They're on page one for me. It depends on how you've got your preferences set ... they start around post #15. Thanks for the tip though. They look pretty interesting!it looks like he has 3 tips made and in use currently.. pics are located on page 2 of the thread.... again please, if you have been following this thread, stop by the link above and show this guy some support!
I have no intentions of registering as a supplier. I like the little community I hang out in and couldn't be there if I were to become a supplier. Not to mention, I'm not really taking any more orders nor seeking other venues to sell my glass. I'm a pipe maker. Like big bubblers with crazy pattern work. I don't really have the time to make a bunch of these. I can make some, sure. But you wont see 100s coming from my shop. I'm just one man with an apprentice that slows me down even more.
Also, I live in Houston, TX. Where in the summer the temp is 100+ in the shade with 80-99% humidity. I shut the shop down for the summer as I've stretched myself thin one day and got heat stroke. Dr. said once you have it you're very susceptible to get it again and to not blow glass during summer months. So here in a few weeks I will be shutting down. I re-open my shop in late October, early November.
Shatner - Not to beat a dead horse, but... I live in Houston also. I assume you've closed up shop by now, but a question for when you reopen: do you sell only to retailers or to individuals as well? I think this glass drip tip thing is an awesome idea and would be interested in getting one, but I am a fan of blown glass in general...
Yes, I've closed shop for the hot season, I'll reopen in November. And yes, I sell to individuals. Actually more to individuals than shops.
And I see that another glassworker is on these. I've seen the pics and they look cool. His skill set is completely different than mine, though. He makes scientific apparatii, I make pipes. I've got some awesome ideas in my head and crudely sketched on paper. Sorry it's going to be so long (Nov), but it's just too damn hot here in the summer.
