Some new stuff

:chilling: Some lil stuff I was messin wif :chilling:

right on, looks like youre learning fast

very fast dang! good job!

Thx guys and Girl heheh

so im stoked i rigged up my kiln lid today to a pully and rope, now i can open it jsut enuf without gettin teh glove on and do it fast and easy then place my piece then close just as easy, this is going to make that last step so much eaiser, to hard to try to get a piece hot set it down, get teh glove , prop the lid get the piece back in fire really quick while the kiln is coolin off, its jsut a pain in da ass, now it will be nice,,

haha thats hilarious, top loaders are a bitch, but once you get bigger and better youll be glad for the kiln space

the skillz are definetely improving....i'm 6 months in and i still cant make a slide bowl hehe

i hope the rope you got there isnt made of anything too flammable. if it is id keep the kiln under 1100 :)

heheh thx but ya i got chain on the handel and thats hoked to the rope a few inches up so shouldnt get tooo hot

ok heres one i made last night plenty of silver and dots wif a wrap gettin pattern to come out a lil beter :chilling:

I love the colors you got there. I am just working with several pounds of odds my friend had. I can't wait to work with colors that I can read about what they do and when I find 1 I like I will know what it is so I can get more.

What color brand do you use?

Thanks
actually i have a bunch of ends too and northstar percision , but this one was unexplanium suposidly a blue green color not bad I got it form the 10$ a pound out of tolorence sale, and gotta tell ya the rods didnt looke much worse than a regular rod , any ways i cant tell the diff yet, but the unobtanium was bubbly as hell so i encased a piece of rod and used it for magnifers and it worked goood

these last few have been minis, i only had bout 1 1/2 feet of smaller than 1inch medium wall, so I been makin small stuff till my glass shows up

I jsut made 2 more today with momka holoween and christmass rods, jsut twisted up lati style then wraped

well see how they look later

looks good... see how on your bigger dot on the newer wrapped one its kinda got an acute angle where it joins the peice? you kinda want to avoid that, as it creats a spot of stress when the piece cools down, try applying the dots hotter then working all the way around them with the flame, while trying not to deform the structure of the hollow work

I really like that haloween color looks coool

Here are tehr rings i made tonight free hand came out alright on the 2nd one weeeeeeeeeeee

Ooh I really like those colors. What is it, just several colors in 1 rod? I love the thin stripes in it. Do you have any more of those rods left you could post a pic of so I can see what the rods look like? I may have some in our sample colors.

there jsut the momka rods that are multicolored they kinda cool

Man i been doin these rings for 2 days now cuz i thought i was almost outa propane, but i guess i got a lot more than i thought cuz i used 700# of oxy and its still goin, and i been messin wif a bunch a lil buillshiz maybe that Y usin small falme, probally shouldnt have takin it in so soon last time, the tank was light so i figured empty, no worries my buddy is lettin me use a big prop tank so ima get that filled too and then no worries of runnin out, I wonder what the price diff will be compared to my exchange tank at 21$ A POP here is tha pic
