Well I guess that makes up my mind. Thanks for the info. Now to get the money saved to buy one.

I"m loving the turtles by the way. I'm not much of a turtle person myself, though I do like them. It is cool that you can do a honeycomb for their back.

Just came in from long night at torch tryin to get case full again! cant wait to show some new pics

Off to chi town to jump back on the furthur tour and then hit slopes At Keystone. So will be M.I.A. for a bit. But Thanks Hippi, Steak, and constant flow for the comments

Hippi- I try to spend four or five hours in shop five days a week, sometimes less or sometimes more. Been holed up in there for 12 hours before, lol. Cant wait to see your turtle Steak! And constant I got right at 2 months under my belt on torch, took one four hour hollow class and one four hour solid class a week before i got my torch goin and lots of practice since then.

So here is my work from monday night! Finally Did A good w&r that I twisted on mouth piece. Also tried a new Idea for putting signature/personal marking non carb side its a kinda spiral thing with dots. I like it alot more then spirals on first ones, wha do u think?

pop the bowl hole back a little further and push with that as the center, and your shape will be better. you want the front end to be the highest point, and this will help that.

Other than that your color work looks great. For the time you have in, you are rockin it, nice work!

always like seeing how people progress. i've been thinking about getting a kiln from the glass hive as well. just a regular one though, i like the tall one, i donno that i need the height yet? good to have room to grow though...

Awesome work! I really like your pipes

Are you figuring this out on your own or have you had any classes or instruction?

**GlassFreak** · 03-10-2010, 12:07 AM

big carb and big mouth piece are my cup o tea, i like stuff that hits like a tank, the bowl hole is the important thing.

I think I said this above - but Yes, I took one four hour hollow class and one four hour solid class. One each weekend the two weekends before I openened my shop.

Also took a two day weekend bead making class As well couple months before boro classses

I learn much better seeing somethin done firsdt hand and having someone to ask questions when I try it for first time. So the classes really helped me. I would love to travel and learn from lots of people through out the next couple years. This forum and others also have helped alot.
