Good morning everyone! I am in the process of determining where to put my "workspace". I have what might appear to be a "dumb" question, but I have been told...
My grinder has a water reservoir in the base that I fill from a gallon jug of water I keep under my grinder table. None of my tools are actually plumbed to...
Thank you sooooooo much! That is exactly what I was hoping! The bathroom is next to the room that I want to put my workspace, so I think that will work out...
When you do small pieces you can easily use your bathroom sink. If the pieces are very large, you may want to do your rinses out side with a water hose. I...
I see. I will mainly be working with small peices to start with. When I get to the point of doing larger ones, I will have hubby build me a studio. I will...
Just so that you "know" I have been rinsing my glass grinder out in my garden area for a long time. The smallish glass bits keep the snails away (I always...

That is a great tip Arlene. I wear gloves when I garden so if I picked out the large pieces I'd be ok. I live in the country so there aren't alot of "rules"...

That is a very old remedy. Works like a champ. My grandmother had slugs so bad, but wouldn't allow beer on the place, so she would go around with a salt can...
I carry it in my store and most stained glass dealers do. If you don't have a dealer near-by you can go to my website. Here is a direct link, it's about...
