JB, you really inspired me with your lampshade. I've never worked with glass and was really excited at the thought of trying it when drifting off to sleep last night. Really I was!

But, after Youtubing and seeing what's involved, my trigger fingers and lack of strength would protest too much, but more importantly I've no proper working area here. Not even room for a good solid table. How sad is that? It's not the sort of thing I can do on my knees really is it?

But all is not lost, at least you've sparked my brain back into gear (and made me add another bummer to the list of why I made a BIG mistake buying this place).
