Part 3 of Mike's story of Swiss Cheesed Glasswerks
alternatively titled- IT'S NOT JUST
SAND, SODA ASH, LIME AND SOME OTHER STUFF
I
forced the Great Glass Makers of Swiss Cheesed Glass to use my source of lime
for their glass production. This is the world's most expensive lime and costs
thousands of dollars per pound and tastes great. When you run your hands over
a sheet of Swiss Cheesed made with this lime you will experience the vibe of
this high powered ingredient. Because we are what we cut it is important to
cut only the highest quality glass. Remember, when you cut Swiss Cheesed
Glass you are affirming your direct connection to our brother and sister
artists in the cave. ...to be continued

find out that it's mostly all fusible- link to PDF here.
Mike and Sam have been playing with this great glass for awhile now and find
it amazing especially for slumping. Check out our display samples.

Looking for his hidden stash of Sesame Snaps, Mikey
trips across a box of new W100 soldering irons. Decides to put them on sale at $65.00, but not until the
month of October, 2004 (seems
Sam plans on enjoying watching Mike trip over the box for the next three
months)(while supplies last)! (Mikey's
got a photographic memory. He just doesn't have any film...Ed).

Arrival of our biggest glass order ever from Bullseye
Glass. Wow did we go crazy or what?! Feast on over 3500 lbs of hand cast
art/fusing glass from this amazing company. We've got fusible pinks and
fusible purples. We've got wild new ring mottles. We've got
fracture/streamers and Berry

and stringers and...

A factory fresh shipment of tools and grinder heads from GAM arrives. Mikey ordered too many ¾" grinder heads- Sam decides
to put them on sale at an
amazing $19.99 but not until November (remember the box thing from before?
It still applies…Sam He Is)! These heads will fit all Glastar
and Inland grinders and with out a doubt are the best value on the market.
