my hat off to the one that build with wood glass is so easy i think it take me forever to do one out of wood i have to make wood parts for some of the cars I rebuild lot of fire wood with glass just cut and redo some try to make it hard than it is Hell some can sell a finish trailer then make the mold then the buck and learn how to do glass i wish i was that smart i had to learn how to do glass first.

Have you read the whole thread yet Madjack. Seems to me that everyone is playing nice. But what would I know, I read things complete (sometimes twice). Haven't seen any rocks thrown yet. Have seen the pot being stirred. :lol:

Have a good day.

I love it when someone can't come back with a quick responce. Instead they go running to the teacher. It must be an age thing. They only know how to speed read so they get a totally different meaning from the posting. That's to bad, just can't have any fun, life has become so serious for so many. Why they are even building a teardrop is beyond me, they would be more happy in a large motorhome. At least that's what I read. Think about it.

Have a good day.

When the title "Pot Stirrer" was given, it was a joke. At least I can take a joke and didn't mind it a bit.
