    Default My kingdom for a horse.

    My kingdom is my entire glass rig. The horse is, of course,money.An oldtimer once told me that,no matter how immortal I felt,everyone goes on the farewell tour. He may have said immoral,but I remember things the way they suit stories to come.Anywho, I'm going on the farewell tour,and I am selling everything.Reasonably and hopefully to some deserving apprentice who will do with them all the things I could not.
    Included are my torches,of course.A used Lynx,quite okydoky and loved. Next is my brand new Mirage, with it's brand new foot pedal and brand new blast shield. By brand new I mean not a cubic centimeter of gas has been run through it. Virgin. Not the Redd Fox virgin, "Confucious say virgin like balloon;one prick,all gone" The real kind. And it kills me to do it.And the line of things that are killing me goes out the door and down the block. Next is a kiln I had just bought,but needed to get 220 out to my shop to use. It works,but not here. Guillitine door with 2 doggy doors,I.D.17" wide x12"high X 14" deep.sits on a rolling stand and taunts me every time I walk by it.Lots of color.There's a package from TAG with a few pounds of Blue Stardust (which I love and could only be improved by flavoring it) that has a core of Blue Lep. I haven't opened it and forget what else I snagged, but will do so soon,weighs ~+/-10 lbs.Loose color (and by loose I mean someone helping me move things for a remodel just stacked the glass together in a box). I'm not sure how I'm going to square that away.And that's 30-40 lbs. I havent priced it out yet but wanted to get some interest in it all. I'm thinking $2000. for the Mirage with a Griffin RockIt 05 and the blast shield/marver. The Lynx...$320? Sounds fair.the glass I'll have to figure out and I'm burnin' daylight,so I'll be quick as I can. The kiln really needs to be a local pick-up. I'd like $500. That seems really fair. I'll try to get pictures up, had to get by the first hurdle of actually vocalising this little adventure.

    nice write up with all the little sayings and such. It would be easier to read though, especially the for sale stuff if you itemize each item for sale on a separate line with the asking price.

    Yea...I'll try to make it easier for you. The prices I'd like are low enough for you to glide thru a little poetic waxing and waning.Suck it up,sunshine.

    ....and I'm thinking of layering the color cost within the context of The Charge of the Light Brigade.

    I don't know if anyone's interested, but I've got a huge roll (60" wide) of ballistic grade kevlar.I've got the test cert's around somewhere. Did a lot of work for a private armoring company.They sent me a whole roll to work with ,350 lbs.

    Might be interested in some (maybe all) the color if you end up selling separately.

    If the kevlar is the kind that can be used to wrap tools, I would love some. The lynx is an awesome deal too if that's still available. Sorry to hear you are leaving the glass world

    Trying to get tools up in the next day or so, Jaws snuck in there before showtime. I'll let you know. In case you're wondering, yes the kiln really is gravity free.See how the basketball floats there.
