In the previous issue of The Glass Cone details of a bead making course run by Winston Doull at Daedalian Glass in Lancashire were given. Further information is now available on the small furnace which Winston Doull has developed to carry out operations requiring small quantities of glass. Called the "Volcano" it is simple to set up and can be used at home. At 36cm x 12cm it must be one of the smallest furnaces ever. It runs on propane gas and reaches 1200 deg C in the working zone. The detailed description of the furnace is too long to pring here, but if any one would like a photocopy please send a SAE to John Brooks, 2 Knights Crescent, Rotheley, Leicster LE7 7PN, or approach Mr Doull direct at Kaiserstr. 74, D-42781 Haan, Germany, tel: +49 2129 8213.
