Creative Laser Wood Cutting

If you're ever in Vermont (anywhere, everything in the state is close) the Simon Pearce glassworks is worth visiting. Being the EE, I was fascinated by their hydro dam-) and generators in the basement.

Vermont's claims to fame are maple syrup and Bernie Sanders. ;-)

Being a woodworker and engineer, I think you’d be fascinated by the Forest Canopy Walk at the VIN’s Nature Center in Quechee, VT. An amazing combination of form and function. The view from the Tree House is stunning.

My daughter lived in Rutland for a few years. School Social Worker during the week, ski instructor at Killington on weekends. Not a bad gig.

And I don't think that they are red in color either. <ore dark brown. ;~)

Those are pretty cool. My wife, son, and I were in Corning back in

I have a Red Heeler mix . It's really more of a reddish brown.

As there are cattle with the reddish coloration, it's not hard to imagine that the buffalo are also subject to variations in coat color.

I believe that a little creative license is allowed when it comes to logos. ;-)

You can watch a live stream of the Hot Shop during normal "open" hours.

So they pulled it out, did some stuff to it, put it back in, pulled it out, did stuff, put it back, etc. etc. Then they put it back it in and it literally exploded as soon as it passed through the glory hole. The main presenter calmly turned around and said "And that's what happens if you wait too long."

They started over again and in few minutes had created a beautiful glass sculpture.

Well, since it's ~24 hours from Houston to Corning, I guess the additional

Huh. My son and DIL live about 10-15 miles from Quechee. Her parents live there. I haven't been back since the October BC (Before Covid).

I'll have to ask if that's what they were talking about. We may have bought them an annual pass. That's not my end of the marriage business. ;-)

From '93 to '07 we lived in Essex, one of the Burlington suburbs. ;-) I worked for IBM during the week and froze my shorties off on the weekends. After I was retired, we moved where they don't know what a snow shovel is for. It does make a dandy long-handled dust pan.

That sounded sexual. ;~0

I visited only a few years ago. I think there are 2 "hot glass" theatres where glass blowing is demonatrated. The piece is given away at the end by raffle.

"Simon Pearce Glassworks" in Vermont has a few glass blowers most of the time. It's interesting to see them work together. When one needs help, the other is right there. It looks choreographed. Everything they sell is hand blown. There is nothing cheap in the place. Even the seconds are pricey.

There's seems to be an echo here. ;-)

An ether echo?
