Popped my glass pushing cherry

Hello,

Thicker glass sounds nice, with my 25mm I'm happy to go to 12", but the 16" at 25mm has me doubtful... When I get half an idea I may feel differently.

I have just popped my glass pushing cherry, got the table built and the glass tool beveled to 1-2mm. After nearly 3 hours I have a nice little bubble of trapped air in the center of the glass which I am pretty happy about.

Hopefully now that I am starting to make a wider contact between surfaces it will progress a lot quicker. On #120 grit it does seem to take a long time to get started as a complete newb.

But happy I've started, see what the next 3 hours gives me, hopefully a measurable curve!!!


Steve
