[Jordan Kube]

Are you willing to part out?

[Pete VanderLaan]

Experience tells me you should price it John.

[Michael Mortara]

Price please?

[John Gilmor]

Would prefer to sell as package. What are you interested in?

[John Gilmor]

$750,000 for the building and studio.

[Pete VanderLaan]

That indeed is a fair price John. The trick is more complex. I currently don't know of anyone with that kind of backing to service the debt alone. Mike may be sick of Lava.
I'm currently on a property with a higher value than that but more as a tree farm than a glass works. And not much more. Fine lumber is less popular than wood stove pellets. The Santa Fe property was far more valuable as it turned out, but not as a glass shop. So, Think about that tooling carefully. IMHO.
You have some great stuff listed but these days people seem to make small salable items like pumpkins. If I were younger I'd go after lots of it, but I, like so many are drifting along towards irrelevancy.

Let me know your current private condition if you would please. I do care about that.

[Michael Mortara]

Very fair price. Not sick of the lava yet, we make lots of red stuff here.
Wondered about the price as we have a similar, but far smaller, set up here and will be turning it over to the next generation at some point.

[Pete VanderLaan]

John has asked me to bump this forward. He has sold the building. I don't know his stance on parting out the tooling. Inquire.

[John Gilmor]

Have sold the building am ready to partial the equipment and molds out. Tell me what you are interested in..

[Eben Horton]

Hi John,

id be interested in some tumbler/ drinking glass molds.

[Pete VanderLaan]

These always go better with prices. Make sure you consider at what point you're sitting on a bunch of white elephants.

[Eric Trulson]

Hi John,

I'd be interested in looking at some of the press & casting equipment, the molds, and the batch chemicals.

I have some business out in western MA later in August (Around the 23rd-25th), so I could probably stop in then to check things out in person. PMing you about that now.

John, I'm interested in your hand tools. Can you shoot me a message through here: http://davidpatchen.com/contact

I don't want to put my email address here because of spambots. thx!

[Paul Labrie]

Hi John I am interested in the blow pipes and optic mold. Can you send pics and prices. Thanks Paul

labrieglass@msn.com
labrieglass.com

[Paul Labrie]

Your mail box is full

I would prefer smaller heads 1 to 1.25 with the 3/4 shafts, not sure what you have, would consider others but 2" is beyond anything I can use. Also am interested in your optic 4" and 5" any pictures? Thanks

[Pete VanderLaan]

John, I went through this with fenton. You will hit a point sooner than later where no one wants this stuff. It won't matter the price.

[Rick Kellner]

John,

Your mailbox is still full.

I'm also interested in some of the items that others have mentioned:

optic molds

hand tools

Exact torch

[Rich Simmons]

John,
If you have any large jacks > 9" I might want them. Also, if you have any small optic molds left (any variety) let me know...you can send me a PM.

Might want some punties too .5" to 1", but no step downs.

[Rich Simmons]

Sorry John,
One more thing...Do you have any bent Soffiettas ?

Thanks
