Speaker 1 (00:00):
A lot of us know about the Canner glass Works. Fantastic,
you've been there. Yeah, it's beautiful blowing the glass, Oh
haven't you.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's exciting when you're down there in the heat from
the I don't know what you call that thing. I
would call it a kiln, but that would be incorrect.
A kiln is for pottery. That's for glass, Darcy cooler cooler,
the cool not wouldn't be the cooler.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
It's the heater. But the glass is already hot and
it's got a cool down.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Well, clearly this is what we're talking about anyway, because
no one mentioned about this.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
That is the better known of the two. There's the
Caner glass Works.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
A lot of people aren't aware of the bung Indoor woodworks.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
A lot of people are.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Let me rephrase that, a lot of people who don't
live in bung Indoor aren't aware of the bung Indoor
would work.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
If you've ever passed through Bugin Door, ever gone to
the coast, you've probably gone into the woodworks.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
People's iconic people.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
You know, you talk about the region and people go, well,
it's Parliament House. People go, there's there's a big marino
and and you need to get along to the bung
Indoor Woodworks because her rest attraction, well for how much
longer dancing?

Speaker 3 (01:03):
It's open till June. So the owner is unfortunately retiring
and there was no one to take it over, so David,
it will be closing its doors in June.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
I haven't had the privilege of going, and I will go.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
What have you never been there?

Speaker 2 (01:17):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:17):
I can't believe it, but I will.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
It's been there for forty years, so it's been there
my entire lifetime.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Run out of time and you've.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
Nearly run out of time, but we always go in there.
It's it's like art. It's like art made out of wood.
It's very expensive, so I've never actually bought anything. Well,
there's tables and chairs, there's furniture, but there's also art.
There's like pens and box like there's a whole bunch
of things. But I saw my auntie the other day
and she was heading in there because she's always bought
gifts for other people from there because it is so

(01:44):
beautiful and iconical. I like that and local, and she's
never bought anything for a self, so she's like, go
get me a pen.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
It's all I can really.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Afford, but it's worth it.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
It's stunning something handcrafted like that. Now that said, you
know in his retirement. So does the owner just loaded
into the into the shed or is there.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
A runout sale?

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Well, I really hope there's a sale. I doubt it
because I think different artists have their work in there,
so they will probably take and sell it else I'm assuming.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
I don't know. You didn't put all that time and
effort into a thing to flog it for, but I
really wish they would. They're not going to do.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
I would love a runout sale.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
No, well, forget about that. I'm sorry I ever mentioned it.
