Beginner, I just got my first set, haven't had any instruction, Trying to get any help available. I have a huge problem with running my torch at the proper heat and I haven't really figured much out at all. Most of what I have made so far has cracked either in progress or very shortly there after (like sitting on the table)
|
I am having trouble with running it properly, any advice or tips would be really appreciated
|
Reamers, Flaring tools, Tungsten picks, bowl pushes, carbon rods & ray's pokey
|
Top view of the workspace, setup for lattichinos, possibly the only thing I can kind of make
|
|
Spark lighter, Blow house, tweezers, pliers, and etc.
|
some colors pre chosen and laid out for when I fill my tank tommorow
|
My favorite stick, Momka rocks!
|
|
The beginning of a bad day
|
Shoddy, color work, shoddy shaping and my bowl blew up, any help?

some stuff u have no control over...
some glass cracks cause it doesn't wanna b encased in clear, some glass cracks cause it doesn't wanna b next to a certain color, some cracks cause u let it get too cold; there are a ton of reasons. Take a class and that'll def help. peace.
