    got my torchstand yesterday!! this thing is awesome, huge thanks to one of my oldest friends for welding it up for me. I got my Nortel hooked up too. also a new mib and crashed out dogs on the couch in the studio. first time using imgur so lets see if this works correctly.

    He is a bernese mtn dog x black lab. 5 months old, he's gonna be a big boy.

    I grew up with shepherds too. When we bought our house she was the first thing we got. She is a damn good dog.

    Wow that last piece is sweeeet! Your tube spirals are really coming along. Torch stand is cool, have a friend you used one for awhile. Seems like you can move around the torch, and move the torch much more easily. The only thing is where do you put all your tools for easy access?

    When i dont need the stand it pulls right up to my bench.

    When i'm using it i only pull it back about 2 feet or so just enough to give me working room between my bench and torch so my tools are still easily accessable. It is awesome for tube swirls as you can get a nice heatbase on a lot of tubing without fighting gravity as much. I can work tube straight up and down and build some heat without it going all wonky. It's also nice to have that freedom of movement when working on a larger piece.

    Great work as always, I really love the mouthpiece on that one. All around a very organic natural looking piece. Keep it up and keep on posting, I really enjoy seeing it!

    Now that, is some excellent fume work.

    From the side, it reminds me of an atomic explosion.

    Good show.
