[SpiralArchitect]

Damn dude, it's amazing how good you have become! I have to ask, do you have a lot of 'mess - ups'? Or are we seeing the majority of your work?

I have to say that last tube looks slick dude.... you can really see the improvements. Keep it up dude, I'm seriously impressed.

 

[Clear_Dome]

yes I think the last one will be a more serious piece if I dont mess it up this after noon LOL my shapping is getting better and my welding skill too ....and yes , all the stuff I have made as been post here .I broke maybe like 4-5 spoons in the begining but all the rest is here . I dont spend a lot of time on blowing glass , maybe about 3-4 hours per week sometime more sometime less , I try to make all my preps before to focus my time when I'm beind the torch .It's something really fun when you like to built some fonctional things

[Hennessy1414]

I love how you can kick back and be like "hmmm I wonder how well this would work"

you skills are truly a work of art keep em coming


p.s i see all of the pics as well

 

[illadelph]

i love every custom piece that you make. i can't wait till you break down and let me snag something. beautiful mouthpiece and inline. does anyone know where i can buy inlines like i see many people on this forum own and like the ones that clear dome blows?

 

[Clear_Dome]

HEELLLLL THANNKS N3RD I think I'm on the right way now :

as you can see the male gong that I was using to hold the femal one got stuck in the the femal gong it was stuck for ever really but after trying all possible way to remove it I decide to take my time and cut a section of the male gong with my dremel than remove the rest and I got it almost perfect , there is only to really small scratch on the inner surface of the gong but it is WAY better than loosing the whole piece for that

does that seem like good pricing CD?

 

[Clear_Dome]

I dont get it , is the price for the repair ? or they sold does broken bong ? cause if it is for repair I would say yes the price seem ok

 

[SpiralArchitect]

Damn dude, that is some nice work up there!!! Unfortunate about the stuck piece. Why do you think that happened?

You really gotta get a clean place for snapping pictures, I was fixated on a hair that I thought was a crack in the glass for 2 minutes.

 

[Spiderman]

Ya dude!!!!! Absolutely killing it, that one looks spot on. Sucks about the male joint, but it happens. Good to learn a few tricks for how to fix it now!

Clear Dome, I am greatly impressed by your continuous progress my friend. Dont stop going, you are making leaps and bounds daily.

Keep on melting, you will make some great shit.

Same thing here SA.

Haven't checked every single image in this thread, the latest images work for me but clicking any of the thumbs (thumbnails still working) on page 13 for example I get this:



It would suck if turboimagehost decided to delete images or close up shop, since the majority of images posted here are hosted there. It might not be a bad idea to start using a more well known service such as http://photobucket.com/ or http://imageshack.us/ from now on.

EDIT: Confirmed that they aren't working. The thumbnails are still displaying but clicking them results in the above error.

 

[Clear_Dome]

I just made that inline , this one is to put on a bong , look great ! was a pain to make LOL pretty hard :

...with some cuba run

 

[Clear_Dome]

long time no see, I'm working hard on the reversal , this is really hard ...the lil ball loog great on the side of the first flower of the year also a spoon for a friend and a lil sherly for a girl the 14mm elbow is for a friend too

 

[SpiralArchitect]

Damn, that sherlock is sick. Lucky girl.

How round did the marble turn out? Spiderman was talking about getting some sort of 'casts' in the future, what do you think?

 

[Clear_Dome]

yeah I love the sherlock , this is my first and the shape is good but flow is not the best that I have seen as the neck is small but it seem to work fine !!

How round did the marble turn out? Spiderman was talking about getting some sort of 'casts' in the future, what do you think?<------humm , not to sure to understand what you talk about ? I did'nt remember spyder talking about a cast ? I just got a marble mold with 6 size of marble this week , it work really great , marble came out really round , maybe not perfect but i can roll on the floor pretty straight

 

[illadelph]
