Oh yeah...fergot all about Mr. Someday. Poor guy, wonder what he's up to these days. Ah...he's still ranting and raving on one of the beadmaking forums about people using screen names and American politics. I think he's been banned from everyplace else in the glass world. |

You might try coloring in the design with colored pencils before even start cutting glass...sometimes it gives me a better idea as to what the project is going to really look like plus it's a good time to make any changes if need be. *************** Thank you for the suggestion. I finally parted with the cash for a Professional version of Dragonfly's Glass Eye software. It's got pictures of most of the Spectrum and Kokomo glass that can be used to color in the pieces. A great option not available in the standard version. Michael |

My daughter has her bathroom done with a beach and sea theme. She's
got a small octagon window sorta high up so I made a tropical fish window for it. I was installing the window with some quarter-round pine and after the inner pieces were fixed, I put the window in and the first piece of quarter-round to hold it in. The inner pieces I nailed, but these outer pieces I planned on screwing in so that I could remove it occasionally for cleaning. I drove the screw into the trim with my drill and it resisted something fierce but then held. I looked down to get another screw and the trim piece fell off and instinctively I put my hand up to keep the panel from falling out and I broke the skinny long piece that I knew was a serious weakness. Kick me, please. Michael |

Incidentally, if you are interested in seeing what my new window looks
like, cracked et al, here's a link. http://s197.photobucket.com/albums/a...nt=after_1.jpg This is the first window I've put together in many, many years. It looks attractive enough in place, but the workmanship is shabby. I've got some coming up to speed to do. Oh! Something that is of mild interest. The cuts for the fish eyes were cut on my nice new grinder using the 1/4" grinding bit as a drill and then reaming it out a little more. Michael |
