w00t w00t, got my dirt-bike today. Traded it for a laptop :). It's kinda small compared to the one that burned down under me, only 80cc as opposed to the beefy 500cc my old one had.

It's actually easier than it looks, just takes a little practice. I take colored glass of the appropriate shape, frame it in U shaped tracked lead, and solder it together with all the various loops and curly things in their respective places (these are made of the same tracked lead, they need to be shaped with pliers) :).

It's my mom's old job... she has her teaching certificate now, so she doesn't have time for it. I have her to thank ;).
