Sorry to hear about your bad luck, where in NC are you and what company are you trying to work with? I'm near Charlotte and could definitely make some recommendations if you're out this way, plus it...

I would say I've got a 100% survival rate but only because I make relatively small glass discs. I'd imagine my success rate would drop significantly if I was doing large I/O marbles, vessels and...

I'm sure it'll do fine for a little while until it starts to bow and your tools/color start rolling toward the center. Reinforce it like others have suggested and replace it in the future when...

I'm terribly sorry for your loss, Matt. Reading those articles, it sounds like he was an awesome guy and I'm sure you've learned a lot of good from him. I wish you and your family the best through...

I don't think he's ripping anybody off or anything ($4.95 priority mail + $1.70 for shipping, then there's packing materials and time spent doing it), just saying that a lot of people won't...

I see where you're coming from and I only linked to the auction to avoid what I assumed would be a barrage of "the S&H is high to make up for the pendant being $.99" or whatever. In hindsight, I...

You know what Skip, I could (and probably should) have left out the specifics- I only posted the link so people could see the piece being shipped so I didn't get a lot of "well, they probably start...

Skip, you've had it out for me for years now so I take everything you say to me with a grain of salt. If you'll notice, I started this thread out by saying I've heard nothing but good things about...

I've heard nothing but good things about the people at TC Glass but was just curious how you guys would feel charging customers $9.15 shipping and handling on a pendant. Yeah it's insured priority...

I listed over 70 things and 4 of them have sold so far.

Good call, I've been using the security keys since they first started offering them and couldn't imagine not having one. Dwaine's right, everyone should get one.

Thank you very much! Believe me, it hurts me too and I wish I didn't have to do it. I tried really pushing stuff on Etsy, listing things every day and all, but had little success and had to resort...

Please check out http://www.onlyoneglass.com for more details. Thanks for looking!

They're perfect for finishing necklaces and the bid is only up to $10.02 right now. These clasps sell for $3.00+ a set at bead shops and my auction is for 100 sets! There's over 4 ounces of silver...

Thanks, J. I'm really anal about spelling/grammatical errors and I wondered about that prior to posting but was too lazy to look it up like I usually do. The pricing thing passed my "do unto others...

Sorry to offend anyone, I was unaware of that. Dually noted for the future, thanks for the info.

Ok, cool! I was wondering who would want to gay up such a bad ass slide with a heart-shaped opal, LOL! Nice job!

Minus the heart opal (sorry, just not big on the heart shape), that is definitely the coolest slide I've ever seen. Dope.

Please make a video of you doing this and put that shit on YouTube because that sounds really cool!

*edit* OK, so I just watched a few videos of that and it's not as cool as I thought. Could you...

Yeah, they can really be a pain sometimes but you can avoid the headaches by calling. I always call Kristian at Generations before ordering and I've never once had any hidden surprises since he...

I agree- you don't want their first impression to be that you're a haggling liar. Plus being up front about the glass may get you some sales, freebies or a better deal like it has for a number of...

That would make it a minimum of $11.20 per copy without paying for anyone's time...sounds like a lot to me.

Does anyone know if they plan on selling the book in smoke shops? I could see that helping all parties involved. When I think of my pre-torching years as a glass pipe collector, I definitely would...

It must really depend on the branch as I've got nothing but good things to say about the Machine & Welding Supply Company's Charlotte store. I get along great with my driver and former driver that...

Skip, I would suggest buying your camera from Wolf Camera (Ritz Camera in a lot of places) instead of Best Buy. It's been my experience that A) they'll price match anything Best Buy can do and B)...
