The ring around my planet was in fact not very well welded ; it literally exploded, crushed in my hands with micro chips of glass everywhere on my desk and on me.
Worse than the loss of the piece, the glass chips battlefield. Took me 2 hours to wash up this nightmare. I took no chance, washing and cleaning everything, looking everywhere, I always have the terrible fear of getting one of theses in my skin or even worse, in my vaping material, or food, I also have a kitty cat, I had to keep her away, I get paranoid and it's such a bad vibe, I feel like I have been contaminated or something. I have to be 100% there is no tiny bit left anywhere.
I sent the picture to kathy, I still have my feedback pending. I hope for a refund but not too hard.
The welds were too small and it also shows how bad the annealing is. I did nothing special, just handling it with both hands and loading a bowl on top, one hand on the ring, the other on the planet.. This is fragile, beware guys if you want to keep it in one piece.
I had a bad feeling about that planetary ring from the beginning.
Anyway, I soon will have a one of a kind, custom made worked recycler that just have been made by my favorite blower. I'm happy I still buy artisan pieces, I couldn't only rely on the mass produced stuff.
WOW sorry Roger,I have always thought that may have been a suspect ,I would think its kind of hard to tack weld that ring to the globe, to not destroy the integrity of the roundness of it by the heat of welding the ring to it. I guess very little amount of glass and heat is what is done, leaving you with a fragile unit per say on the ring. The rest of the unit looks good and now you have a round ball rig,and hopefully you have removed all the harmful shards for you and your pets. And I would think they will make good on it and wish you well on the situation.
