Thanks A.I.
This thread is real fun to watch.
Here is my largest glass build to date at 27 inches and about 3.5 lbs of glass.
This was a warm up for the big one, haha.
is that a lamp?
:eeek
Dang stroker... What size kiln are you rocking to stack that?
Go ahead. I'll be your Huckleberry.
My big kiln is a custom lgw that is about 33 inches tall. I have never come close to maxing it until now.
And barry no its a vase that is still on the blowtube. Gonna get a finial too.
A few marbles from this weekend

Thanks. Yeah, it gets confusing with all the different names in different places. In retrospect I should have just done everything with my actual name, but I've gone too far to turn back now.Quote:

Mine is just set point, and Celsius.
Brads told me he used it for a time before I bought it... Still no issue.
It actually runs the kiln better , just because it is left on high.
When the controller kicks it on, it heats back up much faster.
I love the kiln controller. It is a very good investment. Probably the best investment I have made.
It works in ferenhight and is a 20 amp model. He built it custom for me.
It is pretty easy to hook up also. I was confused at first but when I figured it out I was amazed at how simple it is to connect.
I had a bunch of glass not come out right out of the annealer when I first bought the kiln. I hooked up the digital controller and it maintains a steady temp. I have not make any rejects since I hooked it up. The analog does not maintain a steady temp and you have to turn it up and down all the time. When I am working that was impossible to do. So I ended up making a bunch of unanealed glass.

I get no respect working out of a shed here. Too bad my credit is fucked or I would get a loan. Rent is really high so I can't just rent anymore either. Not to mention it is hard to find a place that is appropriate to blow glass.
I am checking out this place:

If I had some money I would buy it. It probably needs work that I don't know of. Plus natural gas heat is expensive.
now THIS is sig worthy. dude...it doesn't matter whether you work out of a shed, basement, garage, or fully outfitting flameworking shop.Quote:

not to sound dickish...but there may be other reasons you don't get much respect. i'm going to leave it at that before i get an infraction.
I was talking about from my friends and family who now all make over $100 K a year except my brother. They are into expensive things and buy homes and shit like that.
It is hard to get respect for earning a living from a doctor who earns like as much in a hour as I make in a day.
But that was the other day. I had a wicked hang-over. I have stopped drinking after thanksgiving actually.
Today is my birthday!
a little off topic but FYI- Someone offered to buy my bike to make it into a sculpture. He said it reminds him of good time back in the good old days. I turned the offer down it was not high enough. BUt I thought it was funny.
I mean my nurse I see charges $120 for 20 minutes.
It is hard to get respect that you earn a living from these people.
But I was allways told to just build a shed and have your lampworking studio in it from the begining. That is what got me into working for myself. The low overhead. Building a furnace and a huge hot shop was not realistic to me.
I mean my brother in law just won an Emmy for social media. He wrote the show @Midnight on comedy central and is now the head executive writer on Workaholics.
They love my art but it is out of my league.
if you're friends and family don't respect you for following your dreams, fuck em.
i still say you should try to broaden your product line to include something besides w&r......perhaps you'd get more respect as an artist that way?
Here's what's coming out of the kiln https://vimeo.com/148001113
New stuff made with oxycons.

I got in the mood to pull some vac stacks. So far every stack has had illuminati stringers in it. Inside and out. This isn't all of it. A lot of it is in the kiln and being used. But here is a sample of the colorpatterns I've been doing.
http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps6nkcxthz.jpg
I leave them fat and pull them down. I've been doing 50x5 1/2 stick stacks. I should have some 75 soon.
The one in front of the cut knuckle weighs 1.6lbs. Just to give ya an idea
Well I was vacstacking my way through Tuesday too.
The big ones are 10 inch rods in 75mm.
The other is my normal 1/3 rod length or 6.5 inch.
The big illuminati section looks like a bottle after I melted it in and made a pull off it.
I wish that buyer from saks fifth avenue would call me back for ornaments. But that was a long time ago and I am busy. But $50 retail would be sweet.
