    Thanks i wanted to try to make an octagonal one but the only way I could think of doing it was with my dremel I didn't have enough faith in myself to try if these don't work out I'll try to modify them I think they will be fine I've seen some round ones

    Really pretty, those chuggers look nice! Maybe a little top heavy? I would flatten out the base a bit more for stability but I’d be proud of those regardless. Well done Billy!

    I can see the devit on the bottom of your can, you need to go back and melt that out, you may have to go back to your marer pad several times on each eice, but you cant leave that, its literally stress in your glass, good job, keep working

    Can you point out exactly where? I looked over the pic and didn't see anything.

    And maybe I'm wrong but I thought by definition, devit can't be polished out. I thought devit was actual phase separation or something on a chemical level that made the glass incompatible.

    Seems like everyone refers to devit as what I consider surface scuzz. Or am I backwards?...:/

    But yeah.

    I didn't see any scuzz or weird looking spots to polish. Please point those out if possible

    Good looking pieces keep up the good work

    your linework is naive maybe try some fuming?

    OK.

    I see the tool marks.

    Agreed they should be cleaned up.

    But I don't think tool marks are called devit or referred to as devitrification.

    According to Wikipedia devitrification is crystalization on the surface or within the glass.

    Caused by fluctuations in heat

    Maybe it is a matter of opinion...?

    I was thinking since the tool marks are basically clear, that the devit definition didn't apply. But I could see how it might work either way.
