Hi everyone. My name is Chris and I live in Indiana, just outside of Indianapois. Iv'e been torching for 2 years.

My current setup is a Barracuda with a custom base, 2 M15 Oxycons and I work mostly in boro. As I work more with glass, and others glass workers I always seem to end up spending as much time making tools as I do working with glass. In fact, I sell tools on my website, but I've never tried to sell any glass items I've made. Crazy, I know.

Anyhow, just wanted to introduce myself.

welcome to the board...do you have any pics of what you've done with the rolling texture thing?

Thank you.

PJ - No, I do not. I do mostly pendants and marbles. I started making the texture tool after a friend asked for one. I saw how much they cost elsewhere so I made about 30 of them. Essentially though, they make grooves in your glass. I've got the torch fired up so I'll see if I can make something to show you.
