Okay, okay! I admit it it.....I'm a lurker. I feel better already.

I keep an eye on the topics although, as a glass engraver (sand carving) specialising in small crystal / glass awards etc, I work in a slightly different area of 'glass' and wouldn't class myself as a craftsman as such.

I enjoy some of the technical discussions although I am far from familiar with the terminology.

Some of the threads about business, the up & downs, changing tastes, market conditions, how we survive etc I can certainly relate to. These apply just as much to an engraver like me as glass workers.

The one thing that I have learnt over the years is that if you do a good job and maintain high standards then there is just a chance you might get repeat work. On the other hand do a bad job and ...... you know the rest.

To the regular posters - keep up the good work and thanks for your lively threads.

To the lurkers - Move aside folks, I'm coming home ..........

I've been lurking for years. I make stained glass things as a hobby and give them to my family and once or twice to a friend. I don't sell anything and never will. This is a good time to thank all you regulars for all your helpful tips I've used over the years. Norma
