    Default Is this forum still active?

    Are people still on here? Is there another way to connect with others that I don't know about? I'm looking to rebuild my shop again as my daughter is old enough and wants to learn.

    I still check in. I intend to move a bunch of greasy color I've acquired in work trade. (Cheap shorts rod, odd tube , seconds tube , ect.. I must have a few hundred pounds. )

    I really need to post up some working tips for the current colors I'm testing (for greasy.)

    Perhaps posting this will give me the motivation to get it done.

    I pop in from time to time. My glass space was given over to chaos, I'm slowly working on getting it back to usable as time and weather permit.

    The mice and ants got into a LOT of the stuff <sigh>

    Is there a glass forum on Facebook? If so, (which one) where did the people from here go to? I heard a rumor, no facts yet tho. Hows your fuming techniques doing lately?

    Just decided to check in and saw this thread. I don't really do Facebook or IG. I've been missing the good old days here though

    Been a long time for me... I've fallen out of the glass world for quite some time now, but have been having thoughts of setting up a small hobby space again. My bench and exhaust hood are still set up, and I still have my torch, all my tools, and some glass.. I just need a kiln and some oxygen, but I haven't yet decided if I want to spend the money to get back in as a hobby or not... Anyways, love to see that the site is still here. I was just saying a few weeks ago how badly I miss the old internet Forums..

    I just re-filled my tanks and have been warming up on some spoons lately. I've been slowly building some MOJO up to get back out there.

    I'm still rockin' my Cheesenip sherlock from the good ol' days of Melting Pot Pipe Trades

    Glad to see you guys still check in here. I have only had limited time in my studio over the last 6 months due to work schedule and doing home renovations (and now winter). Made a few spoons, ornaments and other small things.

    I’ve been off the torch for about 4 years and am super stoked to start melting again. Came to TMP for that fuming mega thread. Long live talkglass.
