[Tsnider]

i love TMP because i learned to blow glass from it. Had zero people around to show me my way. you guys are all fucking awesome and i couldnt have done any of it without you. very thankful

[Grim Glassworks]

TMP has lots of great info and people!! :D Happy birthday TMP!

[Mr.P0rn]

I love the melting pot because it is the single largest treasure trove of lampworking and pipe making knowledge, and the people are just as good as the glass!

[harpentuan]

This site removed the glass-curtin 13 years ago. Now everyone helps each other, rather than keeping secrets.

[D. dino i ninjah]

I love the Melting pot because it allows me to connect with other glassblowers ... I cant really think of a better way to say it
Thanks for making it possible and all

[berning]

2. thanks to the web collab thread from a few years ago, i ended meeting cripskillz ......and then everything changed.
3.this site is also responsible for a ton of stuff i learned early on.
4 this is where i found out about AGI.
........so many other reasons,but i type to slow

I love the melting pot because not only does it teach you more than you could ever hope for, but it also entertains me through out the day since I keep it as a constant running app on my phone. And on top of that it can get you in touch with people that you can make a long lasting friendship with, I know it has happened for me a couple times and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I also feel like the moderators genuinely care about the forum and its members which is not always the case on online forums.

So thank you for providing a great spot for like minded people to discuss what we all ultimately love - THE GLASS !

I can tell you this is 100% true! You guys are my family. :)

I'm loving these answers so far guys! :D

[marleyb0b]

I love TMP because it is PACKED with useful info and tips for noobs such as myself. Not to mention all the characters that frequent this site hahaha

Really makes it a lot easier being a self taught artist.

Thanks for all the hard work mods!

[TlkQ]

100% it's the sammiches.

[PyroChixRock]

Someone's going for the sammich badge. :rollin

[Hels]

I haven't posted in a long time, but I come back here and just read and look around fairly often. Not only is there a ton of info, but its inspirational, and pumps me up for wanting to work with glass again. As much as I love it, I still need a kick in the ass to go turn everything on. After I look at some of the pix here, I want to go melt some glass:)!

[jr23]

I love the melting pot because it sucks in all the good info, without sucking in the process!

[derekg0]

Over the last 3-4 years this has been where I have learned 90% of what I know now. Since this is a hobby for me, I usually get around 10 hours a week into it, if that, but reading about new techniques while at my day job really inspires me for the couple hours I get to stand before the bench at night or on the weekends. So I gotta say it's the inspiration that I love the most, the new ideas, and people pushing the envelope and sharing their ideas. Oh and reading some of the funniest threads I've ever seen comes in a close second. While I know none of you and I am a bit of a lurker most of the time, I do feel like I know a lot of you from reading so many of your posts.

Thanks!
D

TLDR: This place inspires me!

[IsthmusColor]

I love the trolls and goblins.
But seriously it's a wealth of knowledge and resources. Anytime I have a question or need something for the studio it can be answered or found here. Thx tmp

[MrNiceGuy]

For me it has to be the progression threads. Seeing where people started out and where they are now gives me all sorts of optimism and excitement to keep going and trying new things. And to learn those new things TMP gives me tutorials and a large community of people eager to help. This type support is priceless and irreplaceable. I may be new to flameworking, but I can see TMP being an important resource for the long run.

[yinzer]

I LOVE NOMAD

About ten more minutes to enter in this game. :D

[Forge]

Easy!!!!.....

I live literally on a rock in the Atlantic Ocean called Newfoundland . I had no clue about lampworking until I saw a video online one day. Joined TMP, had all the help in the world with my set up, what supplies to buy, what to work on first, and then finally figured out the search function and have been learning steadily ever since...and yes, you'll find it if you look in the right place ;)

Big Thanks TMP and everyone!

[torchgirl]

I love the melting pot because there is so much information and everyone shares. I like the AGI forum so I know what's going on with AGI.

[Organik]

I love melting pot because it bring like minded people together to converse about all types of things including current events, all types of glass, local events and music.. just an all around great place to pass time or get involved in the community.

[olddog]
