PEX & GLASS


The 'Jigger'. When you finally get one, it's hard to let go.


The hydronic, (aka 'PEX' or 'Rehau'), heating pipe is amazingly robust and bendable. Many doomsayers have insisted that i would end up with a big knot. I can see how that may happen, but it didn't happen to me. The same jigger and wire ties hold down the pipe to the steel. Time for glass and a lesson it it from Merinda & Graham at Tudor Rose Glass. Going to Kingston is a scary business, but not this time. We come away with knowledge and a cuppla hundred dollars of beautiful mixed glass to ponder and smash.
Channelling Paul Boam from 2D design class, we "PUSH IT 'ROUND, PUSH IT 'ROUND".
There is a lot to the glass business. We have learned that any old glass won't necessarily hold up to a grind and polish. Thanks for the marbles offer Wendy, but don't lose them yet!
