In the two videos just below this post a glass crafter and a glass artist demonstrate the use of some simple glass tools. The tools in the first video are some that most any person working in glass would have. Cutting thicker glass, like the plate glass in the video, requires a somewhat different technique than cutting the glass normally used in stained glass work and in fusing. The second video shows the use of a basic power tool (the glass grinder) that is so helpful in smoothing the edges of glass before handling it in stained glass or other work. Enjoy!

I’ll have a new post in a day or two about a glass category but today I wanted to tell all of you of my new web site (or blog) about getting and staying healthy (the site is GettingHealthy-Naturally.com). My goal in starting this blog site is to showcase true stories of adults (especially those over age 50) who boosted and kept their health without pharmaceutical drugs. Maintaining optimum health by “natural means” has always been an interest of mine. Isn’t it better to have good health now and keep it rather than trying to get it back after loosing it? Please visit my other site soon. I encourage you to leave comments. Please tell us (the readers) how you maintain good health, and if it applies, tell us how you recovered from an illness without any powerful drugs.

First featured several years ago on CraftingGlass.com, this video is so good, IMHO, that I want our new visitors to see it (and I hope those who have seen it watch again)!
In the video/slide show (In the House of Stone and Light) just below this post you will see some of the most beautiful stained glass windows in the world, IMHO. These lovely pictures were taken by Klaus Volpert, Ph.D.(a member of the Bryn Mawr Church in the pictures). The background music is “religious” but very beautiful. I believe you’ll find it very unique and “easy on the ear”.
Now please look at the video in the post below.

These are images I took of the stained glass windows at Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church, plus some interior pictures. The song is `In the House of Stone and Light’ by Martin Page. Here it is arranged and performed as an A Cappella (voices only) piece by the Davidson Generals, an incredibly gifted a cappella group at Davidson College. Arrangers were Hunter Mobley, Alex Libson and Marshall Findley. Soloist is Marshall Findlay. Alex Libson is a former member of BMPC and its senior choir. For more …

(My Note: Watch how the dichroic glass earrings are fused. Also, Did you know you could make your own fusing kiln? Interesting…) Jerry Webmaster, CraftingGlass.com
This is a sample clip of an instructional video for the building of a small glass fusing kiln. It can be used for the pre-heating of glass rods for beadmaking, and for annealing beads. Parts in 2005 cost $200 to build. Runs on 5 amps, 110 volts, so it just plugs in to a regular household socket. The video is intended for people with no kiln building experience, so is slow paced, thorough instruction with emphases on modifying the design to meet you own specific requirements. The full 2-dvd set also has demonstrations for the making of a complex bead, glass jewelry production, and the making of small mosaic dishes. Please see www.mayneislandglass.com for more info. Please look at my other sample clips from other videos, and my various tutorials on glassmaking.
