Storage for Glass

[Stacy]

Blimey - That's so neat and pretty.

Oooh I recognise those drawers.
I've liked them for  while and maybe now have an excuse - sorry,reason....to get them.

How neat!

Where are they from?  I can think of a couple of places round the house where they'd be useful, apart from glass (*is* there anything else apart from glass? ).

Cheers,

Oh goodness... IKEA... yes, it's fab, but always crowded (at least the nearest one to us always is) and I can never stop at buying "just a couple of things"

We have piping here that's supposed to be used in fences. Someone here (in the US) buys a ton and her husband cleans and cuts it. It's very handy. If I could find it at my local DIY store I would get mine there but I can't so I have ordered it from her. Here's what it looks like:

Here is a photo of my frit towers. I ordered it from a lampworker here (her husband makes them):

OMG Allie, I'm jealous! Of your set-up and your stock! How do you ever get round to picking colours to work with? I'd just sit there and drool over them

That glass storage is similar to what I use, just more of it!
i do like those frit towers though

That's my main glass organizer. I have my 104 glass in there. The 'good stuff' (silver glass) takes 3 rows and the rest is Vetrofond, Moretti, Lauscha, CIM, ASK and fillgranas etc.

What I find a little overwhelming (since I started on soft glass) is trying to keep all my stuff apart. My work table has three ice trays (the ones that make ice for bottles) filled with stringer. When I work Boro I make some stringer up and then have to keep it away from my hand pulled 104 stuff. I have 96 COE glass that I have yet to use because I am concerned that I will mix THAT up with the 104 and the 33. I need to organize it all (the 33 and 96 glass) and then find a way of working with all the glas types without ever getting anything mixed up. Or, perhaps, I should just stick to one type!!!!

Allie,
I really really love your frittowers.

I was going to say that Colette has square tubes, I think it looks fab...had a chuckle at the slightly bowed shelves   & those frit towers look fab too

[Dragonfire Glass]

My stringers are all mixed up.
My memory isn't good enough for remembering what is what unless its immediately identifiable!

The 2m pipes from B+Q cost me less than £2 each. Pretty good value.

That's what I'm wanting to get.  Maybe I can get James down there over the weekend so he can see how cheap it is 

Just show him the web page Billie......

What do you use to cut the pipes with?
