What does this have to do with wood turning?? I have turned about a dozen bottle stoppers, turned one lidded vessel using the Beall Tool Co method.

I am going to use these little lamp glass beads as finials and decorations on the bottle stoppers and lidded vessels.

I am taking a class this fall at the J-Ring Glass Studio in St Paul.

I love to watch the glass artists. I wish there was a cheap way to get into the glass blowing end of it. Good luck on your venture. I join the others in being anxious to see the results.
 
That will make a great use of mixed mediums Ted! :thumb:

Back when I did quite a bit of stained glass I was trying to get my wife into bead making. She and my daughter used to make a lot of jewelry together. I signed her up for the class and the night of, she was not feeling well, so I got to take the class instead. Had a lot of fun doing it and found it to be rewarding, I'm sure you'll enjoy it as well.
