I was looking at these earlier today on dj-hash. Nice work on the curves Kut!
th curves are cool do you sell them with ti pad and wrap?
kind regards
only with ti and wrap job of course man.
nice dude! i need to learn how to wrap these things....i kinda get the idea how to but is there a tut some where?
lol, there actually is, the bastard. but i never endorsed it.
i am on your list for a unit, but delete that and put me on a list for such a nice curve please, i think itl make shipping a lot cheaperQuote:

I'm pretty sure it cost $10 Canadian to ship my last two curves. I don't think a unit would cost that much more to ship.
i am in germany btw
Croatia is at the moment taking delivery of a vape, so thats pretty rad.
kroatien man thats way cool, i think it might be nearly the same distance
heres something, little busy maybe..
Looking good Kut! Keep up the awesome progress!
nice flush joint there.
purdy indeed :) straying further and further from mediocre :tup:
Kut nice work dude, keep it up...
Awesome work on the new unit kut!
You need to work on your curves kut, its all wonky at the bends you can see little bumps and shit.
When you do a bend like that you have to do it super cold so that it takes force to actually bend the piece. Then you just polish out any bit of stretch marks and you got a fluid curve.
work on my curves, lol, im doing a 1250 dollar order right now. i dont need any incentive from you, the money is enough.
im not sure about doing it super cold, i do alot of bends, but usually just clear tubing, and it seems its nice to give it a good heating to get it all melty, and then carefully, start a nice bend. when doing research on bending, i read a thread where it seemed the general consensus was to get it really hot when doing a bend, but i find if its way too soupy its detrimental.

there is a bump or two on that curve, i agree. really only one i see thats ugly, i did smooth it in/melt it down a bit, but not all the way. when doing fully worked curves its harder to bend them them flowingly compared to clear tubing, but im still practicing lots, so it will come with time. i will take your words into consideration, but the research i did before indicated very cold bends wasnt a good way...
lol ok man, guess you never heard of the sherlock bend. Just trying to help you out...
that'll happen if you don't diversify your work ever... :bouncy:Quote:

i'm one who strives to find the best information. i see a whole pile of posts about getting good bends by getting it really hot, then you say do it really cold, so i am wondering now which info is correct, is that a crime? sorry for trying to be sure. thanks for your help i guess. maybe you could elaborate instead of lol, if you really want to be helpful :)Quote:

nuther thread they all say do it hot..

wow thats pretty hilarious, coming from you.Quote:

Sorry man, but that IS lumpy. Maybe you don't see the problem.
Nothing personal man, just sayin'.
there's a bulge above the joint thats supposed to be there, and a rise above the bend at the bell thats supposed to be there too, are those the lumps you speak of? i also see a very mild uneveness in the straight section, is that lumpy to you too or what? i dont care if you say stuff, just be more specific please, so its more helpful.
Okay...
The highlighted spots are lumps (to me). They ruin the flow of the bend.
The part between A and B is narrower than the rest of that part of the bend, so it looks a little squashed (which is hard, for me at least, to avoid on such a tight bend). This could mean a thinner wall thickness on the top of the bend.
B is a bit of a lump probably because of the narrow part, maybe because of the marble, maybe it's just the pic.
C is a lump, just uneven heating or wall thickness?
D the inside of the bend is pinched and is probably way thicker than the outside of the bend which looks stretched.

It's really not that bad, but you asked...
Check out the flow on these bends.
Do you see the difference?

ya i dunno dave, sure you make the odd flower n stuff, but mostly i just seen you copying the curve design a lot. i dont only make curve shit either, but its a way to earn a living isnt it?
thanks man thats more info by far, i appreciate it. well Adam G is a bit of a pro, and i only have 6 months practice so far, so like i said before, im working on it all. Tube bending is not one of the easiest things to do well is it now? As for the last part D, its supposd to be pinched there, for proper function. Like i said, im at 6 months, give me a couple years and you may not have so much to nitpick about. But even as flawed as you make it out to be, I am selling that curve for about 100$, when it has its wire work added. sold a few similar for about 120 now.Quote:

thanks for dropping by skillz :) thats an old barber chair.
its been a long time since I tried doing any half color half clear linework, when I did it sucked. When you lay your stripes or stacks, are you laying down clear on the other side to keep the wall thickness consistent all the way around? I like the way yours is coming out and would love some pointers.
Those half clear pieces are made by lorax...
I didn't realize that either.
some of my latest junk. not too good luck on shaping this big goblet, im not sure how to approach it yet. try again. the glass is my first totally failed goblet attempt, or what i saved of it :D
some quick advice...... to bend tubing if you want to make a 45 degree bend you have to heat up twice the diameter of the tube for an even bend. adjust the ratio according to how far you want your tube to bend.
Why not try clear goblets first? If you do not have an understanding of the very basics, trying to do a multi section cup with wig wags is just going to frustrate you.
Over reaching is fun and all, but starting out from square one is usually more beneficial.
