Storage for Glass

[Billie]

The glass is much more accessible now.  I'm well chuffed!  Just need to work on a frit stand... 

[♥♥Tan♥♥]

ooo something voice activated....RAKU!!! and the stand drops down from the ceiling, revolves and stops with the raku just in hands reach.

Right....so when are you going to get that sorted then?

[Bumpy Beads]

Ooooohh.. would ya look at that stash!

As soon as you send me the blue prints LOL

Oooh your glass looks fab

[silverlemon]

That stash looks bootifull.  So come on, how long did you cut yours?

[Billie]

The tubes?  James them 33cm long so we could get 6 segments from each length of pipe.  I think that's also the length of Q's rods... 

[glassworks]

yep, roughly 1m long cut into thirds... although ASK somehow came up with TWO really odd lengths than balls everything up for us!!! and double helix is shorter!!

we have ikea bookcases modified and regularly slash ourselves on ASK sticking out!!!

And I thought I had a lot of glass.........

Hey my .02 - I like using wine racks to store glass. There's cool wrought iron ones, or wooden - they handle the weight well !

Hi, I don't think this idea has been mentioned before but if it has I'm sorry. I'm brand new to all of this but have been trying to think about how to store all of the beautiful glass from my starter kit which I am itching to use! I went to my local cinema and they gave me lots and lots of empty cardboard poster tubes for free! They seemed really pleased to get rid of them in fact. Anyway think I'm going to put them in a box to hold them all together (haven't worked that bit out yet!). Really pleased as it's saved me a good few quid  .
Hope this helps someone.

I think it can only save the nation from salt overload from scoffing all those pringles

Wow what a fab idea! My mate is a projectionist at a cinema so i'll ask him to have a scour around for some!

I have a small cabinet where I have most of my glass in.
First I had it in  tubes also bud I prefer to see my glass from above.
I'll post some pics;the first drawer contains vetrofont pastel glass,the second vetrofont transparant,the third CIM,ASK,Lauscha and odd lots and the fourth some of my frit mixes from glass diversions (the other two dwawers left are closed,including more frit and bigger bundles of white,black and clear...).
