A note for new builders
« on: May 11, 2012, 12:32:00 PM »
an artist friend of mine sent me this after he patiently listened to me bitch how all the bows I've been making aren't what I hoped they'd be.  I have this hanging on the wall above my work bench.

Outstanding.  Just stole to print out copies for posting throughout the house.

Excellent. Your friend did us all a good turn. Think I'll print that off and post it in my classroom.

That is awesome.  Describes my bow building experience perfectly.  I am still at the "Do a lot of work" stage!

When I first started glass bows I asked Chuck a bunch of questions and he told me basically the same thing, you got to make a ton of bows to get good at it and make every mistake at least a couple of times and he is right and I keep plugging away.
