    My bench setup came with a box of scraps that had alot of pre pulled stringers of some high quality color buried in it, I don't know which red this is.

    The thermocouple was fried but after replacing it we still need a new infinite switch. Going to place the order tomorrow, in the mean time ive been practicing restrictions, marbles and other little sculpting techniques. Not having kiln has slowed me down but once its up and running I will have a lot more practice on the small things. Local shop owner is going to order me some joints so i can make him some bowl stands for photographing his bowls. We have a good relationship and he is a really awsome dude. So far the glassblowing venture has been great and lots of fun, I can see the stepping stones forming, waiting for me to find my path.

    Hello everybody, its been a while since I've posted here. For the last 2 months my kiln has been out of order, I replaced the thermocouple and the infinite switch, but it seems there is another wire that needs a repair/replacement. While I have not been able to anneal my creations, I have still been working on basic tube work and making little marbles, pendants, beads, etc. Just flame annealing and bench cool I've been using the rip n' tear to open my mouth pieces lately too and I thank all of you for pushing me towards using that method. Here is a little sample of what I have been working on lately. Big thanks to Melting Pot and all the members, much respect

    The face on this pendant was sculpted by me and the implosion was done by a friend of mine. The second one was made by me. Thanks for looking! Click image for larger version.
