Sick.

I'm on my phone and cannot zoom in but all "veins" seem to be functional tubes.

That's awesome, some of those welds are minuscule.

I want that ribbon burner. Anyone know a good place to look at different ribbon burners?

Here is another link to an article that was done last week in the scientist magazine. Thanks for all the nice words.

Wade you are an inspiration to us all!

I got to see some of these sculptures in person at a medical device show....unbelievable work. The small veins all work. The welds are flawless. The skill levels and caliber of work, combined with the art and science of creating a full size working model of the body's internal structures was really amazing to see. I stood in that booth for a long time just looking at these things and going "wow". I'm sure very few people recognize what it takes to make this stuff. Awesome work and it helps save lives too.....amazing...

Great work Wade. Would love to see these in action. Congrats on the wright-up.

Right. They say these are functional models. Makes me wonder how they're used

[HomegrownGlassStudio]

Wade could you maybe share with us were you got that nice heavy duty ribbon style burner? Is that something you guys made?

Jesse they are used for testing catheters and for training surgeons etc...
