I'd like to get $35/ea. I make all the lined tubing, uv in the lined tubing. Pocket-sized sherlocks.
I also make fume iso spoons with schott and a linework cap for $15/ea.

Anything with reversals should be $50.
Nice work . Nice price .
Don't mind nomads comment just because he had locked himself into a box with his view of pricing and work does not mean you price is wrong .
Anything with a reversal worth 50
You have to understand he went from a cc to a bravo I think and runs on two cons .
Stays in his comfort zone and rarely steps out .

Just trying to help. I have made them for $35 before in California when someone else paid for glass and gas etc... I could make 3 in a long day. I think it’s too much work for the money.
But you forgot about my national 6-b and OxyCon . I used that after and before the cc.
I do them now occasionally for $65 a Sherlock bubbler and they sell. Slowly but they sell.
We don’t have a lot of reversals around here really. People think they are played out for the most part.
I have repeat customers from 10-20 years ago that still buy them.
It’s true I am concentrating on 4 bubbler designs and 4 spoon designs because they sell.
Actually 6 designs I show at trade shows and that is it.
I can’t keep up with the work.
Not sure what the torch has to do with it. You can only get the glass so hot without boiling it. So a hotter torch should not make a difference really. Not to mention the bravo is a very hot and concentrated flame. I love it. Just as fast as my cc was. The cc used a k tank every 2 days though. So that is $80-$120 week oxygen bill. Versus the $15 every 3 week propane bill I pay now for the bravo.
The cc had maybe 1/4 inch larger flame and a premix center fire. The center fire on the cc make muddy fumes.
I have made like 15 reballs in my whole carreer and it sounds like I made them in about the time it took nomad to make one. Nomad, I dont even think you put any kicks in your reballs, so why do it take you the same amount of time it takes you to make a bubbler??

The finished piece I was talking about.
There's no picture there.
Also, are you saying it takes you 8+ hours to wig up three balls and make three spoons with them?
I'm baffled.

It will never come true
This thread is about Sherlock’s not spoons.
How long did it take to make 3 Sherlock’s?
Takes 2 1/2-3 hours to make a Sherlock bubbler with two inside out reversals fully worked. $65 is a steel. That’s like $20 hour.
Yeah I worked 11:00 am-7:00 pm in California. I took a smoke break between bubbs maybe an energy drink too.
