A Busier Night Than Expected
Jessie came in with a friend so she could show her just how glass is cut. She then finished cutting out all of her horse and decided to grind it at home rather than doing it during class. Having a grinder at home will enable her to get more done with less class time. 
Jessie boxed all her pieces before I could get a picture of her finished work so I took the liberty of doctoring up her picture from last week so you can get an idea of what has been done tonight. The hard part of her window is behind her now.
Christine came back and finished grinding the rest of her Magnolia window. She brought her Aunt along so she, like Jessie’s friend, could see exactly what it was Christine does while she’s at class. With the grinding all behind her, Christine is practically finished with her window. She took it home with her to wrap so she can begin soldering next week. This window may just be finished during her next class!
Cheryl brought her husband, Joey, with her this week and he watched, fascinated at the steps that he saw his wife and his daughter Danielle go through. I just checked my email and it looks like he’ll be in again tonight to start his own set of classes. Apparently he really likes the Mickey Mouse Window we have hanging in the shop and that will be his first project.
Cheryl finished cutting out all of her cross and then finished grinding it. She would have taken it home with her but she’ll be back in Wednesday night so she will wrap it here instead of at home. Cheryl’s pattern involves cutting four rectangle bevels and she did it with ease. Note the way each of the 4 bevels come to a point toward the center of her cross. This project will be finished tomorrow night and then she’ll begin working on a window involving a camper.
Danielle didn’t waste any time tonight. Her Parrot window is moving right along. She has a lot of pieces in her window so she won’t be finishing hers tomorrow evening but when it’s finished she’ll be very pleased at what the extra effort adds to her window. She’s making great progress. Here’s what she’s accomplished so far.
And that was it for our rainy Tuesday night class.
