Happy New Year!<\/h1>\n

Finally we will have a decade again with an identity.<\/p>\n

Should you be reading this post to the end, you will find out that there is a possibility that I will actually make it for you. Just be one of the first people to order our “Special” and request a mold cutting service.<\/p>\n

 [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.24″]My students keep asking me, if we could make plates that are fairly flat with just a slight curve to the edges of the dish. So finally I succumbed to the challange and made one out of Kaiser Lee Board. Of course it can not just be a “one use” style mold.<\/p>\n

To create the curve I used a sanding block and carved on an angle to the inside, where I removed the 5 inch circle first.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.24″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.24″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/kaiserlee.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/flat-dish-mold-set-up.jpg” _builder_version=”3.24″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.24″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.24″ custom_margin=”20px|0px|10px|15px”]Several year ago one of my students, Dick, introduced me to those little tiles which you can get mounted on a net at any place where they sell tiles. Make sure they are ceramic tiles. You can even cut them with a glass cutter and break them with the runner. Until then I always used little pieces of KLB. But this definitely gives me more options and they are easier to use.<\/p>\n

Using just two tiles to elevated the outer mold part just to a very shallow dish. If you want the dish a bit deeper in the center, add another tile and for a soup bowl you remove the center KLB part and use as many tiles you like until you have the preferred hight of your bowl.

I used 4 sets of tiles three levels high for this blue lunch plate.<\/h6>\n

Create Your Own Table Setting with just this ONE KLB Mold<\/h2>\n

Just recently we had a discussion with a friend who said that he wanted a tablesetting made in the USA. So I told him not to look any further. He can make his own with glass made in the USA – Wissmach Glass, which is even tested food save.<\/p>\n

So with this mold we will be making serving plates, lunch plates, soup bowls, and dinner plates. And if we get bored by the pattern, we can always change it.<\/p>\n

Here is a plate that is 15″ (38 cm) long on a 12″ (30 cm) square mold.<\/p>\n

Ahh! the magic of working diagonal. Isn’t it fun. And yes it Wissmach clear COE 96 with many colors fused and slumped in one firing.\n<\/p><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
