: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
ya ill try that but what about when ya want a big marbel style magnifer then you still have the angle all the way around the mag Ill show ya when i post my next pics when they come outa kilnQuote:

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
Oh Ya and here are what teh rods look like GD its a momka sampler pak courtesy of MR.WoNkA Thx again
You know Crip, you are having WAY too much fun!!!!!
Nice work!
yep, I have some of those exact rods. Gonna have to play. And happy day, my sample pack from glass alchemy came. Time to increase my color count from the 9 or 10 I use now :bouncy:
Made some new ones yesterday , and I broke 2 today and got one hopefully look cool, I encased unobtanium and silver unobtanium and cad yellow, then pulled em into stringers and wraped thoes and melted all in so hopefully it looks cool well see, I love expearimentin wif all deez diff colors..

I notice something in your bowl pushing.
Think of the head of the bowl as a globe. Pop the hole at more of a 45 degree from the stem to the head. So in between the mouthpiece and the bowl... don't go straight down go more towards 45. In other words, pop the hole in between the median and the mouthpiece. Also, try to feel out the whole piece as much as possible so that it's all an even wall. This helps with everything... ask yourself how thick is this part of the piece compared to the rest. I just found out one of my accounts ran over a piece of mine with his jeep. It lives still.
Even wall thickness, even heat memory and glass is your friend.
After a good 100,000 spoons you'll be ready for anything.
heheheh 100000 yay you mean like instead of straight 90 jsut back a lil twords the mouthpiece ?? I think ihear ya and ya im jsut startin to get the even temp meltin it all in and gettin even wall, but i still mess a few up, I would blow em out then if it was off jsut go with it, but today i blew it out and could tell it was thin and reduced it down again blew it up a bit more reduced it and ended up gettin teh whole bowl bubble even worked good, so now i wont have to be a hack any mre and go with it heheheh unless im jsut over workin on that pice then i jsut get it over with and kiln it... it happens sometimes like wrinkels I hate em from gettin to thin..
Heres what I made to night first decent marble actually kinda round and the punty dent in teh back makes it stand up nice hahah, the lil green one was my first coil pot i used the encased cane i tried to make teh other day and shit it worked kinda stoked anyways lata thx for coments
YAY i made my first shelock last night and It came out sweeet check it guys and gals
looks good man. definately still progressing. i noticed a lil devitrification on the inside of ur bend there afteru shape ur sherly u can go back with a fine flame and fire polish the devit off. but awesome man ur a mover and a shaker.
is that the blury spot there your talkin bout,, Can I fire polish with out re anealing or is this outa the question..
Thx man
i would reheat in the kiln then fire polish it. but ya thats the spot im talking about it always happens with sherlocks i usually polish it right after i make my bend. is that a inside out? ur moving fast man.
thx Ya inside out I was kinda cheatin cuz i still cant flair a tube very well so I jsut poured a few diff frits in there heheh I think ima get a coffie grinder so I can make more..
crip your stuff is looking great. My shop out here would prolly buy every one of those spoons at $10 each. They'd prolly like your stuff better than mine. I've had to switch to a lot of fume and putting the knobbies on the outside because he says that's what sells.
lookin real good! give flaring a try!!
lookin' real good there. your coil pot is tight and the sherlock has a great shape. impressive again. if you are open to suggestions on shrinking that bowl hole down i bet you would catch on pretty quick. maybe if you describe what you do now about popping the hole and pushing the bowl you would get back some good input. maybe you don't need it. just offering....... not a diss.
peace, m
