Yeah I agree on the feet. Try and make your normal feet as even as possible front and back. I think this will help the way the units look quite a bit. Zeus none of those rigs he recently posted are mine. I guessing maybe you seen my pictures over on TC?Quote:

i make the back feet longer for stability, cuz the mouthpiece and stem are fairly large relative to the whole thing, and if you want to lean them back far enough for good visibility longer back feet assures this is good to go. longer front feet may match, but it is not necessary for function.

this tube pull i mixed up two lines, so used it for a goblet instead of money making stuff. i bridged the stem to work it, not bad, not great. works great for that though.
That goblet came out really nice. Are you still not selling those? I know hks has a few really heady ones.
looking great!!
All three of those rigs look so sick
i like the goblet... its nice to get away from functional for a minute sometimes. expanding horizons really brings out the creative juices. keep it up man!
how is a goblet not functional? is there hole in it?
haha, i been thinkin bout that for a minute myself, i have used that a couple times already.
i meant tobacco use functional... i know you can use a goblet
mmm pliny the elder in a goblet could be good ;)
ya 151 urs is nice man, the colour combo I meant was hks but ya urs is sick :)

bridged on all of these. actually replaced the mouthpiece on the donut one, and realized that it was actually possible to do so, and do a good job, thanks to bridging it.
oops i got a new camera, have to fix that.

ooooo De-cent!
That last rig is legit. Nice dude.
Very nice work Kut, good to see the progression coming along nicely.
Glad you tried the bridging tech, that changes your game on welds big time, at least it did for me. Good lookin units kut.
nice! i'm really diggin that last one
love em!! the last one has wicked contrast
man, i made something kind of freaky, for me anyway. its pretty odd too, pics tomorrow i think.
really diggin the donut unit and that black one! keep it up buddy!
Is that last rig dark cobalt or black?
jet black, i guess its all the purple giving it that effect a bit maybe.
Very nice on that last unit kut... Also diggin' that white retti from the previous post.

that retti one died in the mail, i am going to recreate it today.
pimpin the steel wool, very nice!!!!!!!!!
woah funky legs!
that smaller connection looks much nicer
do you mean between the stem and main can? because for function, thats a bit too small almost, its a good thing thats a larger than average ball or it would suck up water, because the throat going up is a bit small. thats why they are so large usually, for function.
i dont think he means that it looks nicer because its smaller but it looks nicer overall IMO
Looking good Kut. Try some ggirl style feet on one of your rigs.
what are those? small nubs? naw, i like em bigger. her style is more applicable to her flat bottomed units as well, i like the round bottom, very rarely do i flatten them, which would allow the diminutive stabilizers.
I like the flat bottom and small nub feet. Give it a try on one unit. It would add more stability and improve the look imo.
i have made some in the past. there is no stability issues the way i make them, and i prefer the round bottom at the time being, and dont like tiny feet either. if you want some flat bottomed ones you need to start making them like you want em.
try as many different ways as possible!!!...why not?...keep things from getting stale, keep you sharp!....i think this one got some style and flow....i think this is by far the biggest jump of improvement in alot of ways in this thread of progression!
Your rigs tip backwards way easier than your sister's.... Just a thought....Quote:

one of the reasons hers could be more stable is the stem to can ratio is different. i make mine always much smaller, so the mouthpiece and stem is relatively heavier on my units typically. she has much larger bodies, so they weigh the rest down a bit easier, but like i say, its not something i am finding with the models i have present. she curves her stems differently too, so they are more forward.
i tried my sisters foot and body style for awhile, i like to keep trying new things thats for sure. i am progressing at my own plodding mindlessly methodical pace.Quote:
