Lenny..whats happening Man??? How are ya...oh yeah they are Coffee beans...the problem i had with inlaying them for like restaurant type deals is that you hafta flip them over so you see the crease in the coffee bean...if you dont they look like Critter droppings...no good for the food industry..hahahaha

it sucked. It looked nice but i did it twice...and BTW the white SS edge is Lumistone..gotta go get pics at night this week..

Thanx Joe, I think if it wasnt for weird inlays I would be struggling...I guess its so hard to go into Home depot and request coffee beans, broken mirror and glass to inlayed in their glowing edges..,the HD sales rep would be..but thanx again for the compliment

Not sure what to say. I believe that I can fabricate most anything, but can't design anything to save my life.

It is so unique, the word of mouth advertising your clients provide must save you a ton on marketing.

Looks great.

Nice stuff Gene!  Where do you keep finding these guys?  If I send you a bag of Road Runner dropping could you do something with them?  Kind of an exotic inlay

well heres my secret and for a one time chat only...all youse hafta do is put a few business cards in a very expensive mental institution..its one of the ones where it cost like 3000 bux for your container of lego blocks

when they leave just make sure your business cards are in with their diploma.

Gene,

I need a closeup picture of that tree.

Also, how do you know something is going to look good? Do you do drawings to show the customer or do you just have enough experience to know and have the confidence the customer will love it?

Andy,, Gene is also the master of the "head lock"

finally got this done for an event type show and it went over pretty good for me....I put a red glass strip around the top which then got suggested to change out to Mirror laminate...anyway been having fun with this wacked stuff and Im not sure if it is therapy or i need therapy

I even now think the red line should be out..mirrored strip goes in..cool



Kirei turned reddish on me when sanded...no extra charge for that

Keen, Gene.

Do you keep all the glass chips below the surface when you resin fill?

The mirror laminate is easy..just strip it up as small as possible than crosscut it.with snips or something..it wont be chopped up around the edge of the paperstone piece though...its gonna be a solid strip
