Seem to be hooked....

I have been reading these forums for weeks and already have seen a nice bill on my credit card. It looks like it will be another obsessive hobby. My last obsessive hobby did turn into my career...

Anyhow, thank you all for your information, forums like these make you appreciate the art of dedicated work in any field.

For me, I'm 27, brand new to detailing (hobbyist), and have a love for VW. I work as a glassblower / glass fabricator, artist, and educator.

I have yet to polish my car but am eager to give it a try. In my world of glass I have cut, engraved, and polished many pieces of glass of all sizes and shapes. I am interested in seeing where the overlap is in paint correction.

For my art work, if interested, check out Jon Chapman (http://jon-chapman.com). The monotonous ware series has a few videos of machine driven glass objects I create.

Thanks again all, look forward to future conversations.

Appreciatively
Jon

I could see how doing glass work (like you described, not exactly how since I've never done it) can fit into detailing.

For me, I imagine I am drawing when I am polishing paint actually. (How one draws with a pencil and paper)

I've seen some YouTube videos on glass blowing and it looks like a very artistic trade. (seems kinda scary though lol)

and Welcome.
