For the steam roller stems I need to order more heavy wall 16mm. I only had one stick. I had no idea so many would want them. Just so it's clear I don't want to take credit for that design. That design falls on @blankrider 's shoulders. Pm me if interested guys.
And yes @Ratchett I have black...
@Snappo A possibility.
@syrupy that's the dream my friend but I'm am still a long ways off from that. Granted I am much further along than any glassblower should be at only 2 months on the torch but, I've gotta stay realistic. It'll be quite awhile before you see big complicated stuff from me...
I'm working on uppin my game guys so I can pull off all the things you want to see. I'm on a waiting list for a far bigger torch right now. Then it's on like donkey kong!
Yes I've seen it in person. That pic really doesn't tell the whole story does it? Lol looks sooooooooooo much cooler in person.
Use a flash and the colors pop much better btw.
I don't think it'll cover them any more than the factory ones do now. They look to me to be right under the lip of the stem already. We shall soon see. I placed my order and will be pumping some out by weeks end.
Yeah the stretching part is hard to do consistently. It's much easier for a person of my current skill level to start with tubing that's very close to what I already need then tweak it a bit. These should be some very beefy solo stems with the design I have in mind. Factory solo stems actually...
I've dabbled a bit on the ssv wand. Working on getting that flare just right.
With the solo the o.d. Is the number that matters and that number is 14. With the nano the I.d. Is the number that matters and that number is 9.5 with an o.d. Of 12-13 on a stock non heavy stem. I've measured 300...
I don't do j hooks yet as bending tubing is still hard for me. I'll post a pic of everything I currently have. Also you can look back through the thread and if there's something you see that strikes you I can whip it up.
Currently in stock:
Obviously the 4 on the left still need finished but...
I'll be able to as soon as I'm able to place this glass order. ;)
Shit! That said nano not solo. And here I thought I was being witty! Lol
Yes I can do them for nano now.
Ok guys I wanna get whipping up some solo stuff but I've gotta make a few more bucks to be able to place my glass order. So here's some fresh nano stems or you're more than welcome to pre order some solo stuff (it'll just be a bit longer wait).
So here ya go:
Rasta drip
"Merica" drip
Tuxedo...
