Query about glass cutting

I have enough glass for all 87 windows. I don't mind paying someone labour for their work(it looks like I may be getting the work done in exchange for an Aussie holiday so that's a win/win in my book). As you can probably imagine I want to save some money by not purchasing something that I already have in spades.

obviously I was OK

Now we know more, and more is better.

I, although a traveling glass guy, am not coming to SA to do this, but you, or some unemployed local guy, can do this with only a bit of practice, so sacrifice one hunk, maybe something already broken, to practice on.

Do you have the jambs/frames for the glass to go in? Do you have everything for the windows except the glass? Talk to one of the local glaziers employees and have him teach you lad a bit of the technique needed to cut them into panes. From this position behind my desk, I have no idea how these panes will need to be set into the frames, but none, of this is tough to do, merely time consuming.

If I were in your position, I would spend an afternoon, sitting in my car near enough to see the local glaziers boys leaving shop, (the owner sets the rules, the employees always can use an extra dollar whatever that looks like), catch him at a traffic light, offer to buy him a pint and tell him your dilemma, maybe you can get it done on an off day.

Now isn't this an easier way to get an answer. and for a ticket over, a place to stay, and a couple extra dollars, I'll still do it, but not naked, that wouldn't be a pretty sight.

Have you noticed Michelle has stayed out of the naked glass cutting discussion? Drat.

Part of the problem is that a glazier with plenty of work doesn't need you because part of his profit is his markup on the glass he sells you. Now if you can find a glazier in need of work you can probably strike a good deal. As Javahut suggested, finding somebody who works in a glazing shop and would like to pick up a few extra bucks on the weekend is a good bet.

Tell us more about this "Aussie Holiday" thing.

I've always wanted to see Australia.... and I'm a superior glass cutter. Not to mention the fact that I was one of the few here that didn't rip your post! Is that brown nosed enough for that RT ticket?

If you are gonna be working in a thong...maybe we ought to be getting a group rate. That lime green thong will certainly attract lots of attention.

I hear they have a particularly nice thong in Australia called a "Wicked Weasel" wonder if it lives up to its name, any comments, including this one are WAYYY of topic, just wishful thinking from the land of ice and snow....

Would you settle for Utah? The thong skiing season starts in a couple of months.

It was lime green? Didn't even notice.

This is what an aussie thinks of when you ask him about thongs

ER, thong.. thing.... sometimes if you mention "it" I think of it.... sometimes my fingers don't go where they should on the keyboard too.

Hot pink!

"Moonraker" . That lime green thong will certainly attract lots of attention.

How about a thong for men? Called the "banana hammock".

Thanks.... that got this oldtimer to sit upright!

Numnumnumnumnum.
