Re: [ATM] There seems to be a reoccurring motif among this list.

Hi Owens, if you plan to play with glass slumping 
you will get all you need to know and more in the book
Glass Notes, by Henry Halem,

http://www.glassnotes.com

You can build your kiln, molds, etc..

Have fun,

Jean-Guy

p.s. i make all my blanks, to 40"
