    Greetings, my name's Justin, I'm 25 or 26 (can't remember) and I live in central missouri. I've been raging glass for a year and a half and love love love it. When I can't work, I hop on this forum and read for hours on end, learning and laughing. Thank you!

    Hello

    I'm 22 and from Quebec, Canada. I've been lurking here for quite a bit and I already know I'll love glass working even though I haven't started yet. I've been making organ pipes (smelting, forming and soldering sheet lead/tin) for 1 year now and really like working with heat.

    Thank you for all the information you guys share.

    Wink Re: Rollcall - introduce yourself!

    Greetings from another Eugene Flame-worker. I was doing a web search the other day to see who the teams were for the Vegas Flame-off and landed here and have been reading ever since! Thanx to all for such a great source related to our trade/medium! I probably will read more than post at this time, I have been out of the loop socially in the glass scene for a long time and feel that its hurt me a bit as far as my progression within the trade/medium. I aim to change that. So thanx again many of you have helped already, reading up on color and catching up on the new generation of torches out there has been great.
    I have about 10 years invested in the trade and was a commercial Salmon fisherman before that ( house is paid-off but my body is half-shot lol ) and i like flame working a whole more lol. I have a small one-man shop here and have been jobbing for others for a long time and am considering marketing my own stuff in the future. Again this site has helped me see a few things I needed to be aware of. U Rock! see-ya soon...
    Oh-yeah u Eugene peeps remember that old dude by the nickname "tallPaul"? lol-ring any bells?

    erm... hello! Have been playing with fire for not quite 3 years, Had my go at boro a week or so ago and now I know what all the fuss is about. Just realised that I NEED to do more than beads and need to take the next step. So hoping to learn lots here! Oh and I am about an hour and a half north of Sydney.

    Cheers to you all. Being new to the list, I guess I posted my first post in the wrong place . I am just getting started in glass work and don't do well with this interwebbing thing.

    Anyway, I am a professional goldsmith living in southern Ohio. I have had my studio in the same location for 25 years, so I do know a little something on how to make a living in the crafting industry and hope I can share my knowledge and experience with you all.

    I took a workshop in lampworking and got hooked. This seems to be the place where all the experts hang out, so I will probably have a million questions for you all. I am just setting up my studio and am going to try to adapt 'smithing' equipment to glass work.

    Please bear with me when I show my stupidity about equipment and technique and I will try to answer any questions you all have about metal work. My real name is Teddy and I bid you all a good day.

    Hey, Lori here, new to torch work. So new that I am still waiting for my goodies to come from sundance glass! Reside in the Houston Texas area. Been reading up on making beads and can't wait to start. My husband bought me a bunch of stuff to get set up. Waiting for my torch - Nortel Major Minor. Looking forward to learning from everyone.

    Hello Everyone my name is Marc AKA Goofba, 33, Detroit Mi born and Raised.

    My interest in glass started in 1999. I helped a cool Kid from California (John) set up a studio in a small trailer in Rossville Mi. My interest in the Art has only grown since then. Now some great friends of mine have introduced me to a exceptionally talented Glass artist Drew AKA Bleb in Detroit Mi. Who knows all the in and outs of the glass Empire. This site is and has been a huge stepping stone for me.

    Thank you!
