very cool, ive got a long way to go before i ever try a murrini,

wow
That is so cool!!
I wait for your pics every week now. :D
Zooooombies!!!! Really cool! How long does it take you to make?
:yay :yay2
How or what do you use to cut and polish your milli?
I use an old lapidary set up to polish coins. I start with 200 grit sanding wheel than 600. And polish it off with cerium oxide on a leather lap wheel. Cut cane slices with an old 6" trim saw with the thinnest blade I can find.

A 5" ball of boro gets freaking hot. It feels like I am inside of a glory hole in an hot shop
Thanks! I read somewhere about an acid to polish them, I guess it's that cerium oxide you speak of.
Really cool milli! Tottally looks like soft glass!
Some say Smeeth here has been lamping less than two years,
and up until just a couple weeks ago had pulled all his cane on a national 2b.
Does it blow your mind like it did mine?
All we know is he's called the STIG!
Go, Mr.Smeeth! I can't believe you make them so big out of boro!
To set the record straight I was rocking a Nortell minor for a year and a half. I picked up a national 8m with a sm5 tip in December. Picked up a sm11 tip in January. The National with a sm 11 is an awesome soft glass torch. And two weeks ago I snagged a Bethlahem Bravo. Bravo for the win.
