Demo’s the next post up and I thought it went very well. Of course, I mixed and tamped and pounded and pinched a nice big meaty pate de verre bowl in reds and saffrons that probably won’t see a kiln until September but…

How was the Demo. Awesome I hope and I hope you enjoyed some of the hard work in doing a demo. It can be draining for sure. I think after we did the Demo Days for the Portland Oregon Glass Guild, I slept for days. (or did I , I was sooo tired it was all a blurr) Les

OH DEAR!!!!!!! I could sure help you out with cuss words as remember when we invented a few with the demise of the relay switchs while I was there. ughghghg!!! I am so sorry for your difficult time BUT good for the students to know that sometimes thing go sideways. Not that we want to know that , but that it can happen to the best of us. Hope the demo went well anyways. Les

Big bummer! /well this will get you on your way to a new kiln and that is not all bad. Just the timing is not ok.

Oh, blush. What cusswords? The ones I used during the GAS auction? Naaaaaah…nowhere NEAR strong enough.

Anyway, I’m not going to waste time and money on new relays for this thing, so it’s adios Skutt, hello, whatever. And I need to figure out a way to move two completely dried out molds to a new kiln…which will necessitate even more new cusswords, I suspect.

The closer you are to a demo, the more things get weird. Works for software, works for glass.

Gee, I dunno, the cusswords I’ve heard you use are pretty spectacular in their own right. Let’s see… I think I know of a relation of your that might, just might, have some ones you haven’t heard of yet. MilSpec quality cusswords.
