Well here is the latest i made last night, it came out alright but one of the colors must not agree cuz, I got a bunck of lil cracks in it kindapissees me off, its super thick tooo, I hate cracks well in my glass at least :tongue2:

oh well here it is

dam crip, your gettin better everyday. keep it up yo, you got skillz :chilling:

i felt bad for you having to work outside but you're doing great!

ThX guys for sho im tryin thx

Heres what i messed wif yesterday Im goin out now to try somethin else :chilling: not sure yet but yaaaaa hummmm

Ok heres the one i did today I like came ot cool some multi blue color, thoes lines that show really whited actually look cool shiny blue color outside, oh ya and its gotta loop so if your a really hard core smoker you could wear it round your neck hehehe

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
