I believe the shift towards kilnforming and torchworking will
continue.


Sure makes me wonder why you don't have any in-stock glass for sale,
then.
Or why you aren't an authorized dealer for torches or safety glasses.

You are a puss-filled scab on the ass of society.


Wherever I'm positioned, I'll be there doing profitable business years
after you've closed shop.



Your delusions are centered at the intersection of ignorance and arrogance,
D-anus.

I don't get it. Even a 5 year old child knows when he is being made fun of,
and feels unloved when every one is laughing at him. Besides going crying
to Mom, every child knows when it is best to back off and leave off trying
to get attention when his company is unwanted! D"B, don't you get it? you
are a flaming ignoramus spouting beatific bull**** to a board where
everyone KNOWS that for what it is!!!!!! why don't you go back to your sand
box?? Leave the adults to have meaningful conversations.m


It's a mental disease, Michele.

Megalomania (from the Greek word ???????????) is a psychopathological
condition characterized by delusional fantasies of wealth, power, genius, or
omnipotence - often generally termed as delusions of grandeur. The word is a
collaboration of the word "mania" meaning madness and the Greek "megalo"
meaning an obsession with grandiosity and extravagance, a common symptom of
megalomania. It is sometimes symptomatic of manic or paranoid disorders.

T'was I Michael.

It scares me, in a sense, that everyone's gathering around the kiln
and beading torch.

I can see the major glass manufacturers developing and expanding
thier lines of fusing glass at the expense of the traditional glass
lines we foilers and camers use.

Yes, we can use the fusible glass in our leads and foils, but
generally speaking, we pay a premium for using the fusible glass, at
least up here in Ontario. Just compare the price per ft. of Spectrum
sp200 and SP200f.

Bullseye has stopped producing thier stippled (?) glass in favour
of producing more fusing glass. I just hope that doesn't set the pace
for other manufacturers.

Don't get me wrong. The wife has two kilns and does a lot of
simple type projects. Hell, I saved close to $400 last summer on my
tiffany Dragonfly lamp by fusing my own bead set. Grin, I actually
enjoyed doing it and tried a few small projects of my own.

But, it isn't, to me at least, as enjoyable as our more traditional
way of doing glass. Grin, hell, if it ain't got any lead in it, it
ain't stained glass! If it don't take a month to make, it ain't worth
hangin' in the window.

Just my two cents worth . . .


Love the shake and bake tag. Going to throw that at the better
half next time she's in the glass room with me. Can I pass the blame
on to you?

I don't remember what the thread was, but someone mentioned that
traditional leaded glass work appears to be in decline with a growing
popularity in baking it. I got a Bullseye catalog today in the mail
and the truth in that statement is verified by the emphasis in their
catalog. Shake and bake.

i agree, but the fact that most hobbyists are going to fusing (shake and
bake ;) creates more of a demand for us old world masters of traditional
foil/came. The fewer of us continuing the tradition, the higher the demand
(and the price!) No matter what anyone may claim, there is still, and always
will be a market for traditional stained glass windows! m

Go right ahead. My motto is deny it all, kicking and screaming, all
the way to the electric chair.
