I finally went and purchased bead release from ArrowSprings. It has been something that has been gnawing at the back of my mind for awhile.
I'll spend some of this weekend getting the basic set-up done and checking all the equipment out.
Some things I've purchased and never had installed:
A new kiln (woo hoo) - A larger desktop kiln means more beads can be made safely
There are other tools and such that need to be utilized.
All-in-all, I should have fun.
Next thing I need to purchase, a new TV with a DVD player. This will allow me to do watch whatever I want when making glass stuff. This will probably be purchased in February.
