Glass Hangers

Post by Sarah King »

Just to let you know - I thought the glass hangers Rick used to have were such a great idea that I have been making them myself and they are now available at http://www.angelgilding.com. Two styles, two sizes and four colors/metals. They are one way to hang glass without spending big bucks for a frame.

Also drilling glass can be very frustrating unless you have a drill press so I invented a template/dam that holds the drill in place and holds the coolant around the drill. Even if you have a drill press you still need to keep the coolant directed at the drill so it works for that too. The back is a kind of Post-It note type thing - you can stick it down, drill, dry it off and stick it down again. The one I have is for a 1/4 inch hole but I hope to have different sizes available soon.

So that's my infomercial - with Mike Jackson's approval.

Wishing you all the best for the holiday season!!
