Fresh out of the kiln

**Moon Munkey** · 03-07-2015, 03:17 PM

This thread is great! I love to see everyone's work

**genentics** · 03-07-2015, 03:44 PM

Curious, How do you get those red tones in nebulas? I read that copper is the best way to get red but it's quite toxic and I'd rather not use it.

**brads** · 03-07-2015, 03:50 PM

If you consider copper "quite toxic" then maybe glassblowing isn't for you. Or try cadmium/selenium for reds...

**genentics** · 03-07-2015, 03:55 PM

Hmm Alright thanks. I've just come across other threads on this forum saying to stay away from copper when fuming since it's much more toxic then silver and gold.

**genentics** · 03-07-2015, 03:56 PM

I'm confident in my ventilation setup. I just thought maybe there was a safer option.

Wow, crazy. Thank you. I need to start investing in more frit to experiment. I only have cobalt, black, and jackpot.

The internal drain dropping through 6 Jesus seals on a new fabegg style recycler .
It works amazing....

Christ on a stick, that is sick!

**hashmasta-kut** · 03-10-2015, 08:41 AM

i thought a jesus seal was a technique where you join tubes that are closed to each other, do you mean you did a 6 jesus seal at once or one at a time in order to make this, or something else entirely?

**STROKER** · 03-10-2015, 09:12 AM

here is a pic of the finished piece very hard to see what's going on but kut it is basically a tube that has 2 large Marias back to back then the Jesus seals go around the perimeter of those Marias tying the two pieces together and leaving a center section for the internal drain to run through.

**hashmasta-kut** · 03-10-2015, 09:43 AM

right on, thanks for the pic and explanation. its a bit like a cross between a Hamm and Bates piece.

**STROKER** · 03-10-2015, 09:46 AM

No problem. To say hamm and bates have inspired me would be an understatement .
I do think I'm on to something with this design and will have few fully worked versions next week.

really elegant shape, love the fingerprint like lines.

**Nomad** · 03-10-2015, 05:12 PM

nice recycler. I have yet to try one. I am so busy with what I make now. I even have two more pieces that are on the back burner.

**GhostWorks** · 03-11-2015, 02:45 PM

Just pulled this out. Definitely a progression piece for me. UV reactive mili on the back of the can, Mai tai pink and mega Mai tai marbles on the side, fume/air trap mouthpiece and dome, opal bridge and 3 hole diffy. Hits like a champ, perfect draw. 14mm.

**DEmptyGlass** · 03-11-2015, 02:56 PM

This is incomplete but just came out of the kiln...does it still count?

this Is my second run at encalmo and my largest piece I've worked to date.

**DEmptyGlass** · 03-11-2015, 02:57 PM

Ghoooost looking good Man. I am having so muxh fun with rigs right now. You should try some worked joints. They are easy to make and reeeeally take your work to the next level
