So maybe I should cut my losses while I'm ahead?
And find a new customer?

always look for new customers. you can bang out those pipes so fast you probably could have multiple lines

Yeah I could do some inside out?

**Nomad** · 05-23-2017, 08:27 AM

I want to make inside out 5 and 6 piece bubblers with dichro for $50 each?
But I can design whatever you want?

I actually am not that fast anymore. I used to be a lot faster 10 years ago.

**Nomad** · 05-23-2017, 09:47 AM

Most I have done is 38 spoons in a day in California. They were like half colored on the end.
I know people who make 80 clear ones a day.
I used a Carlisle cc bench burner back then too.

I had a lot less distractions there too.

**Jackass Glass** · 05-23-2017, 09:49 AM

totally hear ya. but thats still real good for the consistency you produce.

i like the dichroic line work. do you know tom covelle on Instagram? i think he is @tom_covelle_glass

I randomly ended up following him and he does great lined wig wag etc with dichroic etc. very cool. maybe some inspiration.

I like to do one of a kind bubbler too. I'm thinking about doing one all inside out with silver fume only next.
The pictures are what I have in stock.

**Nomad** · 05-24-2017, 02:53 AM

Finally got paid and sold a few items in stock this afternoon.
I'm behind owing people money. So I'm going to try to sell as much as possible.
I really need glass and bills. You get the point.

ABR has 40% off sale on asian glass right now. So even know I get a discount the sale is better.
$230.19 was my total but I am waiting on final invoice. I got like $341.34 worth of glass ordered too. That is a lot.

**Jackass Glass** · 05-24-2017, 10:34 AM

nice score.

**Nomad** · 05-24-2017, 10:51 AM

Eh most of the time it's $75 shipping for 1 large shipping box with about 1 case plus a variety case.
But I love the discount on the already competitive price.

I will need more color rods soon.

**Jackass Glass** · 05-24-2017, 04:47 PM

Do you use exclusively china glass? I use a lot of the cobalt but haven't done much else with it.

**Nomad** · 05-24-2017, 04:53 PM

I use Asian tubing a lot.
But I like northstar colors the best.

**Nomad** · 05-24-2017, 04:55 PM

The Asian cobalt isn't as consistent as northstar cobalt.

**Nomad** · 05-25-2017, 07:43 AM

I'm trying to sell all the glass. It's taking a few days I guess.

**Nomad** · 05-25-2017, 07:45 AM

I sold all the Sherlock bubbler I showed the shop.
But only a couple of spoons. The guy said that another blowers wrap and rake were doing better because they have a east coast bowl push. In so many words.
