Millies are cool, but those tubes are crazy...crazy expensive too...but man! I wonder ohw many domes one could get off a 16 ounce tube...I understand why they charge so much now for worked shit.

How do you pull your own tubes like that, is t possible? I love wigwag patterns

You can start with a tube and lay the color over it and melt it in then wig wag it but I don't have that kind of skill yet!

thanks ngg i really like it. maybe ill have you make a couple other things can you do an 18mm female to female adaptor and an 18mm bowl? have you ever tried making any spoons like this video [video=youtube;YQlb_WeG2ww]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQlb_WeG2ww[/video]

Awesome, if you want it just pm me! I made one kinda like the video just with less lines. I cant lay color like that yet, I still get thick and thing spots and it makes it harder to melt in and rake.
I have 18mm female joints on the way, just ordered some green blue and black 18mm female pieces so they should be here next wed or thursday. I don't have any 18mm male joints to make the bowl. I will have to make another order.

$5 plus $2 for shipping for the earings, you can choose the color. There is a glass studio up by chico that looks pretty good, we were thinking about going up there for their weekend classes. I tried a couple christmas ornaments just before christmas but didn't really keep trying, I was more interested in making oil stuff!
I posted pic of another silver fumed pipe, only $5. It's a bit smaller. I can make you a bigger one though. I remember you said big bowl, I'll make some today with a big bowl!

Yeah bro! That dome is tight. 18mm male joints for sure, I'll pick up a couple bowls off you too.

This is the kit I've been looking at, and for like an extra hundred bucks you can upgrade the major burner to the redmax. What do you think? That kit with the redmax, plus propane, oxy, a kiln, and some glass?

You'll be set up better than me! You can get the oxygen tanks on craigslist for about 125, you just have to make sure it's not a rental tank otherwise when you take it in they won't fill it for you! I just get the blue rhino propane from safeway or the gas station. only $20 and you just swap it for a full one. The little bbq propane tank will go through about (4) 282 cf oxygen tanks (biggest tank they make)!

just under the threads and just above the white sticker there is the band that goes around the top. If it has any thing on it, it is a rental tank. Owner tanks are smooth all the way around, rental tanks will have a business name or something like formed into the metal band. I learned this the hard way, well kinda... I bought a rental not knowing the difference! The first place I went sent me away, so I tried the shop across town and they took it and gave me an owner tank in exchange. There was a kid working and I don't think he even knew or maybe just didn't care as I walked in as he was walking to the door to lock up for the night.

Whoa, thanks for the heads up!

So that kit looks legit? I mean, between that and the tanks and the kiln and glass, looking at about 2 grand...plus I need to set up a workshop...so like another 500 at least.

Might be a while before I can squirrel the money aside for that sorta initial investment...times are tough at the moment.
