heya! everytime I log on, my "thread info" only has a name or two on it....but it always says there's more members? well, I "see" cycling is here...so hey!!!!! cyclin
hey!!!!! everyone else whom's names I cant read
morning! I'm doing some r/d (research/development) on trippy tips with my Scottsdale, AZ. peers...finally! now that the studio is done. My peer Josh Hamra is making some of his signature art glass for trippies and Raychel and I will be collaborating as well, small "beta" batches will come out of it at first.
Josh is making this art glass he calls " Hamra space glass"...it's super cool, pictures soon
Howdy Freddie!

Really looking forward to more artists input.
Glad your studio is up, relaxed while working is a great thing !
Space glass!
I heat the wick red-hot, half of it, then dunk it in ice water .... it makes a nice "squeech" sound. LOL
I do each half, three time ... heat, squeech, heat, squeech, etc ... I dab it on a paper towel each time too or else it takes longer to heat it back up.
THEN I put it back on the paperclip and do the juice burn x3.
This is just the way I do it ... everyone has variations.
I'll try it your way today then.
Man I wish I was home right now! Can't wait to try again. I had to do it in short spurts yeterday because the I'm the baby's favorite
But today Daddy needs him some coiling..*cough cough* I think...I'm...sick... Must go home.. make some wicks... Can't work anymore..
got it, good thing! I just feel like I don't have the best thread manners....really
just be advised, this! is the only forum/thread I have participated on, for close to a decade!...so, I hope nobody thinks I'm just being rude....or anything like that
I do like being here

Love it when a good plan comes together!
Cyclin - my Dad is a metallurgist, and explained in WAY more detail than I ever wanted to know that heating it and quenching it moves the carbon atoms out of the matrix and into the something layer where they get sort of locked when you quench it. It's not a true "tempering" as we aren't heating it high enough, blah blah blah ....
He said once was enough, anything after that isn't making it better, but I like to do it 3 times. LOL
I am going down there again tomorrow, and will write down what he says ...
He is like View attachment 122939 and I am like

So true Blu - if it works for you, Then its right.I heat the wick red-hot, half of it, then dunk it in ice water .... it makes a nice "squeech" sound. LOL

Meeee tooo, took over 8 years for it to "happen" in this residence. Raychel just never found someone that she could trust for the "build" We lack a lot of technical research and "data" on how to properly build studios. I've been doing it for years (building and research) so, it's an honor to be here doing it. Also, a lot of her peers will benefit from this "in home studio" design...win/win
oh.....i know. Sometime I just feel like I pop into y'alls ongoing conversations with my "own" frame of thought...actually, I'm kinda known for doing that in person as well, finally getting old enough were "eccentric" is an appropriate label
Anytime an artist wants to say something, I try to listen. I like to hear the why with all Trippy artists, since I have no idea how...oh.....i know.

Anyone with your ability has the right to be 'eccentric' , IMHO.
I think I am going to become one of those people they show on t.v.... hoarders?? lolol If my paychecks go according to plan, you will find me buried in trippytips and Reo's! I will be famous!! "now showing" hahaha
Horseman - I still do water as I found it makes my wicks really hard/stiff. I have gotten some limp wicks from other places and I don't like them .....
Now THAT sounds bad ..... say nothing Sashie!
Yes ma'am.

I'm not that good with the thread thing either. Sometimes I fit in and chat away, but most times I feel like a stranger in a place I know/knew so well~LOL. Never you mind Freddy-tripsters enjoy seeing you pop in and discuss what's going on with you and R&D!!!!!!!!!
K, hear my horses singing that song from 'Little Shop of Horrors' - 'Feed Me'.
Guess I better take care of that.

well, I have to note that I surely appreciate how so many people in this thread come from different "facets" of life and I feel how you all honor and respect each other and share little bits of your personal knowledge while doing so....it's a special bond I appreciate seeing...
ok, I'm off to conquer this Friday...
make it beautiful for yourselves today, everyone
Freddy
