Sent,thanks!!!

Met up with GNG Machine Works today!Got my mold,it's so nice!!Very cool molds,can't wait to get some more and a custom made.

Just wanted to give a review on the small skull mold.I am in love!!!At first I was not sure but this mold is so neat to use!I have other work I really should be doing but tonight is all skulls.Any how I will say this is $ well spent.Anyone wanting to check out a finished skull send me shipping $ and I will send you a pendy!!Got the large mold tonight and that worked great tooAttachment 86682

That's awesome. Those look so cool! :D

Thanks!! I went and got the big skull mold last night,worked like a champ 100% of them were good,so far got a skull on a rig and 2 spoons,will get better picture and make them crazy looking soon.I took a pic but better pics to come,samples are getting mailed today,if anyone else wants one let me know.People seem to REALLY like them so far.Attachment 86702

I WANT ONE!!! those riggity-riggity-rock son! How do I get a pendy? Just send you shipping $$? That seems cheap.

I really like the fumey top left one

Yup pm me your shipping and I will shoot ya one.I am having some much fun making them and there super super easy to make.Figured I would give some away on here and maybe people would want there own mold.I would of never bought a mold,just not in my budget but it was for the MP and I think it's great that people do what they can to keep this place going so I bid on one.Turns out it's now my favorite tool I own.Got a idea for a custom mold in the works,seen the hard work that goes in to making the molds.I having nothing to do with the molds just a happy customer.

Please forgive newb question in this thread but how do you use these graphite molds?
Make a big enough gather and just jam it in the mold or is there more to it?
For big ones I imagine a bubble being pressed in with finger over blowtube?

I will even make a vid if we need to haha but I am getting 25mm tube hot and pressing and blowing it in to the shape.It can be done on rod too.There is so many ways to do it I am sure.My shop mate made some super heady ones out of dicro.Figure out how much tube to use and I was good to go.Got couple small and a large I am shipping out right now,just made the slip.I plan to make some pretty neat pipes with the mold soon.It was like anything had to figure it what I could do with the tool.Pretty much you put in hot glass and it shapes the skull.I am messing with adding/carving teeth but mostly letting the mold do the work.I did the first ones in clear to see my wall thickness,I made some air flow carb caps out of the skulls too.Cross bone/knife in head/joint in mouth... I got few idea to come still.

Thanks LRG, your work has been killing it, and I'm honored to hear such kind words and to have support from you!

Can't wait to see what's next in store
