fuckin awesome bro i been wanting to get or build a cloner for a while i hope urs works out great and ur glass work is getting good i havent blown any glass in a while cause i get pissed when i finish a badass piece and then it cracks cause i dont have a kiln and have u ever made latchino where u put different color glass on a piece of clear rod and then u twist and spin it to make a awesome color rod its a good tech, just curious where do u get ur glass i get mine from sundance i need to upgrade my torch as well and get the little handheld torch for detailed work to many hobbies not enough time hahaha ne ways have u ever seen kravinglass hes a beast got his own website he does great work check it out sometime
Kravin does some awesome stuff, crazy sculptural work! It reminds me of Salt's work. Have you seen this video?
Those guys are EPIC!! RAM taught a class last year at the shop I've been learning at. I've got to see a few videos from it, he seems really cool, and obviously a glass master.
I don't think any of the canes I've made would actually be called lattacino. I have been striping the color onto a 12mm clear rod and then encasing it with 8mm clear. Melting it all together and condensing it while i twist it all up. Then shaping it.
As for the color I've been using it was a glass alchemy sampler pack I got. I actually bought 2 of them since I got them for 50% off from frantzartglass It ended up being like 3lbs of glass for like $30 plus shipping. Its been helping me learn about the flame chemistry some, and get to work with a bunch of different types of color. I havn't seen my last cane I made with crayon yellow, but I think I managed not to boil it
