I feel exactly the same way buddy, I really couldn't be happier with how this little experiment in teaching has worked out, and feel like I've learned a hell of a lot myself. So thanks to you too, and thanks to the Melting Pot in general for bringing us together. And in particular to PSTVN for his part in helping to get things rolling. And while I do appreciate your thanks, I think you give me far too much credit. In my honest opinion the real reason you've done so well is just that you're an extraordinary person, with all the rare qualities of character required to succeed in this business, and I think you would have done great no matter who's doorstep you ended up on. But I'm truly grateful that it happened to be mine.

For whatever its worth, as far as I'm concerned in the last year you've more than proven you've got what it takes to be a huge success, both in glass and in life. And you can count on me to continue to be here to help in any way I can. There is no doubt in my mind you've got a great future ahead of you, full of dead and rotting monstrosities preserved in glass that will haunt pipe collectors nightmares for years to come. I can hardly wait.

Congrats on the nomination and finishing your apprenticeship! Just checked out your GP gallery and you have some sweet stuff. I honestly haven't seen anything like it. Way to pave your own way and may you sell another 2100+ this year. Rep.

Pipes sold count ends.
"completely lost due to incompetence."
Somewhere around 2,300 when I quit caring.
Lots of shit has happened. I'm doin a bunch more shit since last posting, no internets at home and no digital camera has made it hard to share work.
I do drop work on facebook from time to time, cause it's easy from my phone... everything ends up in the mobile uploads gallery... (search "Pogo Theglassblower")
will try to gather photos and do some kinda last four months in a post or two thing.
