List of technical vendors?

Key holders?? Ok that got my interest, got a picture?

Well, I've always struggled with posting images here on ISGB forum, but you can refer to the "only" 43 page thread on LE about the most awesome tools on the planet for lampworking.

Here is the link: http://www.lampworketc.com/forums/sh...ona+key+holder

Go to page 34 and see post 997. There are several images I took of how it looks with the keys. I use it primarily for the medium to larger keys. The small keys I use still the hemostat or the Carlo Dona holder for copper wire that can also be great for holding stringer for application.

What I do when I get into production mode with the key holder, is take a break between keys, to allow the tool to cool down a little. That little tab for release can get hot. It's a wonderful tool, because it allows you to just drop the finished key-bead into the kiln and continue working instead of holders that screw onto the key and have to stay in the kiln the whole time after one use.

The spring action on these puppies is super holder! Roberto didn't fall far from the tree when he followed his dad in being very inovative and listens to what the market needs and wants.

Ofilia -

If you send me the image(s) via email, I will post them here for you. For some reason, I can't get on LE. Been so long since I last tried, I probably have my password or name or something wrong. But I will be glad to post pictures here for you.

I don't see Bullseye Glass on the list. I was really hoping for a freaky streaky pack and to grab some of the odds I didn't know were so gorgeous until I saw them in the flesh.

Susan, Bullseye is sponsoring Sam Hibler's class and sending some other things. They are very involved, just not specifucally as a Technical Vendor this year. We are so happy and grateful to have their support!

I may have to sneak out and just go there! I'll be on east coast time, what time do they open? lol. Early morning road trip anyone?

[nicker]

OH OH OH do a bullseye trip on a day I can go please? I think if you phone ahead and have 6 or more people they'll do a tour.

[Kendra Bruno]

It woud be a great trip - the Bullseye facility is awesome and Portland is such a terrific city! It's about a 2.5 to 3 hour drive one way from Bellevue (depending upon traffic and speed).

That would be awesome. I would love to see how they make glass and the fusing things they do are amazing. I'll make a call tomorrow and see if it's possible. I'm thinking we would go early in the morning because somehow I want to fit Seattle into my trip too. Geesh, it's going to be a whirlwind tour, lol.

[nicker]

2.5 to three hours! Oh my I didn't realize that, Suzy is there a day we even have that much time off? LOL

[susan sheehan]

Thursday all we have is later in the day for the General membership meeting. If we did a tour at 10 and left by 1 we could get back in time for the general membership meeting with a little time to spare. So what's more important. Doing Seattle or Bullseye?
