Attachment 25795

kind regards frank

your tube pull tech is right and HMK is right thats why it cracked and not keep core heat. the tech is done right though stripe over and encase we use 15 at our shop to encase and double stripe color so it doesnt go transparent when pukked but ive seen a 10 inch section of 60 x 5 striped and encased with 15 then pulled all in 1 sitting no garage takes around two hours but you dont get the textured look that stick stacks have. otherwise great work

also got around twenty foot of primo tube

Sweet work dood!

the first couple of slides are pushed bowls (hard to see?), the black one caught my eye, nice contrast in the bowl colours.

yes all push style , except the two last ones theyre...??"german style" big hole etc...

lookin good lookin good.

here are my first two shot glasses, with implosions as feet and a colored lip

what do you think?

tell me what you think, i practiced mostly hollow stuff this month
kind regards

sometimes i get theese little bubble in the seal where i connect the joint , somebody know how to get rid of them?

or make my seals better

i wanne be closer to the joint

kind regards frank

cool dude! those slides are sick... that last implosion is sick

thanks man i made that implosion on a 24mm tube i think i got the "trick" now, i am out of gong joints so maybe i am making some shot glasses and i also have some 36mm medium wall tube i think ill try some jars

have you color encased a tube that big before? i am thinking of encasing 24mm standard wall with color and clear and pulling it down, so i get some chunks of colored tube i can wig and spiral up

but my kiln is very little hopefully it fits in tehre

but i sold my 1971 lambretta scooter for 1010 euros, i am thinking of upgrading from the sc3 to the f 130

kind regards frank

bigger kiln nice :)

bubbles i think come from heating the join ends too hot when joining. too hot bubbles form, too cool its a crappy joint. if the joint is too cool when its joined you can use a micro flame to work it in with puffing, but a boiled joint you cant fix.

i really like your style. ;-)

thanks man, thank you very much

i was asked to sell some slides

how much can i ask for one

is 20 - 30 euro too much for a pushbowl with a turtle?

i am confused:D
