Bevels...by the inch

If any of you stained glass people wouldn't mind sharing, I'm wondering
about the going rates for custom bevels. I'm mainly interested in cut-off
prices for now. What's a fair price to have the ends of over-the-counter
bevels re-beveled after they've been cut to fit a pattern? These are
usually 1", 1.5" and 2" strips. Is this handled like custom curved
beveling - i.e., by the inch? Do these prices vary much regioinally? I'm
in SW Florida.

Your feedback much appreciated.

What quantities? How fast of service? That may alter the prices you have
to pay.
I get $2.00 inch....but I "mostly" only bevel to make replacement pieces for
repairs.

Now that I have a video tape, that is. :)

$2 / inch sounds pretty good to me.

I'm doing a couple dozen at a time, with a two day turnaround.

Three days if I've been goofing off, watching this wierd videotape I
traded for Beefeaters instead of working.

well, Beefeaters can't be better than a fine bottle of wine and/or a
check... ?? then again perhaps the right video could help me pass the time
till they arrive... m

Are you a beveler? Or are you wanting to have some done?

J -

I'm beveling. Not on a full-time commercial scale (I worked a college
summer in a midwest beveling sweatshop and didn't much care for being
chained to that wheel), but as a portion of my leaded / etched / carved art
glass business. Bought the gear just to add custom pieces to my own work,
but quickly found other glassworkers at my door.

You should have gotten the check by now. Let me know if it doesn't come
today or tomorrow. I can send another...

As to the whine....well, I carefully dehydrated it to save on shipping
costs. Just add 750 ml. of cold water to the contents of the envelope and
enjoy.

You are taking in homeless glassworkers?

You are taking in homeless glassworkers?

Yes, it's true. They're more polite and less depressed, in general, than
the watercolor artists I used to house.

But now I can never find the band-aids. And I've had to put a lock on the
liquor cabinet.

Plus, yesterday one of them copper foiled a nice loaf of sliced rye bread my
wife had just brought home. Think he used 7/32" foil, which helped avoid
that heavy, over-leaded look we see so often.

OK, with that sense of humor, are you anywhere nearTampa?
