Rollcall - introduce yourself!

My name is Chris Camac. I work for Carlisle Machine Works as a sales rep, but that also means that I do a lot of other things here, like having a hand in a lot of the R&D work. I have several hobbies including glass, computers, games of every type. I also have a family at home that probably wishes I didn't spend so much time on work and other hobbies :D

Carlisle is a very open company, that likes to listen to the glass industry and its needs. So if anyone has any ideas on new things they would like to see or just ways to upgrade existing Carlisle items, please let me know either through e-mail or PMing me.

Hello everyone, I'm new to the board because I just got a computer (believe it or not). I have 12-13 years experience on the torch, and have had several students over the years. I look forward to hearing from others in the industry.

Misty Moon, here. Living in SW Indiana. Single parent of an awesome 10 year old boy. PTA Treasurer, Sunday School Director/Teacher, working 5 days a week slinging lunch at a local restaurant. I love creating things, I started out making dresses, loomed beaded pieces, peyote stitch....Been sharing a house with my Mom for the last nine years, she's my best friend and my best sales person, hehe.... Although it's a two bedroom house and the boy and I share a room, I have designed and built the best bunk beds in the world( according to my son that is), also learned how to hang drywall after the ceiling fell down, and how to be a plumber, when the water pipes busted... (I don't like to pay for anything I think I can possibly do myself :) .) Got my love for glass on dead tour in '93 (go figure), where I was told "girls don't blow glass" ....got me some basic skills in '98, a cutting torch, and a desire to do more... Now I have a Lynx, yeah!! I lamp at night after all the other work is done. I also have taught my Sunday school classes all about the power of Bartering! I have them using their artistic skills for me in trade for beads/pendants. I want them to know that what they do has value even at a young age...I believe that encouraging creativity and art in children is good for their self esteem.....okay, did I say I come from a long line of long-winded individuals? I could go on forever, but I'll stop now, before you all fall asleep. Much Love to this board and all who a part of it, Misty Moon

.......Jesse DeMoss........

I'm back in my hometown of New Meadows, Idaho - Population 580 - (I know, it's a pretty busy place....traffic was backed up four cars at the stop sign today).
I'm 27 and I am now officially addicted to the torch. Luckily my wife puts up with me (at least she gets to wear a new necklace everyday). She is actually very encouraging which is a blessing. We invest in real estate so my days are fairly open and I am able to spend most it behind the Torch.

Peace
