Fdd2blk-

I just had another brainquake and came up with some AWESOME glass ideas. :idea:

(PM me if you want to know more) I think it is even patentable, ( I have one already, others pending). So I know a few things there.

GREAT glasswork you have there! :clap:

these are the best on the market. even the small ones can crank out some heat. you will need a kiln as well. i have a small one for sale in 2 weeks. i paid 600 for it brand new, ...

i took a couple hours of one-on-one here and there, mostly self taught. i have stuff in 3 shops here in town so i'm doing alright. i could do better if i worked a little harder. bongsmilie

hey FDD small idea for you that I bet some others will be interested in.

do your crazy color designs in a glass plate. every stoner needs a plate to put their ground bud or chop some up etc. so I just think now that your glass style has been well established, you can make these FDD signature plates that look all cool and tripy. I'd buy one haha.

Thanks for the info! I'm still not sure what you need the kiln for, but I'll study up. It also looks like what I want to do with glass has not been done yet, so it may not even be possible (or attempted yet) I HATE being ahead of the curve... :-|

you need to kiln to keep everything from cracking. it has to be "annealed".

Yeah im sure id buy a nice glass tray. sounds like a cool idea if its not to hard

poplars · Mar 3, 2010

shouldn't be too hard. just will use a moderate amount of glass so I wont be surprised if they're slightly spendy.

yeah you know I love people who act like this.

just an idea. you can be arrogant about every idea you come across or you can acknowledge when it's somewhat decent.

obviously you're picking the first one. so I"ll just hold back my ideas, as you want everyone else to.
