Thanks Misha!
And you compelled me to look at my own post header just in time to see my 1000th post wheeeeeee!
Started as a hobby in 2001, went full-time in 2008. Interpret that however you like, but please just show the current-level badge to avoid clutter.
Thanks Misha!
No problem! It can take some digging, but there is a ton of great info archived here.
This question pops up here every once in a while. Here, here, and here are a few threads I found through the search function on this site. Misha knows a thing or two about this as well.
(I stole this from a wiki; I don't have my own rectifier)
The general rule of thumb for copper electroforming is 0.01 amps/in2. The size / number of pieces you want to do at once will determine...
Yeah, those indents in the edge in particular mean that getting the right heat base is pretty crucial. Too little and you're not changing the shape, too much (or if the heat is too deep into the...
To use the sideways molds, you have to spin the plug while it's still a bit hot (like a marble mold). If you have both molds in your possession, I'd use the first kind to get the basic form (press >...
Ok, I'll bite
No, thank YOU!
Really bummed I couldn't stay for Saturday's festivities. Hope you all had a great time!
Tell Scott to hit me up if he needs any help with whatever's coming down the road. ...
Aw shit, happy B-Day man!
I'm not sure I get it. You didn't make the piece, but it's your job to fix it? And how did devitrification "pop up" if not in the flame? Are you sure it's even actual devit, and not just "chill...
Looks neat mixed into glycerin for liquid-filled pieces.
Thanks everyone!
Just PM me the address and I'll get it right out.

That's crazy high. I mean, good for you that people in your area are willing to pay that much, but in shops that I deal with I'd expect to see pieces like that fetch more like $75-80 retail.
Are you talking about sealing the sidewalls together? Have you looked into the so-called "Jesus seal?"
Isn't next year the big 15? I'd start making plans asap. I'd love to see you both there...I don't think I've even met Kris yet!
:) Absolutely!
I haven't missed a year since my first in...'08 maybe? Doesn't hurt that it's far closer to home than any other annual glass event. But, even if it wasn't, I'd still try to make...
Uh, me I guess
Thanks!
Got my ticket paid off at the last minute, as usual.
Now I'm broke again, so I'll be doing pipe demos all week for 99¢ a pop.
If you can't find me, I'm probably sleeping under the bus. ...
You can also puff out both spots without popping holes, then pick out the thinner glass with a small rod (4mm).
Looks like I missed it, too. Maybe NS should revisit the Cosmic Orange formula when they're not so busy, hmm? I miss that shit.
I miss Cosmic Orange; I used the last of my old stash a couple years ago. How much do you have, and how much do you want for it?
Holy shit.
I've seen a lot of people say they feel lucky to have known Mer. This reminds me that he was lucky too.
