Thanks guys. I really enjoy making these. I've lived in the woods my whole life. I get a lot of my inspiration from my property.

I only made a couple yesterday. A women contacted me and facebooked me all day long. Spring can be very distracting.

**DEmptyGlass** · 03-15-2015, 03:21 PM

My latest piece. This is the the first time the stem weld went perfect...and I've done it like 10 times by now so really happy about that haha

Live the colors. What did you use?

**DEmptyGlass** · 03-15-2015, 03:43 PM

This was a piece of serendipity tubing I bought (north star amber purple over star white)

**BORO** · 03-15-2015, 07:13 PM

I got these dialed in pretty quickly time wise. I can make 2 a day,. At the bench switch hitting out of the kiln. 6 hours give or take with breaks. 90% Medium wall tube. The small stuff is x heavy. By the end I will make some random extra prep filling in time Before they are each done. < A plus.

It's a inline , with a 7 hole diffuser cap. (Upside down cup with holes) not a true second stage per say. People seem like them? function has been great imo.

The vac line tubing came from Bugz boro. Nice and high "color to clear ratio".no scratches, no bubbles, even walls.The price was unbeatable for a bag of "shorts."

The electric blue velvet was from Jeff's pieces. Again it was very afordable. I had the dreaded "dream crusher" Coe problems with thicker sections of the E.B.V. I soon realized , as long as I work the blue tube so it is a thinner wall on the final product I am fine. It just has to be thinner than the original n.s. wonder tube. The original tube is very thick, so it's a moot point? Just a little thinner, so far so good.

The black backround piece is the original prototype from a few weeks ago.
The white backround piece is from the day(yesterday) I made the 6/7th ones. It was FRESH OUT OF THE KILN , just this afternoon. It's brother was sold, buyer chomping at the bit. No pics.
