marboman Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Thats' a beauty Rich,you made that with moretti glass and a torch?Guess you could get other colors too.7/8" is as big as you can go or can you make them bigger,say 1-1/4"?Very nice work!how big is your kiln,I have one of my own I rarley use.

richsantaclaus Posted October 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Yes, I made it last night. I can go bigger too. I have 290 colors to choose from! But, I have to use transparent glass for the base. I have a Jen-Ken kiln model F something.... in the shape of an octagon. Do you torch too? What do you use your kiln for?

marboman Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 I need to look and see what brand and size my kiln is but I can tell you it's got three sections,it's 230V single phase.I use it for pre-heating and slow cooling cast iron weld repairs.I haven't used it for awhile though it's fully functional and ready to go.It's about four feet tall.Maybe you should come up to Sparks and give me a lesson.I have a torch I use to cut steel with.Once again that's a beautiful slag,can't believe you did it last night!Very nice.

marboman Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 What color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsantaclaus Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Well, I started with lite transparent green but in the kiln it doesn't look transparent - I have to wait 8 1/2 hours to go through the cooling cycle of the annealing process.
