Your gonads are in the back??? Heheheheee....JK I don't bother with vengeance. You won't do it again😊 Actually, you probably will so I'm not even gonna bother.....😅 I don't see you fretting over someone else's actions. Maybe a $3000 Murano.....? You said it before, don't challenge him . Still sick about that confetti. Decided to collect the high enders. The workmanship is just too over the top. I am planning to register with the Atlanta Merchandise Mart. There I can see what the big dealers are paying for fine high end glass. And just to get to look at it. I don't think glass blowing has changed much. But the machine made glass is on a serious technology increase. Never fret over what someone else does The value doesn't matter, it's the art Seriously I could care less about the $ You are going to make back what you paid for it and then some. But dam it sure was pretty....questa è la vita. The basics of glass blowing will never change. The artist will. I still don' think machine made will ever reach the same value or quality You have to register to see what they have?

After watching those guys work it changed outlook on how skilled one has to be making glass work. Some of those bigger pieces required 4 people due to the weight and them so close to that glowing hot glass. Precision teamwork. One guy may have to spin at just the right speed while the other is feeding molten glass at his flank. To heck with the $$$, it is the art skill and creation, agreed. I'll be glad to get trade in credit if shop owners are interested. I just like grinding this stuff. Funny, tumblers and buying has kept me too busy to melt any

Just an observation - the biggest balls are on Fords
Toyotas ? They don't reign largest ? Found On Road Dead / Fix Or Repair Daily. Remember those Ford sayings Jean ? Yeah, those sayings are a bunch of hogwash. Toyotas? Not so much. Especially not the high mileage ones.

What more could one want? (I hope) Designate one or two days just for melting. Mix it up a ittle so you don they burned out on one thing

Especially not the high mileage ones. 350,000 miles and still strong Jean. Starting to redefine the meaning of high mileage. I saved money to get a new truck a year ago. This one keeps on going and makes the hassle of looking for a new one a burden. Normally would be all excited about getting a new vehicle.

There is a lull for a while in the tumbling because of the steps they are in. Hope to fire first kiln melt tomorrow. Gotta figure out how to program the little controller. Had a load come out today. check out these tumbles. From an art plate that had wires, screen and metals clad between layers. Lots of personality and variety in this plate, was chipped and cheap, from Home Goods. Next load has most of it. Polish made New Italian on left, El cheapo on right Some leftover odds and ends. Polish at lower left. One of the Home Goods has a bunch of the pastel Polish vases at lower right, fine work on those
