Lever2stackS's Progression Thread

Looks great man! I appreciate the kind words and the hospitality man. One suggestion I have, I typically pop and push the bowl before I do the weld. The litle hole makes it a little harder to puff, but not that bad. It's just way easier to get a nice bowl if you push it before you do the weld.

Thanks RVP117 It came out better than I thought it would

@TLKQ No thank you bro I had a blast. Yeah I was having a hard time remembering the steps I just went for it without no game plan, but that makes more sense especially when I start adding drop stems to make bubblers. It was my first go I know the things not to do next time.

Here's some pics of the hammer from last night It's so freakin' beautiful I almost don't want to sell it lol.

Hope you like pics cause I got shot's from all angles.

You weren't shitting, that definitely kiln striked up nicely. Well done Levi, way to max out that Lynx! It won't be long before you'll be dropping in down stems next, keep it up!

**ROGUE** · 10-25-2012, 06:35 PM

Awesome job Levi, your stuff is looking great. I'm real happy to see a new artist in the area.

**Matt P** · 10-25-2012, 07:07 PM

Wow Levi! You're really coming along! Your colors look great, like usual, and great job on making some multi-section pieces!! Again, I'm real impressed by your colors, you've really figured out your colors/lynx!!

Hell yeah it is thanks Faded and everybody else for all the kind words. I'm digging the W/R's for sure I did a couple tonight when I raked both directions came out pretty sweet. Bad thing is I just got used to using the blow kit and my swivel is jacked up beyond all belief it keeps catching and now it just don't feel right making pipes without it. I tried fixing it but it is spent I got a new one coming but it is going to seem like forever till monday when it get's here.

**Loki Glass** · 10-26-2012, 04:52 AM

Are you supposed to lubricate the swivel somehow? I've never seen anything about it, but it seems like it would be a good idea to keep things moving like they should. Maybe something non-toxic like glycerin.

I'm not sure jonny but that's not the case with mine with mine it pulled apart when I was removing it and when I put it back together I messed it up now when it get's to a certain spot it catches.

dude awesome work Levi!!! sickkk hammer. Double amber purple? and what color is that last spoon?

**Lever2stackS** · 10-26-2012, 09:22 AM

Thanks brother, The hammer is amber purple and that last spoon is green exotic.

Here's one of the W/R's that I raked both directions I love this look kinda makes it look like a weave of some sort. Sorry for the finger prints

Thank you crasz for this I've been out in the studio all day doing the double rake and it is the effin bomb really cool effect. If you get it just right like you said so where it is just rake with no gaps between color it kinda looks like 3d zippers all over it cool tech thanks +rep.

**Dan Kooper** · 10-26-2012, 01:20 PM

Yeah. Real nice job on those. Those welds are 100% better than my welds at your experience level. Keep it up. You definately got it in you.
I'm starting to show my friends to help me fill orders, I hope they catch on like you did.
