In our ongoing pursuit of how to waste time and seem to be accomplishing something, we decided to do a second batch of Flex-Tec trials with a drop test on coated and uncoated glass.
It's very cool to watch. Once again, you can find Flex-Tec on the site for sale here
Here's a video we did of one of our first Flex-Tec trials. We figured we'd go all out and just shoot the glass. We were very impressed with the results. You can purchase Flex-Tec through our website. We hope to have some FAQs together for it soon also.
A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store but she couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy, 'Do these turkeys get any bigger?' The stock boy replied, 'No ma'am, they're dead.'

Attempting the occasional peregrination, just for grins
If you have a good joke, photo or story that you would like to have me share here please email it to me at: bob@hisglassworks.com And note that if your joke is off color it may not be posted. Also, if it pokes fun at any particular group or people the subject MAY be changed to 'glassblowers'. So, instead of being a blond joke, it may become be a 'fairheaded glassblower' joke. But if it is not really disrespectful the original wording may remain.
These peregrinations are just for fun and hopefully a laugh will be shared or perhaps just an interesting photo or thought. And, as always, there may be serious posts added here as well, so you will never know what you might find.
So with the Christmas season upon us, so are vendor closings and our own holiday schedule.

You can still order online, or via the phone, email or fax, but we will not process orders after December 21st and nothing will ship until January 2nd.
We will resume our normal operating schedule on January 2nd.Â
