ty very much misha and thx for getting me on this nice forum bet i am gonna spend lots of hours in here ..hope to make new freinds and meet alot of good peeps in here .. is there a chat to this forum as well like web chat or somthing

[PyroChixRock]

Sure thing, no problem! I'm glad to have you here. One of my good friends lives out in Denmark, but he doesn't blow glass or I'd introduce you two. I'm sure there are people around you though.

We don't have a chat installed right now. We always had one before but it seems no one used it so I let it go. It's something we can always put back anytime if people have a desire to use it again. I do miss the chats.

Got a few hours (i know, i know) on the torch and love was never quicker realized
Juuuust getting into the producer rather than consumer side of the glass pool

Home studio about 2/3 of the way structurally complete
Raw glass on order, silver in search of, easy stuff outta the way...

Hi, my name is Gwynne. I will probably be hanging out in the Safety Break room a lot. I started blowing glass in 1997, worked full time for a few years, took a 7 year break, and have been back at it for 5 years. I've been lurking for a number of years now, so I feel like I know some of you.
