Delta Mag, donated by GTT for TMPs 13th birthday! (sold and delivered)

Gtt has made a very generous donation this year to support our fundraising efforts. Thank you GTT!! :blowkiss:

Attachment 53469


The Delta Mag will come with a mirage center fire, that's 90 jets of firepower! For information on this torch please see their website at www.GlassTorchTech.com



There's a bit of a challenge behind this donation so please read carefully. We all know they make their torches as quickly as possible but demand is high, and there's never one just sitting around. This torch has a delivery date of mid October. Being that the forum celebrations are happening now (and already late :o:) we are running the auction for this before it's actually made. So if you bid on this item, please be aware of the mid october delivery date! We all know they are worth the wait, and this is a special situation so we're drawing outside of the normal GTT ordering box to make this possible for the forum celebrations.



Questions about delta mags? Please ask before bidding. :) I will be glad to help, and I'm sure Kim, who facilitated this donation, will be watching for questions as well.

Thank you Kim and GTT for your very generous donation and supporting our community!! :blowkiss:

awesome. how bout selling raffle tix for that!!!! id buy ten at ten apiece!!!!

That'd be cool, but imagine if the raffle didn't bring in the value of the donation...that would make GTT sad and unlikely to donate again! ;)

Say whaaaaaaaa?!?!?!? :-) super cool

GTT Rules!

Wish I had the $, someone will be very happy!

Where do we bid?

Right here. :)

No bids yet? Lets get this started! I got $4025 right here!

Is GTT going to engrave something that will make this torch distinctive from other DM's? That would be very cool!

Edit. Or TMP could lazer engrave something that reflects its origins...

Maybe someone could laser etch the base and the back of the torch head? Since its anodized I know a good guy for that. Or maybe someone who does those paint jobs like lew swan could hook it up? Just some ideas. Lol

Thank you for kicking her off, Amber!

Auction ends Monday around this time.

Maybe gtt will stop by and answer the customization questions. :D

I'll see what they can do to make it stand out. :)

Thanks for your bid, Amber!

Wow, that is really really cool of them. Thanks GTT!

I wish I wasn't so broke)-: good luck everyone.

Sweet! Thanks Kim! Ill be anxiously waiting to hear what they come up with! Where are all of the other bidders? Wake up guys! ;)

Wow. Holy incredible generosity. And a fat bid right to kick it off. Y'all must be doing something right.

I don't need this much firepower yet, but this is awesome, someone will be very happy with this, thanks guys!

The Delta Mag is a amazing torch. i owned one for a few years, so sad i had to let it go few years ago but got a nice delta in the deal. I have owned a GTT torch since 1996 my first lynx. GTT for life... I am waiting for my beast the Quadzilla, soo excited to be apart of this amazing movment of artists. THANK YOU GTT FOR ALL YOUR AMAZING WORK AND DEDICATION :)

Tell me if this disqualifies me from bidding but I don't get my paycheck until Friday of this week.

If that doesn't disqualify me then ill bid $4200 cuz 42 is my favorite number and all.

It's been > 12 years since I've blown any headies but some of y'all may have seen some old school pieces of mine from throughout the 90's signed with an "EZ" milli ;)

On a side note... I have laser cutting/engraving equipment that can etch annodization so if you need some custom artwork added to the torch even if I don't win the auction I'm happy to do it for free.

I bet if you sold $20 raffle tickets and posted about the raffle on other venues, you'd pull in more than the torch is worth. There are a lot of glass peeps on Facebook & Twitter who don't frequent the forums.

Ezra I remember your glass! I sent you a pm

Thanks for the suggestion shawnette but the auction is underway and we will not be changing it to a raffle. Please see the main forum for items being raffled off and get your name in to win. Here's a URL. http://www.talkglass.com/forum/showt...-you-could-win!

Please help me keep the thread on track by keeping the comments to bidding, questions about the auction, or thanking our awesome sponsor. People need to see what the current bid is easily and clearly to avoid confusion. Thanks!

Current bid $4025

Kudos GTT!

Just saw this on facebook! How dope.

Awesome! I just got on GTT's list for a Phantom, considering bumping up to a Mirage. Those guys rule!

Current bid $4050, thanks NoDice. :)


About 6 hours to go!

Willy said that they will also powdercoat the torch a solid color. The winner can choose from the single coat process or two coat process colors they have listed on their website. The pictures on the website don't really give the colors justice, though. They originally wanted to paint it Starburst Lime - because that looks really awesome in person - but I suggested that they let the winner pick. :)

If you want more than one color, you can purchase a paint job from them. And, of course, if you don't want any special paint job, they can leave it stock.

Wow! How awesome of GTT! I want to sell everything I own right now. How did I miss this?
It is someone's lucky day!
