Nice work Crip!

Peace,

That mib is pretty cool. Nice piece. You're really doing well with the sectional stuff.

Those icicles are a bitch to get good and even aren't they? For every one I make, I end up tossing out about as much glass as I use. The bulbs are pretty nice - do you leave a hole in them at the top or bottom tip?

thx guys

icicles arnt to bad only broke like 2 outa 20 and they take like 5 min each some are janky but for 2 for $5 no one seems to mind, and yess tiny hole in the end, like pin point pin point if it closes to much but thats all ya neeed..

adding more crap

hehe made a driver with golf ball kinda for a golf friend that wanted one, couldn't figure out how to do it then it just happened..

I have been using the china black quite a bit lately I just stopped doing complex stuff and try to apply stuff then melt in then shape and attach extras. I also don't use it for any prep as in tube pulls implosions or any thing that adds extra warm up and cool downs. As long as I keep it simple and work quick without alot of re-heats its decent stuff. I work it with unob on lockness horns and carbs. I would almost bet you lined that black and yellow tube as a tube pull melted it in and pulled two bowls of of it or more. Also I make black stuff at the end of the day, sitting in the kiln all day at 1050 or higher depending on where it sits in there and how it warms up and down. good luck

How do you make your tubing? do you stick stack or do just lay lines on top of the tubing?

Nice Crip! Yeah that black tube is sketchy as hell,out of 4ft. I got 1 little goblet & a big pile of broken shards. I definatly wouldn't weld any patterns to it or do multi section stuff,it worked well for a straight black goblet though,I guess it works well for anything simple that doesn't lots of need re-heating & welding? Hopefully NS comes out with some jet black soon,for now you can just stick stack black rods,I've done that with good results,except you get some faint lines.

nice dude. i like those honeycombs on the side of the spoon.

yup the black is a pain. just crank up the oxy on your center fire till it is screaming. works with the mirage anyway.

ThX Guys

JR the black was a lined with yellow then 8 mil rod encased, It was a thick monster my buddy wanted thick, only pulled one piece off it 4 inch blank..

all seemed well till the next morning my buddy was there to pick it up and we went out to the shop..

and the kiln was still on -- so it sat in there all day till i was finished with the rest of the days stuff, then anealed again,, probably a bad deal..

made a few more cool combs tonight, check em tomorrow..

some really dank color going on there. nice fuming man!

Yep I figured it would be one of the two. I had a little problem with it at first but once I found out how I could successfully work it I took it from there. I had a request for the bumble bee look and just went with jet and canary. I love your ap and fume also. Keep it up it looks good. I like to fume the black then dot up with trans colors like sublime or Ice blue or any transparent you have laying around from sample sets and such also a little gold fume then the dots or lines. Try making your black tube stuff last and run your program.

It really helps to sleeve the black tube with 50x5 and pull it down like a tube pull. It really helps with the cracking problems
