i put a lip of glow glass on the bottom of the recessed female, it lights up pretty neat, makes the top lip glow on the top of the unit too, you can see it a bit in the light here i think.
Exp. G #5 FTW!
very neat :)
Nice one kut! Exp. Green kicks ass
That is the sweetest green ever.
it is an amazingly great green :)
a touch of prodo for the european masses, plus a few fully worked ones too:

they are all wrapped now. 70 wraps in one day, most i have done. some sore fingers a little.
Kut! ..Nice selection...Wow !.. love all them colors especially that last one on right honeycomb with the purple, blue ,and red! Whoooooot!..
nice work, looks like you've been busy
lookin great kut! uve been busy for sure...people want hmk gear!
wow 70 wraps/day combine that with razor scraping talk about hand cramps lol
i dunno if u realized but they got these dome things now that work much better imo ,.....LoL jk , nice prodo line!
Kut just curious why some have different bell shapings than others? Is it because of the forming, or are you doing some more experimenting? Awesome batch of curves though!
I remember you saying you did a double reversal at one point, like pulled tube, wig, reverse, pull tube from reversal, wig, and reverse again. Do you have any pics of this... Im itching to try it just dont have a torch atm. Pretty cool your spreading your market to europe man!
:p

yeah they sure are. do you have a pair of diamond shears? they make the enclamo set up way easier. even the cheap ones are ok if you sharpen them. i like the rainbow piece, that has potential.... and is great practice for that technique
it looks like you're coil potting your encalmo's. i like doing it that way too but i've noticed that any unevenness in the thickness of the coil will shift the encalmo lines. you also see the areas where the cadmiums got really hot and shifted color. these issues can be avoided (if you desire) by making a series of different colored sections and marrying them with welds. takes a bit longer unless you do a bunch at a time but it's cleaner looking imo.
I dig your recent work!
every post is better than the last.
<3 this thread.
hmk = winning
:)
i know, it does look like that, but the only one i did like that was the bell. its my first attempt at encalmo, i found it really hard to get nice sections.Quote:

i do not have a pair of shears, but i think i see what you mean, instead of blowing each tube section tip out and and reaming it to fit to to join, instead shear em off and ream em out and join that way? nicer joins, easier to get no lines?Quote:

If you can catch a demo or a video on using the diamond shears for encalmo you will pick it up quickly.
Do you know Mat Escookie (not even close to correct spelling)? I bet on the MP somewhere is a vid link to the technique you want.
I hope you like this tech and do more. Looks great and a good break from line work.
ya i know how they work pretty much. every time i went to buy some there was too many kinds and i couldnt decide :D gotta grab some someday, great for goblet lips too.
you will love it, great idea for a new look.
i wish i could take credit, but most of my coolest pieces so far have been requests, such as that encalmo one. but that gives me enough creative outlet i dont have time to worry about coming up with my own as much. i get asked to do something, then go cool that sounds neat, i never tried that before :) i got pushed into doing 50 x 5 tube pulls with ~34 lines of color by requests to make curves to match others pieces. another form of pushing me to advance a bit without me having to find the incentive. i made a double double rainbow tube pull last night, lol.. two double rainbows with two black strips.
hi there....i am from germany and smoke one of your pieces at steak351....it would be great to have my own one...i heard some about a waiting list or some like that? thanks in advance....cheers
New rigs are looking sweet Kut!
smoke? lol you cant smoke out of them, strictly for aromatherapy :)Quote:
