something new for me

[newmexicomagma]

ive been messing with some wine glasses recently. these are my most recent and nicest ones so far. thanks for checkin em out. the one with the frog was kinda of a collaboration with jeremy/peleglass. He made the frog on it. thats my favorite one so far.

nice goblets mang. your on your way to be a superstar........lol

I like the dog treats on the one.

I'll have to put a foot on the one you did here and dress it up a lil.

Dog treats? looks like cross bones to me ;)
nice glasses... I gotta start practicing my flares. Damn they are hard!!

[newmexicomagma]

thanks, they r hard, but its really not very much flaring for the top, i use a octoganal reamer and or jacks to open it up. cause if its flared to much its hard to drink out of. but its hard for me to fully flare out the foot. whenever u get to that one chris post a pic of it so i can check it out. thanks again guys

when youre flaring its important to keep the outside of the point hot too rather than just shooting the flame into the rim. keeping the whole thing hot allows it to open up as a whole piece instead of just the top lip flaring out. But you have to watch out because if you get the outside a bit hotter than the lip or the lip cools a bit while youre heating the outside, then then body of the bubble will flare out and the lip wont be hot enough to stretch and then all the sudden there is a very deformed and sideways bubble. use a hot bushy flame and run it all over everything while flaring, inside and outside quick back and forth.

This post isnt to you, youre flares look good. Just a bit of flaring sharing

Right on- Magma
lets give it another shot sometime soon and we will get alittle more involved
with the next one. You got mad skills and it was a hell of alot of fun.

nice job man... i like the feet buy the way... this kind of thing is something
i've never tried myself because my flares are better after i load them up and
close them back up... i guess i just can't get a fast enough spin to let the rotating
force do the work or, i don't buy expansive enough glass for the wall thickness
to be consistent... either way, looks like you are having a lot less of the trouble
that i always run into when flaring...:puzzled:

[Pilgrim]

nice work , I really like the feet, nice job dude

[ShttrdSpctrm]

oohhhhhh crossbones..

I still think they look like dog treats :D

for the flares what really helped me was watching parramore. use counterweighted puntys. i use a 6 mill punty and i put some 10 mill on the end and a lil 10 mill on the tip. this way when i have my top or foot on the punty. the punty is balanced in your hand. it was a trick that roger showed us and it changed my flares forever. u dont bounce around in the flame as much if everything in your hand is balanced. thanks for lookin everyone. on the next one i might put milkbones on one just for u shttrd. actually do whatever u want with that foot. maybe make a big turd or something for the glass to sit in? i dont know get creative.

[the0ther0ne]

Sweet!! my little bit of bitching got me some flaring pointers! I'm gunna give these ideas a try. The balence thing makes sooooo much sence! goin out to the shop now... thanks everyone!
peace,

[ShttrdSpctrm]

[J B]

looking good ... I'm getting mine down better also / not as good as yours though. short arms doesn't help any either ???
Can't wait till AGI next year.

[newmexicomagma]

lol ya i can se how short arms doesnt help having to hold in the back of the flame like u do. i kinda have long arms and i get roasted. i need to get some of those kevlar sleeves. thanks for lookin everyone.
