    Been super busy but got some interest in my glass soooooo.........

    I cleaned and rearranged my entire studio, ordered some glass and got to work. I am trying to setup a meeting this weekend with a potential customer that I am really excited about. Started pumping out some wrap and rake spoons, made this sherlock for a buddy of mine. Looking forward to more progress! Thanks for looking.

    Thanks man. Here are some of the wrap and rake prodos I am doing for my potential customer. If I get them to buy it could lead to consistent orders. I am going to sell these for $12 wholesale. According to my spreadsheet this still gives me $20/hr and pays for my supplies but I am not making a profit for my business. It takes me 25 min to make these right now. If I cut that time down significantly I will be able to make a better profit but I don't want to go lower then $12 a piece. What do you guys think? Thanks for looking.

    shop owners in my area would not pay 12. i have noticed that they would offer me 4.50 5.00$ each for those.
    if i was going blazing fast i could do each in 15 mins which would equal out to about 10 $ an hour; with me taking all the risks and investing alot to be able to make basically minimum wage. if i got really lucky and rolled a + 10 in speech spell i might jedi mind trick them into giving me 6$ each and make up to 16 an hour

    Congrats on the sale. Bend over backwards for those people if you have to. 12 bucks each for wrap n rakes is awsome.

    Finally got my flame set right for io work without overworking the glass. I was using too much oxy. Made these chillums and a little unobtanium elephant for my lady. Going to make more of these chillums. Liking the shape of the blue one the best. Thanks fer looking.
