Yup. Brass is a lot softer than glass, but harder than ice (and paint),

one in the stores recently. This project seems like a winner to me.

We have plenty of flowers in bloom over on the right side of the pond,
but a lot of winter still to come too...

I'm not convinced a brass blade on glass wouldn't scratch it horribly -
has anybody tried it?
