Ok so I'm answering this old thread,
1. I did put a lens through a wall once when I first learned on an old Colburn generator, it was plastic, the store in a mall next to a glass walled gift shop, when I guff up, I do it in style.
2. You know you've been around a while when you stick a screw driver through your index finger and the head stay's there when you pull the dang thing out, your finger is so callused from doing it so many times before and you play guitar. Oh and did I forget to mention that the newbee Girl standing next to me passed out and hit the floor, that was funny, she was ok thank God,
3. And yes I did set a Hi-Index lens on fire once and this guy polishing lenses across from me started screaming like a Girl...
