I have a little hobby shop, where I came up with some tapers and a friend of mine has rolled the blanks.
Hi mtnbrook, no ruffled feathers here. Your choice of words would lead me to believe that you were/are actively involved in the taper design and that your friend rolls the blanks for you ... Your previous post in the other thread reads differently, Just trying to clear up the ambiguity.
So these blanks are unique and can be found nowhere else?

I also know for a fact that some glass blank stores and retailers will tell you they make their own blanks right here in U.S., but if you question them or ask to see their rolling equipment the subject quickly changes ...
Agreed. Somewhere on this forum there should be a sticky on who rolls there own blanks, who designs their own mandrels/blanks and has them custom rolled by a fabricator, and who is simply reselling blanks designed and made by someone else. There is a lot of confusion on the Internet regarding the origins of today's fiberglass blanks and it would be nice to see some of it cleared up.
