two piece multi-section sherlocks

[Foxy999]

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.

Ouch

[Nomad]

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 .

Cheap spoons with reversal endcaps have always wholesaled for 15 ish round here

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.

[Nomad]

I do them now occasionally for $65 a Sherlock bubbler and they sell. Slowly but they sell.

[Nomad]

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.

[Nomad]

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.

[Nomad]

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??

[Swim]

and why is it worth fifty bucks? serious questions

[Nomad]

The finished piece I was talking about.

[H1JACK3R]

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.

[Nomad]

This thread is about Sherlock’s not spoons.

[Nomad]

How long did it take to make 3 Sherlock’s?

[Nomad]

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.

3, in a "long" day? wow.

[Nomad]

Yeah I worked 11:00 am-7:00 pm in California. I took a smoke break between bubbs maybe an energy drink too.
