Like, ya know, when that thing that makes you move, it has pistons and things, When your thingamajigy is providing power, you do not hear other peoples thingamajig when they are providing power.

Well how about that. I had been skipping this thread.

Glad I had more time today. That, my friend, is very slick.

WOW how did you get the glass to fuse back together so well without catching the wooden ship on fire... :neener:

Seriously very cool that you can do that. I honestly would NEVER have had the time, patience or ability to do that.

My uncle used to do that for a living, he was one of only 10 or so in the world that did back in the 70's, 80's, and early 90's. He started in the 60's I think, I remember visiting his house in the 70's and he must have had 1000's of bottles and glass things to put ships in. He even used to put them in light bulbs.

He's in his 80's now, neither of his sons bother, and those 50 years of knowledge will pass with him.
