Been to SoHo a few times. Raoul's is worth the wait if
you can get a table. Moss's goods/prices are over the top.
Target might have nearly the same glasses for what--5 bucks..

I don't mind paying for value--theres a blacksmith shop
west of here that does high end mountain lodge stuff..
which is the style I'm interested in.. but his stuff is out of my
budget.

We saw some of his work in a new home, on a home tour last year
and the wife thought I should try and make some. ED

If you enjoy that light-headed feeling from seeing outrageous prices
for things that any monkey with a MIG machine and an angle grinder, go
to Moss in Soho.

Mind you, 99% of the cost is being able to have something that no one
else has, and of course the designer's talent (but neither of those
things seem to be important in this instance).

How does $149 for an injection molded plastic water glass sound? $50k
for a chandelier made of pieces of aluminum extrusion? Oh yes. Rich
people need places to put their money.
