New milestone badges and what they mean!

[PyroChixRock]

Hey glass family! Have you noticed the awesome new milestone badges floating around? Aren't they snazzy.



If you mouse over each one (on a profile, not here) it will tell you how long that person has been in the glass industry. We feel this is an important thing to know when you're reading a post from someone, especially when looking for advice.


If you don't have your milestone badge, please vote on this poll now (select an option above, and post in this thread please ) and you will receive yours shortly. Also let us know when you reach new milestones so we can celebrate with you.

We will give you a badge for each milestone you reach, but if you have a lot of badges and just want the highest milestone shown, let us know.

We hope to see you all reaching new milestones!

Very snazzy badges Misha!

I started working glass before I married Elaine, and we recently celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary : )

This is cool Misha! Next year will be 13 years since my first torch! Technically, I started hands on learning in 2001 though.

I've only taken about 12 private classes. I've gotten the bug. Glass is all I think about now a days.

Started engraving glass in 1990, built a kiln in 98 and started melting flat stuff, scored the Nortel Major in 2001 and upgraded to Red Max shortly after, added three kilns, three torches since, sold all the sandblastiung kit earlier this year, still learning, sharing skills and having fun hah hah
