[Jewelry making - Article 00276] - Re: [Orchid] Bench Soldering within the Store

    I have my bench right out in the shop itself.  It has large plate
    glass on 3 sides of my bench and the glass is about 30" high with the
    corners facing me rounded. A local glassmaker set it up for me back
    in 1990. All he used was a silicone sealant to hold the 3 pieces
    together. The glass sits snug right next to the lip and we placed
    quarter round wood trim along the inside. I also put on a sign across
    the top:  "Please do not disturb! The piece I'm working on might be
    for YOU!"  That promptly went up after some guy started to bang on
    the glass for me to move my hand so that he could see me soldering
    (and melt the head I was putting a new prong on). I never had any
    problems since.
