Will this light box work for cutting glass? I am wanting to use it for working with stained glass.

My BF (who I bought it for) said it probably wouldn't since it is an acrylic top. It weighs very little.

I love the lamp. I use for stained glass working. I don't think it would hold on a vertical surface.

Erik, I could not use it with my lighting. It has side clips that will not compress. If it was just a hole, it would suffice. Good luck.

would this work to create a pendant light out of a bottle? so would cut the bottom off the bottle and hang it from the neck - thinking for over my island - thanks in advance

I think it would, it has a screw on clamp that holds really tight. Mine is on a level end table; I use it for my needle point and it works "excellent".It's the best purchase I ever made. And I made plenty of purchases regarding magnifying glasses for my needle points. And it swivels and bends and has a "really" bright light! I'm very pleased with it.

should work, I think. Depends also on how many holes you want to make. It's not that strong. Remember to ware protect glass.

This is a 25 watt soldering iron. This article I found says you need 40-80 watts for stained glass: http://www.walmart.com/c/bg/soldering-iron-buying-guide - so I'd say the answer is no.

Yes, that's what I have. I made an all glass top for better light dispersion. I gorilla glued a cabinet handle to the glass and the lighting unit is so light weight that you can lift it and the glass together for feeding time.

It would cut it but holding a small stone to cut it would be hazardous to your hands and very messy. You should by a cutter that has a holding fixture. My opinion. I like the saw for tile.

No this blade is intended to cut glass. We used it to cut glass tile mixed with slate. It worked well for that purpose. You should rent a concrete cutter for your purpose.

this will work for glass enclosed light fixtures. I've used one for out doors. its lasted me over 3 years.

I cut a cardboard wine box in half lengthwise. Then I cut a square hole in the side the size of the magnifier sheet. This holds it away from the page (or cell phone if you want to try it). I ended up cutting one end of the box to let light in - works pretty well and leaves hands free.

it would but i dont think it will look to good. wine glass worked really well and i used battery power tea candle... for the light

I see no reason that it would not work. It can be easily adjusted to put light where you need it. You may use up a lot of batteries if you use this area frequently.

In this type of a box it can only be as long as the box is deep...otherwise it will "poke" the diffuser panel they really should have a better photo showing how you connect it to your light and how the light stand goes up through the end of the box. It is well worth the price, but you will need to adjust your light placement on the rod to get the most bounce back without leaving a shadow on the diffuser. I hope that makes sense. ;-)

Seems to me you'd want more than 45 watts. (I actually thought torches were used for stained glass, until I started shopping for a soldering iron.)
