Homeish now
OK think I can pretty safely say these are NOT fragile, know some folks have been worried about that.

I've done dropped mine a few times now...including climbing out of hubbies truck and it landing on asphalt. It popped off and I had to go crawlin to find it but it didnt crack or chip at all(chipped the mod though :(). Toddler stole it, and as I was trying to get it back he threw it on the garage floor(concrete) It bounced several times..still no cracks or chips. Along with several regular falls...off the nightstand, dropped in the kitchen, off the desk ect.

So there ya go Untamed the Clutz tested it for ya. These are not likely to break!

It's not Marine tested yet....

I can break anything.

Give a platoon of grunts a 100 pound steel ball in the middle of the desert, name the three things they can do with it:

Lose it
Break it
Make a game out of it

Put two Lance Corporals (Marines) in a room with a ball bearing, one LCpl will end up unconscious, the other bloody and the ball bearing will be broken

What happens if you put a Marine in a padded room with three ball bearings.

He will break one.
He will lose one.
He will make one pregnant

I was paid to break things and loved it.

My art glass tips arrived today and I couldn't be more pleased, they're as smooth as silk and really comfortable to use. I've taken some photos to share but have to apologise for the quality as they're only taken with my phone. Thanks Bert, can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Thanks to everyone who has shared pictures of their tips! I apologize for not getting the newest tips released before I left...as soon as I get back to Colorado I will photograph them, and send out a new tipped off with a release date. I made 6 cobalt blue 306 tips and I have four 510 tips fabricated and waiting to get the o-ring slots cut into them.

After traveling to Milwaukee I found out that the guy who was going to sell me the equipment I need to upgrade the studio is having trouble with getting the equipment shipped to him. I don't know why he waited until after I traveled across half the country to tell me, but it looks like it will be a couple of weeks until I am able to acquire the necessary upgrades to make the production process move a little faster. Until then I will keep doing things the way I have been doing them which tends to be anywhere from 6-12 tips per week.

I hope everyone here in the states had a great 4th of July, and I look forward to getting back to work and creating more TrippyTips! I will check in again the next time I discover another internet nugget. Thanks again for the pics!
