KJ9D (SK) used to cut the top and bottom out of glass pickle jars. Worked
great. Just a thought.

Subject: [Amps] Cracked Chimney
I have managed to put a crack in my chimney (SK-506 for 4-1000 etc). The
crack is such that I am afraid that even the pressure from the metal clips
will cause a large piece of the glass to break off.
Has anyone had any luck either repairing such a crack or having a glass
repair firm do it? I have looked around for some such repair service, but
have not had any luck. I was hoping to find someone that repairs antique
glass. I would think that in the right hands the glass could be heated and
re-joined?
As these chimneys are getting scarce I'd like to repair this one - but I'm
probably looking at a cost equal or greater than what I can pay for a
replacement. Any thoughts?
Merry Christmas to all.
