The Cheetah is a nice torch I have not fired mine up for a couple years but it was sweet working marbles and proto spoons.
Are you using 26mm x 4mm? thicker wall tube is easier, it moves slower with more control. Otherwise try gathering and condensing the bowl end to real thick before you blow it, an extra inch of tube condensed to get a thicker bowl.
Charlie Brown wants that last one! Lookin good sk
That wrap and rake is 20. I was making another chillum but I must of forgot what I was doing. I'm gonna try that extra inch and condense it down next time. Thanks.

Ordered a blowtube. I hope that will let me blow bubbles a little more even.
Thats an epic piece!Quote:

Phew, I gotta keep up with this more often.
Spending most of my time figuring out fuming and tube implosions. Starting to get some control rather than just hoping it turns out. Tutorials are great for getting the general idea but there is tons of hard earned knowledge learned through trial and error.
I don't make many pipes. But I'm starting to get the hang of it.
Spend most of my time making marbles, and figuring out how to fume, trying to get those blues. There is such a fine line between whitish or nothing at all. I must be close.
Wow.....That's Beautiful work. Color me impressed !
still grinding out those fumed implosions, feel like I'm getting an understanding and able to control it some. I feel like I have made some great progression with fuming. There is still one thing that bugs me and I have not for sure figured out. Sometime I get some crazy fine bubbles covering an implosion, I have a feeling it is becasue the glass dot is not quite hot enough when I lay it down, but I dunno for sure yet, but I have ruled out a bunch of variables that are not causing it. After blowwing all those bubbles for implosions, my spoons are better. Curious to see how this not encased space tek holds up under use.
