Just use the sources for some type of stats. Profit or deficit on farming tobacco. Amount of hrs required to harvest it. How many farms in TN raise tobacco now.

Thanks sly, whenever I go back to the library ill pull those up. And no she told me to find 3, even if its just a definition or something. Plus I've got to make a damn small slideshow with pics. I wanted to bring in the hatchet and spike you cut and spike it with, I just figured that wouldn't be the best idea.

OK, different answer. Two completely different techniques. I've watched people doing the glass blowing, too. It's pretty amazing. Working with stained glass, you draw a pattern of what you want. Then, hand cut each piece to fit. Mine are usually anywhere between 30-100 pieces. After each piece is cut, you grind down the edges to a dull finish. Then, hand tape each piece with foil. After all this is done, you assemble the pieces into the final shape. I use horseshoe nails to keep them in place. At this point, you run solder seams to permanently join all the pieces. Wash, rinse and then frame and hang.

I was just curious, I love to watch them work and the pieces look so fragile . I wasn't sure how you achieved your art. Thank you for telling me :)

The glass blowing, I haven't a clue. It is fun to watch. I've seen several people do it. It's magic.

They make it look so easy but you know it has to be extremely difficult. Everything from the different chemicals to achieve the different colors to just knowing how fast to turn the rods and the amount of air pressure to apply. It really is astounding


I sound like such a dork lol
