Look What We Found- A Huge Mess!

You know, when you've been in business for 30+ years, you tend to accumulate/inherit a lot of stuff. Some of it good. Some of it great. And sometimes, some of it neither (maybe we should call Glass Stuff in Ottawa and see if they want some of our stuff?).
Mikey decided this week to dive head first (that way he's unlikely to hurt himself),  into what we affectionately call the 'Doom Room' and began to clean it out. 
The DR has been the long time home of our large Denver kiln (Big Blue)- our old workhorse that fired all those church windows we made in our old studio days. 
But while the kiln is large, it is small when you consider it sits in a 600 sq. ft space, away from prying eyes. In other words, with a store jam packed with inventory, the Doom Room became a convenient dumping spot.
So, cleaning up means some serious purging and some great deals. Keep checking the blog over the next week or two...
We start our purge today with...


A Gryphon C40 bandsaw


Of course it works (amazingly powerful and quiet direct drive motor). Includes all parts even some new ones. All it needs is some loving care and nurturing to get back into good order. Heck at this price, just buy it for the spare parts!
$50! (as is- final sale)

I'm pretty sure my whole art studio could be considered a doom room. I started cleaning it last night and quickly gave up and ate french fries instead ;)
