Mike, nice job on the marbles! Love the fuming.
Mango, would love to see more of your work! Love your horror/sci-fi piece!
Marcel, words escape me. Your work is incredible and I am continually blown away by it. Especially like the last bear!

Yeah Roy, it's gonna be awhile before I can upgrade to something that will still work on the oxycon. They take about an hour to do, it is soooooo slow

Tanked oxy can be a pain and a bit expensive, but... I have to make the choice between running oxy cons or my kiln. So I choose the kiln and lug oxy tanks, fortunately I have an outside entrance to my basement.

They look really cool - how are you making them? The one on the left looks kind of easter-island-ish. I love the blues too. Is that fume or?

I'm a torch packrat - but I'd consider an offer to trade my NOW EXTREMELY RARE AND COVETED 'cuda for a Mirage (and you'll want another regalia to run it)
Oh, and Wicked I am starting to save up to accidentally show up on your doorstep!

tbh, Bernie, if I had my choice of a Kobuki and a Zenit, I'd go the Zenit any day. Much more range in the flame, they're also rock solid unlike the GTTs, which you can almost dent with a paperclip, and come with a muuuuch better price tag.

I'm standing here with my thumbs hooked under my suspenders sayin "look what I did" and laughing mirthfully. David is definately on the dark side now and I did it to him. Boro and marbles; it don't get better than that!! Bwahahahah!!
Nice job BTW. If you do get a 'Cuda I can set you up with a 4 stud manifold my friend.
