Hey there, fairly new behind the torch and reside in the Greater Sacramento area. I had A good friend of mine who's a bit north of me (Quix) show me his studio one day and from then I have been mezmorized by watching him work :twitch: and decided to give it a shot. I was able to purchase an 8m torch w/ sm7 tip, a couple oxy cons, basic tools, and a kiln with a couple extras from him. That day, a door to a new world was opened and I had found my Medium

Sadly though, recently I was forced to move and have no space to set up but thanks to everyone here at The Melting Pot and my new Bible (Contemporary Lampworking) provided by "Stix" I still have been able to learn more and more everyday. I would like to say Thank you one more time for providing a community to help me pursure my new found love .:evilLaugh

Quix welcomed me here not long ago. I've got a premix adapter and a couple tips for the 8m if you have the need.

Not too far from you in San Jose. Let me know if I can help out. I am not an expert but I would like to give back some.

Do this.... Larry produces gorgeous glass. I have been mainly "self-taught" and the rare occasions I get to see other lampers work I learn SO SO SO much faster.

Also, this website is awesome... I would be nowhere near where I am in my boro "career" (read: life) without it.

Thanks talkglass!
