Glasser,
I was just looking at your studio again, and then I went to your PhotoBucket site to see all of your pictures.
Cool.
I admire anyone who takes the time and has the DISCIPLINE to educate themselves, find a good paying job, works hard, lives comfortably, and plans correctly for retirement.
Sounds like you planned...and planned well.
Soon I will be posting a few pictures of the bead station I made for my DWP. (Darling Wifey-Poo). I am also trying my hand at stained glass, and am in the process of gathering all the necessary tools to give it a try.
In regards to the "splash shield" around your grinders: make sure to coat the painted wood on the bottom of the glass with a couple of coats of polyurethane/urethane, and then use silicone sealant to seal the wood to the glass. This will prevent the water from dripping down into the "glass groove" of the wood and cause dry rotting.
Gotta say one more time...n-i-c-e.
Tell your "Better Half" to pat himself on the back!!!
In Christ: Raymond
