I know them very well. We started out in business about the same time, and they had a retail store up here 20 miles from me for many years, until they went wholesale and moved to Florida. Say hi to big Jim for me. -- Huh? I thought GlassCrafters is in Houston, TX. |

"Michael" wrote in message ps.com... Jim asked: Mind if I ask who you use? ************** Not at all! I've made two online glass buys now, both from GlassCrafters. I'm not a big fan of 12"x12" pieces. They are too small. I made an 11" x 18" Victorian floral recently that has several pieces longer than 12", so it doesn't take a big window to make 12x12 pieces too small. Some online glass stores sell nothing any bigger than 12x12, but GlassCrafter's large sheets come in either 16x24 or sometimes as small 16x18, but both those sizes will generally accomodate the windows I am making. They have a flat-rate $10 boxing fee for the large size. The box for the large sheets will hold 12 pieces. I always try to order 12 so that I'm spreading the boxing fee out the most. GlassCrafters also seems to always be having some kind of across-the-board special. My first order was free shipping. My second order was 10% off. My first order arrived with zero broken pieces. My second one had the outside sheet broke into two pieces. It didn't bother me much. Totally useable. Please bear in mind that I am a newbie and have only bought online from GlassCrafters, so there's no reason to think that there aren't better places out there. Another reason I like GlassCrafters is that they have a hardcopy catalog. I get tired of browsing online, and I can make notes and dogtag pages and circle items in the catalog. I can also call in an order and ask them questions while I'm ordering. They are very patient and happy to help. Good luck, Michael I use these folks http://warner-criv.com/ but they are online and my new home has sloooooooow dialup. How do I contact GlassCrafters? I'd love to have a hardcopy catalog! Jim |

For every $100 you send me I'll send you $300 worth of assorted books and patterns. that sounds like a good deal, depending how current your selections are. got any Tiffany at Auction books by Alastair Duncan? What do you have to sell in that line? Don't you have 50 of those in the attic?
