Well she,the buyer for the shop who requested them probably has no personal preference. You folks keep making assumptions like you think I have no idea what I am doing. I have been doing this for well over a decade. I was asking for input because the best pieces are made with market research. I figure a forum full of oil heads would be a good place to get some input. I think I have covered just about every aspect of this topic other than showing the sketches and naming the shop that asked for them.
A recap. I asked HMK if he ever went through with his all glass design.
I am making a curve set up with a quartz arm and a Ti plate.
I do not currently smoke. I smoked for close to 2 decades daily. I have smoked oil through just about every type of rig out there. I do not like the way Ti plates with bike spokes look. I do think metal done right can look very nice.
Aesthetics are very important to me in my products, that is why I am trying to find a way to make these curves with out any metal other than the Ti for my customer. That is also why I am having my Ti plates made by a machinist not just cutting them up all jaggedy and raw.
I think I covered all the bases for those who insist on replying without reading the whole thread.
Thank you for the info, those of you who have given me replies to my questions.
Mt Ti is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, so I will be getting these made as soon as i can. I will post some pics as soon as they are out of the kiln and done. I was looking at some Worm rigs,someone asked if I was doing them that style, and I guess I am doing them similar. NOT the same at all, but similar.
Thanks.

Am I actually the only one who thinks that a Ti pad one a glass or quartz arm would look stupid and dangerous? Regardless of how its anchored to the curve, I just cant see it looking good in any way. New and interesting maybe, but I have never found the spoke to be a problem.

Its all part of what makes an oil unit a unit...

I respect to what you are "trying" to do, but I just dont like your manner. You may have been around for a long time, but that does not give you the right to speak so curtly with nothing to back it other than your opinion.

Why try and re-invent the wheel?

As I said before, I like the Ti & spoke design and wouldnt go for anything else...its tried and tested, and that you cant say about anything else.

having said all of that, this thread is a laugh...

rock on hmk!

I live in America. I have the right to say what ever I damn well feel.

Because a client asked me to. And as a businessman I make what my clients ask me to

It is nice to have an opinion. And that is exactly what you have. An OPINION.

The reason I have been so curt is the way people have reacted. Jumped to conclusions and generally been rude. I have tried my damedest to be polite and respectful. People who have never lit a torch continually act as if they know what they are talking about more than I do. I have been lamping a long time. I have payed my dues and then some.
I wrote the tirade above so all the people who keep posting without bothering to read the thread would be able to read one post and get the gist of the situation. Sorry if you were offended. Have a good one.

No offense, but there are members of TC who have been torching less then 1/5th of the time that you have, whose work already greatly outshines yours in both artistic appeal and functionality.

Just because you've been doing something a long time doesn't give you the right to come in here on your high horse.

If you want to do market research, perhaps you should start your own thread to do so.

That was not my intent. And out of respect to you I was just logging back on to open a thread about this topic. I did not realize what a tizzy folks would get into. To put it back on topic. I see you did reply, she made you one and you used it for a short while. Do you have any pics? I would love to see ggirls version of that idea! And once again, sorry I jacked the thread. My bad.

I am in Madison all the time. I'll check out your shit next time I'm up there.

What should I look for to find your installation?
