Marble Stand
Hello,
I have had the same thing in mind. I figured I just needed some kind of tool to make the same size impression in a big gloop of clear. I was thinking about maybe borrowing one of my wife's dapping punches and seeing how that worked |
i've got a graphite reamer that i could make the depression with..i'll have to fool around with it when i get the chance.
|
I melt a large gather of glass then press into a maria, next I punty up to the bottom of the maria and melt off the original rod leaving a bit of glass to gather up. When I have a good size ball of glass I take a dapping punch and press into the gather to make a nice cup. I break off my punty, fire polish and there you go!

I have heard the problem with glass on glass when it comes to display stands is the eventual scratches.
There are some plastic ones out there. Not classy but they work. Sue |
Pam is making very beautiful ones out of wood... burls, live-edge, etc.

Brass grommets - you can buy a whole package at Harbor Freight for about $2.00
