[Shop-talk] Drilling a hole in glass?

[Peter Murray]

Am I really hearing suggestions that Mark return the light fixture rather
than fix it with tools in the shop? Don't you blaspheme in here!

Back in my day, we'd just heat up the furnace and make a new glass shade
for our fixture by hand! Maybe Shannah can make that her donation to
team.net!
