Re: Fresh out of the kiln
I do it this way so that I have a solid handle when attaching the mouthpiece. I hate using grabbers to hold stuff when making attachments. I guess I could do that after attaching the mouthpiece though. I'll give it a try, thank you!

Re: Fresh out of the kiln
just attempted a venture into a minitube myself, ended up getting cracks and what not. I didn't intend to try to make one but I was encasing with xenon green and trans green and then dotted, by the time it was melted in was so big and hot I figured screw it, I could try to pull it down into a single section tube. My arm hurt from holding that way longer than i should have, rollers would be nice. It would have been smart to pull the section in half shape both parts and then attach them. For a 100% unintended experiment it was ok, obvious problems with design and what not (nose burneresque, mouthpiece section strange, gong seal etc) but figured I would share anyway.

Re: Fresh out of the kiln
Awesome work gom, I am loving mini tubes myself and yes, its crazy to go from spinning a little spoon on a blow tube to doing a whole rig even when they are light, its still tricky....just have to build up to it I guess. I myself have been making sections and joining them.

Re: Fresh out of the kiln
Yeah I am thinking of working with some clear for a bit myself on the mini tubes before I throw too much down and mess it all up. I love the work I see in this thread! Once again thanks for the motivation all!

Re: Fresh out of the kiln
Cool Munkey, I still haven't messed with colored tubing yet, but looking forward.
I just pulled this one out, smaller than the last because it has only 2/3 the sections

Re: Fresh out of the kiln
The blue is coil potted then sleeved. The green is a new type of dicroh/anodised tube. It's hard to tell in the pic

Re: Fresh out of the kiln
Awesome goat. For that bottom did you make it seperate and then join? Or implode that into the bottom of the can?

Re: Fresh out of the kiln
Yeah, just in the bottom of the can. Made it on the end of a point then shaped the tube out.
