My Daddy Didn't Raise No Fool. Using the Right Tool.


I cut glass. I cut a lot of glass. It's gorgeous glass and I'm always cutting it and firing it in my little kiln. I've got this glass cutting and firing thing down as a routine. Especially now that I've purchased The Right Tool for the Job. That's right, the Mercedes of the glass breaking industry with a name I can't even begin to pronounce. A bit of that fine German engineering right here in my studio.

I'm thrilled. Over the moon jubilant at the ease of use and minimal force used to break even the tiniest of strips with this fabulous Lieber Scnitzel (or something like that) glass cutter. I don't have to speak the language to understand and master the tool. Well, master, not exactly, but looking at the beautiful clean break in the glass pictured above, a nice thick piece of glass, you can say it makes a master out of me.

This sort of trumps my brand new phone line that's now hooked up in my studio. Yeah, that's right, I have my own phone line in here. That's another Right Tool for the Job. No more crackling sounds, breaking up, lost connections out here. No more standing out in the parking lot to get better reception. I now have phone access at my computer in my studio.

Wow.

According to Mr. Howes, all this studio is lacking is a bunk and a pillow. I'm sure he's joking since I don't have indoor plumbing in here yet :o)

You are so right on this, you sound like my hubby- he is really big on buying and getting the right equipment. (He has tons of tools for everything you can imagine!)

Congrats on your new tool. That is SO true the right tools make a difference. It seems like I am always struggling with things because I never have the right tool. Like when I hung pictures in my daughter's room the other day--using a screw driver handle for a hammer! Love your dog's new skull sweater too.

Amazing what the right tool can do, isn't it? Glad you are enjoying your new toys:):)
