Yet keep in mind that many slags might be hand gathered where you really have to study one to be sure it is or not. You have one that looks close in row 2 right, but it turns back into a different direction. That's not an impossibility when hand gathering as usually the punty rod is turned in one direction to gather the glass. Yet, what if the person who's dipping, ('Gatherer') pulling and twirling to gather all day, week after week, months and years, gets Carpo tunnel? Turn "Ouch", twist "Ow!" "Ouch!"😆 Not to leave out Peltier's feathered slags, they are not HG so, would be auto gob feeder made too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
