Pick me - I never win anything.

Digital edition ONLINE ok for read and toss. I want either the magazine or a PDF that I can download and keep on MY computer and not risk a provider changing their mind in 6 months or a year. Don't like flash. Cant mark or highlight pages I want to come back to. Printing is a pain.

If you are offering free viewing to suscribers - ok - to pay for this "service" - no way

I detest the whole concept of digital only from the providers web sites. So many poorly executed catalogs from commercial providers that must be driving business away rather than attracting it. I refuse to scan through 60 pages to get to the article I want to read or the product I was interested in buying.

That's my opinion and worth every cent you paid for it.

Try to set up your work so that when you score the glass, you do it in one continuous operation. Stopping part way and then trying to restart in the same score (almost impossible) can leave a ragged edge in places. At least that's the way I was taught. A continuous score snaps easily - a restarted or repeated score can run away on you.

I do all my scoring/breaking on/over a .5 inch plastic grid (as used in some fluorescent lights). Mine sits on a light box and catches all the glass slivers that are generated during a day's cutting.

Stained glass is a good hobby - teaches patience
