Dr. Cranky Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Wow, John, I want to hear how you plant to cut the glass off that bulb? Another round of great eye candy headed our way. Thanks.
John Teresi Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 Wow, John, I want to hear how you plant to cut the glass off that bulb? Another round of great eye candy headed our way. Thanks. Dr. ......the light bulb is just a mock-up to get the feel of the look......I have a friend that is making me a resin bubble top.......thanks.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Oh man, that's even better. I wonder how he does it, the bubble top? Anyway, I can't wait to see more of this one.
