Damn parfive. I gonna have to get me a glass replica of the 10 point buck horns hood mounted on the Georgia monster pick up truck. Ole Enzo would have a fit. Even better a Shelby Cobra hood ornament. Enzo never did care too much when Mr. Shelby ate his lunch with his hands tied behind his back by factory Ford. |

That video made me a little nostalgic. I think I can make a horse or unicorn in my sleep I made so many. However, what I did was radically different. Boro glass cools way too fast to work like that. We basically work IN the flame and generally never use a glory hole. But, watching the video, I see a lot is very similar, too. Lunchtime was fun. We got to make what we wanted. I made a big brontosaurus for my grandson when he was young. Broken now, of course. I even got to blow some boro. That's what the pipe makers do. They are the ones who pushed the envelope with color. If it weren't for them, boro glass colors would be few and far between.

It worked well, we get to see your cabs and magnificent wraps. |

It worked well, we get to see your cabs and magnificent wraps. It was brutal, but I didn't stay in production long. I became my own dept fixing broken stuff. Much better. The end was when me and the owner had a disagreement. I loved what I was doing. I just despised the company and some of the stuff they did. |

Darn humans can mess up a good thing rockjunquie. Your talent is incredible. The world just doesn't make good sense sometimes. |
