    Default Trade: fully worked mini push bub with snorkel carb.

    I'm feeling nostalgic and flashing back to my push bub with a snorkel carb days.

    I propose anot her trade.

    Here's the details.

    1- fully worked top to bottom (reversal, dots ,encalmos, etc.)
    2- must be smaller than a bic and still function
    3-push bub
    4-snorkel carb

    Simple yet super complex at the same time.

    So who wants to play in the sandbox with me?

    Same rules as sherlock trade. I wI'll make it official when we get 20 peeps.
    Then assigned numbers will be exchanged via random number picker

    Nice . Thanks for kicking it off dan.
    This one will be more of an advanced trade, which will take alot of you out of your comfort zone.
    That's a good thing.

    Go practice some small shit and sign up if you have what it takes.

    I'm in... You know I got the mini skills and all I'd need is one of my mini bubs and add a snorkel.

    Wow, soooo out of my realm of comprehension and understanding of glass thus far but I'm sure this will be a fun one for anyone involved and I can't wait for some pictures to roll in... this is going to be EPIC!

    Here are a few, from my last round of "carb caps."

    No down stem... It would just break the first time you tried to clean it? I never knew anyone who "wanted" to use one?

    I don't expect they will ever be used but the challenge comes in Making one that small that could.

    So the last time I did a mini push bub was like 5 years ago when I made this one.
    I'm gonna scale it down and see what I can do with this style for the trade.
    I'm gonna try to get at least 8 worked sections in it.
    Looking forward to seeing what I can do 5 years later .

    O you wanna go section for section? This could easily get outta hand sir. ( giggles) challenge accepted! But seriously glad you posted that it gives me a mark to shoot for or try and exceed. Glad you inspired me to put in that level of detail in a mini snorkel for this trade, cause I ain't tried but I know it'll be a snap for me. Gonna try and get stupid cool with this one i am.
