I'm a noob too, but wouldn't agree with that statement ^^. A wigwag is a way of manipulating the glass to achieve a pattern. Then once you have the pattern you want, you switch the axis 90 degrees and that constitutes a reversal(which is really a misnomer because if it were just reversed, it would just be upside down). BUT, I've been wrong before.

lol....confusing!
is there a glossary of lampwork/hotglass terms/lingo anywhere?

Jngljnke · #**273** 2012-07-03, 6:58am

I'm not sure, just guessing myself. I'll ask around and let y'all know what I find.

I met a real "fun guy" (wink, wink) about twenty minutes before shooting this video with my phone. Could be better, but I was working with a temporary handicap. You will most likely want to turn the volume down unless you like the way dubstep sounds when it's recorded on a phone. Pretty Lights was on stage.

Here's a recent blow in.

Very pretty! I particularly like the swirl pattern at the end of your piece, Gary.

Here's a few coil potted chillums.

Beadz Gone Wild · #**278** 2012-07-06, 3:49pm

Very nice Gary

angelique_redhead · #**279** 2012-07-07, 2:41am

Love them. These make me want to try making a mortar and pestle set.

Angelique

Jngljnke · #**280** 2012-07-07, 12:05pm

Thanks ladies. Angelique, why don't you make a mortar and pestle set?

angelique_redhead · #**281** 2012-07-08, 2:18am

Mostly because it's been 100+ out here for days and I'd have to drag out Paul's big torch. I'll possibly do it in the dead of winter when all that heat can go to good use.

Hey everyone its been a long time since i last posted. Ive been moving and trying to get my muse back. I got it back from getting a large hole manderal to make my girlfriend a ring. Ive thought of making this ring for awhile now and only now decided how i actually want it now all i need is some goldstone lol. After that i remembered about a article in my glassline mag about candlestick holders now i have all this creative energy and no where to burn it lol. I also got my long awaited claw grabbers so as soon as i have a place to work ill be posting pics left and right maybe not all pipes but it will go good with the groove they make.

istandalone24/7 · #**283** 2012-07-22, 8:17am

bummer, i saw you posted and hoped to see pics of your progress. this week when my midrange and another oxycon show up, i'll be delving into pipes. so far, out of 8 attempts i only produced 2 functioning pipes.
the others...just ornamental blobs of boro lol.

James Lewis · #**284** 2012-07-22, 1:08pm

You just need to be patient with the glass. Think of it as water and just let it flow. Dont try and force it into shape it just wont work. And dont doubt yourself when you start know what you want and just dive in.

Jngljnke · #**285** 2012-07-22, 4:34pm

Here's a bub made from coil potted sections.

Now that I'm getting happier with my assembly I'm starting to practice my reversal work. Still sloppy. I was going for a flame look. A buddy showed me how a while back. His look much better.

istandalone24/7 · #**286** 2012-07-22, 6:10pm

that hammer is sick!
is there a tut anywhere that shows the coil pot tech? it's way over my head, but naturally i'm curious.

Jngljnke · #**287** 2012-07-22, 7:16pm

Thanks. LePatron posted a great coil pot video a while back in the boro room. Probably two or three pages back.

istandalone24/7 · #**288** 2012-07-22, 8:09pm

thanks!

metalbone · #**289** 2012-07-24, 4:26pm

LePatron, excellent youtube tuts!

Beadz Gone Wild · #**290** 2012-08-09, 3:26pm

drew1492 · #**291** 2012-08-11, 7:32pm

James Lewis · #**292** 2012-08-12, 8:49am

That side car looks sick

Beadz Gone Wild · #**293** 2012-08-12, 10:49am

Very Nice!

hngntuf · #**294** 2012-08-12, 2:41pm

Nice! You're getting some great colors popping on those. What size tubing are you using for the chillums?

Stephen

drew1492 · #**295** 2012-08-12, 8:21pm

Turns out people are less willing to pursue things like than you might think. At least in Texas, and I don't know of many states more conservative than this. I had my son for summer visitation. Having him here made it hard to work, but brought more than enough happiness to make up for it. I couldn't work all night and sleep all day like I do now with him here. It get's hot enough down here to kill you. When your fresh air comes in at over a hundred you are fucked sitting next to a torch and kiln. Unless you are in one of those fancy studios with climate control. So to answer your question Ms. Wild, I've been catching up. Mainly prodo spoons. I'll pm you with that stuff when I get up.

angelique_redhead · #**297** 2012-08-29, 6:42am

I quit torching when it was in the 90's at night and the 114-117 range during the day. I did a LOT of seed beading. I'm glad you're able to torch again. I'm even happier I'm able to torch again.

I should proofread.

Jngljnke · #**299** 2012-08-30, 5:05pm

Here's some of my last work. Made some bad color choices, three pieces checked from my last batch.

James Lewis · #**300** 2012-08-30, 10:00pm

Everyone stop what your doing (drop the glass and step away!!!). I got to make a pipe today i got to make a pipe today. That is all return to your awesomeness.
