Re: Billyjay's progression
It's Asian striking red it's cost the same as the blue the blues is a lot easier to coil onto a blank though and I probably should slow down some it was taking me like and hour at first to make one now it's like 30 min I probably shouldn't be worried about speed yet
Re: Billyjay's progression
Very nice. Doesn’t it take a long time to strike that color?

It's the first time I've used it but it seemed pretty easy it was mostly red by the time I was done working it except in the middle I left it in the kiln on 1075 for 45 minutes or so and it was all red I got it from mountain glass don't know if that matters there a 50% off sale all month on Asian glass

1075 for 45 minutes and you get red like that? I’m going to try. I just ordered some because northstar ruby red seconds were out of stock.

After a few hundred it will be a lot faster.

Re: Billyjay's progression
Most of it was red by the time I was done working except a little bit in the middle than ya 1075 for 45 min you might be able to do it shorter I just didn't look at it till 45 min and ya I just need to keep practicing I'm starting to have a lot of spoons I should go try to sell them I don't feel like there good enough yet but I see worse stuff in headshops all the time
Re: Billyjay's progression
bro. bring them to a shop thats kinda far from your house.... this way if you "embarrass" yourself it doesnt matter going fwd. also just sell them stupid cheap. if it smokes... someone will buy it for a couple bucks anyway.
i saved ALL of my crap first spoons and chillys for concerts. sell them for 5 bucks in the lot. pays your beer tab at the show. plus if we are going somewhere. bring the piece. smoke it till ur done. throw it out if you cant bring it with you.

Re: Billyjay's progression
Nice looking tools! Most reamers are octagon shaped, I’m interested to hear how your round ones perform.
