all use.
That’s so clever! Thanks for sharing Jeff.
Hi Ghislaine. Hope they work for you.
Awesome tutorial...thank you!
You are so welcome!
Wonderful idea. Thank you for sharing this process.
My pleasure Jo.
Thank you so much for this video. Most helpful!
Hi Jane. Very happy to help.
Great idea cheers Tom
Thanks Tom. Hope it helps and you can use it.
I will use your idea for a base thank you cheers Tom from Ireland
Thanks so much Jeff. I’m surprised that it is so simple and would have never thought about using the same bowl mold for slumping the stand. I can’t wait to give it a try. Can you tell me where the community tab is located?
Hi Gwen. You'll need to be on the channel page. On a desktop it's in the horizontal menu below the logo and my name. The menu that starts with Home, Video, Playlists etc. On a mobile it's at the top of the screen, in the horizontal menu, when on the channel page.
Hi Jeff I really love this idea! Wondering if there is a more precise way of measuring the opening for the stand that trial and error? And how do you decide on the thickness (width) of the stand
You could take a piece of cardboard and cut a cross-section of the bottom of the bowl. You could then use that to work out the points where you want it to sit to get the opening size. The curve will depend on the mould you'll use for the stand. You could use the same mould you used for the bowl and I believe the bowl will sit high enough so it won't touch the table. Hope I explained that well enough.
Thank you Jeff for all your wonderful videos!!! As a new glass fuser, I so appreciate the way you explain your process. I am working my way through your library. I was wondering if you could use etching cream to get the satin effect since a sand blaster is not an option for me.
Hi Britt. Possibly. You would have to watch the temp and time I would think, as the etching cream wouldn't etch as much as the sandblasting. Too long and the piece may polish more than you want. Worth a test. May take a bit of etching cream though, depending on the piece.🤔
@@RocketRoseArt Thank you for your response. I'll let you know if I do it and how it works.
Hi Jeff,
Great idea, thanks for sharing. What mold did you use to slump the frame? Thank you,
Just a large bowl mould. You could use any size. Depends on the size of the stand you want.
@@RocketRoseArt Thanks Jeff. BTW: I don't see the "Community Tab"
Where did you get the curling guide. I like it.
Hi Judi. Not sure what you mean by curling guide?
Hi, is that the beetle bits cutting system you are using and do you recommend it? Also, could you tell me how often you have had to change the blade on the Taurus glass saw please? Thanks.
Hi Susan. Yes, it is the Beetle Bits System. Like all products, there are a couple of things that could be better, but overall I would recommend it. The Flying Beetle I am finding a little hard to use, it sticks a bit, but I'm going to try some wax. The ruler markings wore off but I could reverse it and it's fine. If they had been impressed that would have been better. But all good otherwise. I haven't changed the omnidirectional blade in the Taurus so far. Have used it for a couple of years, though I'm not in production and only hobby use. But it seems as good as new.
Is it necessary to sandblast these or would it be fine to just fuse and slump them clear?
Hi Sherri. You can absolutely just leave them clear. In any colour, or even using opal glass. No need to be transparent if you want.
How would you make a cell phone holder?
Great question. Depends on how you want to use it. On a wall, a table etc.
Hello, I'm wondering if you have a source for boron in an aerosol can? I bought a hand pump bottle from USA but it wasn't all that good ( sprayed out too thick) 5 or 6 years ago I bought an aerosol can from a bloke who worked for an aluminium smelter but I can't find his details anymore. Regards Paul Hampton
Hi Paul. I purchased a carton a while back when it was called MR-97. What country are you in? I'll see if I can find a relevant supplier. Or just search for MR-97 boron nitride maybe.
@@RocketRoseArt Hi Jeff.Thank you for getting back to me, I'm in Sydney and I think Perth Art Glass might have a supply of Mo - Re which is a non- flammable aerosol so I'll give them a call later on today.Once again thank you for your prompt response and I'd like to add that I find your videos very informative and a great source of inspiration
@@paulhampton938 That's exactly who I would have mentioned. They're the only ones I know so far. I haven't tried theirs yet, have quite a few cans left, but can't see why it wouldn't be fine.
I am not a social media enthusiastic or participant. I create on on Facebook and one twitter. I decided that that wasn't something that I would be happy with. I believe that I make a coment to one of your UA-cam video, perhaps I post a question but I don't know how to get the answer if you did answer me. I don't feel happy to post my email here. So I don't have a clue what to do!!
Bill
Hi Bill. What is you want to do?
