Can't wait for the next release
......
Would anyone care to share some pictures of their trippy tips? I want to see what some of the newest batch looks like installed on your rig. There should be another release this weekend, or early next week.

I use:
#2 From Left: "Glow in the dark Taper" - On my Old Goat mod with Blacklight LED that charges the glow-in-the-dark up.
"Black Flatmouth" on One of My GLV2s
and I have a caramel honeycomb for my other GLV2 that I don't have a picture of right now.

Bert, every time I see that orange and black off-axis wig-wag (I have no idea what those terms mean!), I just fall in love. But, I must must must wait for mine and perhaps someday, the little orange and black will come to live with me as well. Geeze Louise, it's beautiful.
Wig-Wag is what a zig-zagged spiral is called in parts of the glassblowing world. Off axis means that the centers of the spiral were at one time the openings of a tube. I think a video might explain a little better so I will go ahead and make one next time I am doing the off-axis wig wag design. I am going to be playing with glow in the dark and dichro on friday though...
Really! Very cool, Bert. Love to see the video.
Playing with glow in the dark on Friday??? Wow, I happen to know someone who ordered a glow in the dark!!!! LOL!~

Hi,
In lieu of posting my drip tip, I thought I'd post a picture of my REO project. This is what I plan to put one--or two--or more drip tips on.
The door was made by my brother, who is a machinist by trade. It is solid brass and has been given and engine-turned finish. Each of the swirls has been polished into the surface of the brass. The rows are turned in opposite directions, to give it that prism effect.
There is a bit of surface scratching, but it's not so apparent in real life. I might get another version made, now that the specs are worked out and we know it fits and functions properly.
The drip shield is from the good people at Empire. I plan on letting the finish go on the brass and see what happens. I can always polish it back out. I don't know if I'm liking the drip shield or not.
I'd love to top this off with a tip from Bert, as it needs the right finishing touch. Hopefully there are some Loki's, Double Amber or Caramel tips coming up, and I can get one to finish this off.

Wow nice door.
How much is that door, with the window?
The one with the waggley polished-swirl tails?

LOL--Thank you all for the compliments, but I'm sorry to inform you that door isn't for sale. It was a gift. My brother has asthma, and he hates smoking. I've been cig free for 6 months, so he made me the door. There is a ridiculous amount of time in it. Each of those swirls is put in by hand via an End Mill, which is sort of like a drill press.
Thanks Bert,
That's good to know about the tips. I'll pass on the kind words about the door. He's really good with anything metal. I might be getting a stainless version, but he hates to work with stainless. We'll see how it goes.
