Looks great LowTide! Congrats on the house & good luck setting up the new studio man.
My only recommendation would be adding 'walls' to your hood. If you can enclose the sides of your hood going...
I'm also interested!
Awesome video, glad you guys made it, thanks for sharing. It's so great to see this part of our industry, where my glass comes from!
I recently got a new Paragon kiln, and I noticed in the manual they recommend coating the bottom of the kiln with glass separator or kiln wash for added protection. I imagine this is most relevant...
I feel your pain Gold Fire...
Sometimes it feels tough doing business up here. Small-ish population, but anything outside the borders can incur massive duty fees, brokerage fees, obscene shipping...
Hey guys,
Thanks for all the thoughtful responses! I've actually come up with a solution that works exceptionally well for my own setup.
First off, I wanted a solution that didn't involve...
Any of you guys use a misting fan in your shop? I just spent a half hour checking out different models online, I've been looking into getting one for the shop this summer. It's already getting...
If you toke, save all your usuable pieces... use 'em for a week then toss 'em. Never clean a piece again. Live the good life.
No kidding. Those pumpkins are sweet. The glassblowers in China deserve so much more for their work.
I'm just grateful there are so many beautiful people here in NA that buy our work and...
Sold awhile back. Closed.
I bought a case of 25x4mm jade from ABR - it works fine on it's own, but doesn't seem to want to play well with other tubing. Made a couple pipes with green on one side, amber on the other...
I like spun glass. Gave it a try last Christmas, making some trees and what not. I was able to make some nice gifts for my family - but so many of the pieces I made were riddled with thousands of...
Put me on the 'no' bandwagon. You're creating the wind with electricity. Now you want to turn it back into electricity?
Just use less electricity to create less wind (the right amount) in the...
New T-Rex sig pipe ready to go! Many deformed owls were made in the process.

The other day I was making some simple bowls with dots on 'em - and noticed that this one colour sprayed out brown fume.
Fortunately the colours were horrible anyway so I wasn't too sad about...
Well thanks for the replies fellas! Sorry for the rather unclear question before - most posts I make in the morning seem to be pretty shitty.
You make it sound so easy HMK! I'll have to give...
Awesome work everyone!
When you guys do your rainbow fume work (I'm lookin' at you HMK) - are the colours WSIWYG? When you put them on, you obviously have control over what colour you are making...
Tongue tornadooooooooooooo
Geez. Sorry to hear that, standard. Keep us posted on how it goes. I'm curious to hear what happens. I probably run around the same % of breakage as Kaizen, which is annoying but manageable.

I like dealing with distributors. The key is to make sure you're earning enough to be happy making the same piece over & over.
Try coming up with some new designs - something wacky, something...
Very cool! Sure looks like a lot of work to make just one tube eh? And so much specialized equipment to make it! Real neat.
Never really knew what was in my tube amp. I'm assuming something...
This year I stopped the prodo work a few days before Christmas but kept at the torch to try to make something I could give as presents so I wouldn't have to buy stuff - I'm always trying to get out...
hey man, I wanted to sell mine back to you because I didn't like them and one came unglued first day I used it. First you said you'd buy 'em back, then when I tried to get details you completely...
China white scratches and gets dirty very easily. Especially if it doesn't get melted completely smooth (sometimes it seems to stay a little rough) It's also probably not the best colour to start...
