At Last! A brand new supply of 1.5 & 1.35mm Schott B270i crown glass. Ordered before Christmas. Shipped via sea freight from Hamburg to NY, then by truck from NY to Oakland. It barely fit through the front gate. Each 22 x 35" sheet had to be carried up stairs one at a time.

Each sheet is laid out on a grid ...

...and reduced to smaller, more manageable pieces. Full sheets are quite vulnerable.

A test batch of 50mm convex blanks. No problems and easily workable.

This is the first finished crystal from this batch. My first time using 1.35mm and I think it makes the perfect mid weight crystal. Schott B270i is outstanding material!

William, Looking forward to perhaps a special for 185 at that great price of $90 per dozen? Regardless I am standing by for four dozen.

It is such a pleasure to go to the drawer, pull out a White's crystal and drop it in for a perfect friction fit.

We are a lucky bunch indeed to have you close by.

Phil,

Someone else here was asking if I'd do a promotion on these. I told him that it was unlikely, but I did add that if I was able to get everything up the stairs and safely processed without incident, that my mood may change. As it turns out, I experienced zero breakage and my first batch in the kiln came out perfect. In addition, the finished look is beyond compare ...and I am beyond pleased.

So will I share the love? Sure, why not? So for 1 week only, $10.00 each any quantity. After that, they'll reside at $12.00. I can't offer these at $90.00 per dozen, nice try though! Smile

Here's a link to the official promotion: HERE
