Redmax top flame works as expected with 10psi propane, 25 oxygen.
Natural gas- the top flame was so sharp and really loud. Also the flame was a couple millimeters infront of the ports. Like floating infront as I added the oxygen. If that makes sense. Bottom flame seemed ok though.
Just heard that natural gas stays at around 1.5psi?
What could be the issue? Anyone run into this before? It works fine on propane and don’t have experience with setting up my own torch on natural gas manifold.
hey y’all, i have an invacare oxycon with a homefill2 i’ve been using for a number of years and the homefill is now giving a low oxygen light and won’t fill my tanks. i’ve had no luck in finding where i can get these repaired. does anyone have any resources for this?
All I know about making these is that the technique was to use a torch, melt murano glass and press them into clay molds. does anybody here make these intaglios/reliefs nowadays? and what’s the detailed process? i’m feeling a bit lost. I can’t find information about what clay forms etc. i know a few people that make them in italy but they are very sparring on the info they give! thank you
Traveling to Asheville after a long absence.
What are the best glass spots to hit up. I’m a hobbiest flameworker so I’m interested in supply, galleries, and headshops
Full color implosion.
This was my favorite glass piece ever. It's no longer with us...
How do you price wholesale orders? I’ve had my first shop ask for 20 nice prodo pipes and I’m trying to create some sort of system for tiers I guess. Simple grit, frit with wag, single color hammers, multi section hammers, simple pendants and mibs.
I was curious what you thought of my wall panel. The roots of the flower are burned in with glass.
There isn't much info on these torches anywhere on the Internet but they are super common here in the Netherlands, so I thought I would show mine off. This one was made in 1969 I think. They where made by a German manufacturer called Boepple wich has gone out of busines a long time ago( internet says 1984 but idk). They make super long and hot oxygen flames. In my opinion they shine with their huge bushy flames wich are perfect for annealing or pulling points.
I'm running it on natural gas. I'm not sure about all the pressures we have all of that standardized. If anybody has any questions il try to respond
Help with name of this part from a Litton glass lathe. A litton lathe not little
Good afternoon, this 100% my ignorance of buying glass in general. But looking at the Frantz website shows what looks like a bulb instead of rods. Is that a demonstration of what the glass will look like once worked or am I looking at the wrong thing? I don't want to accidentally buy the wrong glass. For reference I'm looking at the 104 glass rods.
Thank you in advance for yalls help.
