I really like the black and white GonG bowls, they look really nice.

And the Slyme (maybe?) and black combo always looks good, your work is really starting to look great!

The welds on the last bubblers look good, but I'm really in no place to be giving critique of welds, so probably disregard that as anything but a compliment

Thanks Rookie! Yeah its slyme and black. As far as welds go they are pretty solid.
It's all about melting the glass together so that it is all one piece. And bridging, bridging is by far the best damn thing on Earth when it comes to assembly.
I torque on them a bit to test them.

Here is some of my latest work.

Ya baby, nice work. Black shirly's got some action goin down!

If you dont mind me askin, what size/thickness tube you start with on pinchies? I like the thickness and shape for the iso's, thick but not too thick, and the right size pinch. It would be lifetime debter.

Also, nubber thanks for bringing up the punty trick like two years ago. I like using my jaws and doin up like 20 and switching em out, but maybe I should start doing the tweezers thing.

Your shit looks awesome. You've mentioned "blown in screen" and "multi hole bowl" - any change you could take a pic of the inside of the bowl push and show me exactly what you mean by these two terms? I'm quite curious. Thanks!

thanks matt! I have been sworn to secrecy and (orally) contractually obligated not to show pictures of the bowl in photos. The guy who taught me Randall Straight (str8glass on instagram) told me he would show me but I could never show people pics or disclose the details of how he does it. I refer people to him if they want to learn so please contact him.
I am however at liberty to say that Bandhu (Scott Dunham) covers the technique in Contemporary Lampworking. although its not showing how to do a bowl he does cover how to drill holes in glass with tungsten.

I like the color combo on the sherly!
