First recycler. Felt really good to pull it off :)
Looking forward to tweaking and cleaning up future attempts.

that's a damn nice first try!
Personally, I see to many trying to make things like this before acquiring the skill set.
This is a good example of a first build with proper skill.
Looks solid, just some minor shaping to tweak
Gotta crawl before u walk
Thanks!! It feels like all of the seal practice is paying off and it's nice to put it to use on something functional rather than just sealing tube after tube to tube after tube.

Couple of 14 traveler rig collabs with Sherm Glass.
Very cool BBQ!!
I have been a fan of Mishas shadow marbles and found her tutorial last week. Thought i would put some time into marbles to get a feel for thicker glass. What makes me crazy is when i lower the marble into the mold to spin it often puts a dent in it, one step forward two steps back.

dude......that's it i'm making ornaments today. spent the last two days making TINY beads for earrings and necklaces (bought a jewelry making kit) to expand my potential customer base....i suuuuck at blown work and need the practice.
now i need help....how would you price out those candy canes, in maybe sets of 3 and 5? i think those 3 took about 45 minutes......was thinking maybe $40 for 3, $60 for 5.
but i'd like some input....idk if that's too cheap or too high. yes i agonize over pricing, ocd sucks.
Christmas ornaments are definitely good practice for hollow work, ISA. I got thrown into making A LOT of Christmas ornaments before I could really do much hollow work at my old production shop, and it taught me a lot about heat base and shaping large bubbles. FWIW, I really struggle with pricing stuff these days with the way the industry has gone the past few years, but I would probably price them just a tad lower than that. I would say $35 on the set of 3, and maybe $55 on the set of 5. I struggle a lot with pricing though, because if a no name artists makes them, it can be really difficult to get even 10 each for something like that from people who aren't super educated on glass, but could also see an established, big name artist charging hundreds for that kind of stuff to the right people as well. If I make stuff like that though, I tend to find that it is the people who could care less about the pipe/cannabis culture who buys them, and the majority of really high priced stuff usually tends to go to that genre of customer, because that is where a lot of bigger artists are established.
trying my hand at beaded earrings.

Those candy sticks are made pretty quick when you take that pre coloured rods.
yeah but that's cheating!! really for some strange reason i love making cane. love it. yes it take a while the way i do it, but comes out pretty clean. i'm sure i can find a quicker way, but making these is like saying ohm or some shit.
Yes you´re right.
And if you make the canes yourselfe it´s all your own style.
is it the Momka's multi rods that you are referring to? i'd use them....IF they were fat. as is, they're usual rod size, 6 to 7mm (ish) and way too thin for my goofy hands lol.
some silver foil beads, most cobalt, one black, a few ns yellow. simax clear.

Still working out some of the kinks, but definitely happy with the direction things are moving.

This pipe and stand was a colab between myself and user NYPaige. We will auction it off and donate all the proceeds. ( next week?)
Long story short....
The dakota pipe line/ equal rights / the power of money.
We have talked a lot about what is actualy taking place. The misconceptions happening now, and in the past. In the end this is the most practial , and productive thing we could do to show our support.
I will make a more complete thread / link when the auction happens.

Recycler #4 and goblet #1
The goblet was a ton of fun and it seems like there's a lot you could play with for the stem. Didn't heat high up enough on the foot before flaring, but I'm excited to try more of these.

I like the round base on the cycler.
Thanks! I like it too, but I think everything needs to be shrunk down a little bit. I keep leaving a bit too much glass at the bottom of the top chamber, which then pushes me into making a bigger bottom chamber so that it functions properly. Gonna try to keep that in mind on the next one :)
