My husband and sons would much rather buy me welding gloves, hoses, BBQ tanks and other assorted tools than other things. They were ecstatic when I started requesting glass equipment and they could go buy my stuff at the local hardware store. This year, they got me Val Cox frit and her book. Still better than clothes etc. But now we're going to have to get into the serious money because I need the decent ventilation, and I want to start working with the silver glasses, foil and wire...
I still wouldn't have any glass set-up, but I received a small inheritance and spent some of it on my kiln and starter kit.
