Default Other glass crafts ......?

Now I have delurked I would be curious to know if there are other sand
carvers out there.

For my part my glass engraving evolved from a wholesale crystal & glass
distribution business to specialising in the field of personalised crystal
for awards, prizes, presentations etc.

My current set up is:

Siphon blast cabinet married to a
PAB Blaster pressure pot & PAB gun (I think I am the first in the UK /
Ireland to import one of these systems)
Vacuum bed UV exposure unit
Photobrasive UltraPro Blue self adhesive 4mm
occasional use of Photobrasive RapidMask
home made washout unit which recycles the water
4 shelf stencil drier
Artwork prepared in CorelDraw 12

All pretty standard stuff but it has served me well without being too
capital demanding.

I am seriously looking at a new cabinet (ref 2034) from Rayzist so if
anyone has any thoughts on this unit I would certainly welcome your input.
Such systems appear to be quite expensive here in Europe.

As my father says (jokingly I hope) 'I scratch glass for a living'. What
do you do?

Later ....

Hello David. I'm Don in Ohio. Amateur basement bandit here. I have a
homemade cabinet and a TPtools pressure pot. I use it for stained glass
effects and for decorative etching. I don't carve deep very often.
