Oh yes to be sure.Everything from pros/friends saying
it couldn't be done - getting laughed at by morons at
star parties,warped glass sheets,low balling price
quotes to outrageous price increases on
glass,opticians that told me the price they would pay
for "manufacturing discounts" on blanks or they
wouldn't take the blanks,kiln suppliers that doubled
the mark up on raw material,other people filing patent
claims (and getting patents) without doing prior
searches on my inital layouts/designs for radial
cellulars blanks that had already been published......

You make joke ...yes .:)?

 Another of the dirty little secrets of the cellular
world that never gets out - buying thin sheets of
glass costs more than buying thicker cast mirror
blanks from the same supplier.And people wonder why
cellulars cost more with few makers staying the
course.The business world sure is fun.Me
bitter....never...
