IMG_1720.jpgIMG_1721.jpgIMG_1717.jpgIMG_1718.jpgIMG_1725.jpgIMG_1716.jpgThis my newest piece. It's an SGW Waffle with SGW circ AC and matching worked slide. This is just 1 in my collection, so we'll see how much interest there isin good glass around here on RIU.
Wow, I forgot to say, it was electroplated by the master Big Pizzle.

actually, it's not hard to clean at all. Big Pizzle puts a sealer on after he electroplates em' so it's just like any other piece, alcohol and salt. The functionallity of it is the best part. I don't why you would say it doesn't function well, without seeing it in action. It's a SGW WAFFLE, with a circ AC, it has very little drag, and stacks bubbles up past the plating on the tube!! It functions fantastically! The base is great too, cause you can't hardly knock it over either, which is a huge plus. The base is reallt not in the way , as much as it looks like it would be.
Now that I see a little interest, I'll start putting up my collection. I have about 13 tubes currently. Everything from Sovereignty, to Toro and back down to Roor and Zob, and everything in between!

Yes, you can get one, but this is the first SGW/Big Pizzle collab and they are currently going to do 4 more so far. Stay in touch on this thread and I'll let you know when they're ready. I think they will be for sale on BoroMarket, which is the best glass site IMO. Artist and collectors buy and sell on that site, but you have to be invited in cause they don't want people there that are not serious glass collectors or artist, so we don't have trouble with backouts and non-pays. This piece, was 320 for the tube 190 for the AC, and I had the slide speciasl made and it was donated by Preston for this project, but it would be around 80-90 bucks for the slide. Then the plating job was 250 for the tube 150 for the AC and 50 for the slide, so 500 total for the plating work. So I got $1100.00 in it total, and it would retail for about $2400.00

Cool. Is it a collab or did piz electroform it after the fact?

It was an after thought, but kinda collab, cause Preston made the slide to match the AC for this project, and now, because of the feedback on this one on Pizzles site, they're doin collabs now, so actually, it'll make this one more valuable.

No problems with this one. Big Pizzle is the only artist that puts a sealer on the plating, so you can clean it and stuff.
