Grammar nazi alert - feel free to ignore me. I don't at all mean to pick on people - but I thought of this while driving home and thought maybe someone will find it amusing.

Those are quite pretty. Its too bad I don't get any sense of how large they are from your pictures.
I'm really not sure that's a different story - unless said friend is a glassblower who actually knows what "not annealed" means (in which case, they probably don't want it). And you can explain the...
Crap - am I middle aged, or a young adult? That last question is making me depressed... wish you'd just put age ranges in numbers. Guess I'll bite the bullet and say i'm middle aged. Ouch. sadface.
Some people are saying get asian for when you're starting out - I'd caution against that advice, since it can be very discouraging if your work cracks and you don't know why (and even worse of a...
Totally stoked! Got em a few days ago, but apparently dragged my feet a bit on this post.

Gorgeous pendants! I wish I'd taken it at a better angle - the two at the top are gorgeous, but...
So... time to make some new designs?
Also, why are you resurrecting a thread from a year and a half ago? This thread was probably about champs 2015.
Here's the five I'll (finally) be sending in the morning, just in time.

Ray,
Thanks for responding!! I completely missed the message a few posts up - doh! Hadn't checked this forum in a couple days - and was all "oh shit, I gotta let people know I shitbagged asap" the...
Gah! So sorry - I just realized I completely spaced on packing them up and sending them out. I've had the ones I'm sending in picked out for like a week, and just forgot. Should I be sure to send...
Whether or not you use wax is more a function of what you're doing than just the material of the tool. When metal heats up, it will stick to glass, and if you want to prevent that, yeah, you need...
Hah, yeah, remembering the steps can be a bitch until you get more comfortable. I can't count the number of times I forgot to either blow the carb or flatten the bottom. With practice, the forgetting...
Makes sense that some of those "bowl cracks" are just lighting effects - I was going to suggest that possibility, but I know I used to crack em there all the time by just pushing it for too long, so...
Sorry for all the noise on this ascii attempt. Here's the image of what I was trying to do, hah.

Jackass, great point - you don't *have* to do anything. Honestly, I do it for aesthetics rather than being able to see what you're lighting - it just looks more professional, imo - like, that last...
Aww, crap, the forum whacked my leading spaces in my bad ascii art attempt. Does wysiwyg mode work? Lets find out!

Dunno why you'd do a hot seal punty there... that punty is just for stretching the stem of the pipe, right? I'd suggest a cold seal for that.
Also, you can always pick the glass off using your...
Yeah, the article is very heavy on opinion and comparison to 13 years ago - and very, very light on facts. Which sellers, how many, etc, etc. Seems like some guy got his shit taken down (seems to...
No offense intended here... but I had to stare at that first pic for a good two minutes before realizing it's not a bedpan, the picture is sideways. Hah!
Some really nice looking stuff there!
I'd like to participate.
I dunno... without a note with your name and date in the pic, that could be anybody's arm!
(ba dum, ch! What, not funny? Gah, fine, sorry, I'll show myself out.)
The note with your name and the date has to be the same picture as the thing you're selling. The idea is to show some evidence that you actually have the product. You could easily have taken a pic of...
Crazy kids.
Get off my lawn!
(ba dum, ch!)
Post a pic of the torch with your (tmp) name and the date written on a piece of paper in the pic so we know you have it in your possession.
Hah, fair enough. I apologize not because I regret being a pedant (kinda can't help it, that's how I've been trained/trained myself to think), but because I understand that people often don't...
