Great colours man, the slides are looking sweet... you might want to keep an eye on your hole size in your bowls, it's one of those things that shop owners and customers pay a lot of attention to.
Keep it up brother, you're doing great.

[TlkQ]

He said earlier in the thread that where he is they use glass screens and prefer gigantic holes. I feel like the middle ground would be ice pinch style

[steak351]

i make pushbowls for myself with a tinier hole, most people even use metal screens, i find it very frustrating that germany is sooo far behind ....here is no scene or something like that..but i´ll keep it up haha

i have great news also , the herbie did not run as expected so i phoned the arnold company and talked to a very friendly guy and he said i should send it to them they will repair it send it back in a week or something like that and i dont have to pay for it

for the holes i am really working on improving my constrictions because i want to be able to do it

kind regards frank

yea the pokes would be a good way to do it and leave a nice size hole for a screen and when i do my bowl holes i heat just the tip about an 1/8 of an inch for a second or two and then put the very tip in the flame watch for the sodium flare to see that you just have a litte bit of the tip in there and then blow kinda hard so that it forces the hole out of the front and rather small to maybe reem a little then preheat push a little to set the hole sise and then heat one more time and then sink your push in and it should leave you with nice lookin holes with thick bowls!

[faded]

i love your work. the slides look really nice. we should trade a marble. i really like yours.

[Albino Sasquatch]

yea man mad props keep the culture flowing in other parts of the world! hope to make it over that way one of these days! do a little flaming on the other side of the globe

[steak351]

kind regards frank

[steak351]

hi here is some stuff i made after my herbie came back from the arnold company, and some sections i made, oh and my first try at dropping a downstem in and sealing it and welding a ground joint ontop, triple seal idk exactly what it is called, made out of broken pieces i had laying around so i could figure out how to do it, i think i got the idea






















kind regards frank
