    “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Truer words have never been spoken, particularly as it applies to glass fusing. There are times when we would love to repeat a perfect firing outcome or an amazing but unanticipated effect. There are other times when we encounter a disappointing result that we would like to avoid in the future. This is where record keeping plays an important role.

    This log page has easy to use ‘check boxes’ for the type and style plus space to describe the glass & components in the project. Two blank firing schedule tables are set-up in a format that is digital controller friendly. A conclusion and observation area is provided for comments and suggestions when planning similar projects in the future.
