Re: October Gold Leaf Workshop, Boise, Idaho
Apologies for being metaphysical (it's a scan), but I wasn't given anything else to go off. I should mention that shop monkeys bear no responsibility for misuse of homophones, although they may bare their teeth when riled. Alas, I have little information but endless speculation. For the real deal, ...

Pool table light
You guys are such an inspiration to me, I've ordered a bunch of stuff to make a (hopefully) really cool light for above my pool table.

Re: Questions concerning fonts...
I have Copper Penny and I like it.
I still haven't had the right project to use it, but I always seem to consider it.

Re: One of my old sign kits
Hello everyone. I've been lurking here for awhile now, and I must say a lot of the glass etching/guilding stuff goes WAY over my head. I hope to eventually learn that stuff though.
