Love it that it's called a "Bumbletip" !
Cool
That's amazing @BumbleBee - looks gorgeous!
Excellent work sir, damn good workman
Wow that looks awesome! Doing great work there!
Clearly that is Bumblebee of note!
I made that one to matchy matchy the much anticipated iJoy Capo Squonker which I'm really hoping will arrive soon, getting a yellow one for myself
Hacking away at a chunk of resin... hmmm

The bore on this one might get a little bigger, seems a bit tight at the moment.
Is that the goon mtl tip style?
Amazing work and craft. I see we have competition for @hands made tips.
Good luck with the new venture in your business.

@BumbleBee - are there 510s on the horizon?

MTL Goon tips are entirely possible, if you so chooseIs that the goon mtl tip style?

I don't know if I'd call it competition, more like complimentary. @hands does excellent work and has been at it for a while longer than I have and being in the trade that he is there are things he can do that I can't.
Just having some fun, but luck is always welcome
I am toying with a few things but as of now I can't do the steel inserts so they'd have to be all resin.
Yes, and MTL ones too, please.
A few new tips have appeared on the website

This Moon Rock (the first one) is my favourite of this batch, it has so much dimension in real life, I just can't seem to capture the depth in a photo. That actually applies to all of them, photos just don't do these tips any favours.

I have so many tanks and drippers that I enjoy, most come with goon or 810 drip tips with 510 adapters. While I do enjoy my 510 tips I just find the goons easier because I'm not really a fan of adapters, but the flip side is that the standard goon tips are just too big and most encourage your lips to touch a pretty warm piece of metal. So I decided to make a tip that fits the bigger openings but has the comfort of a 510 tip.
This has turned out pretty well for me because I really enjoy creating things, I find it calming and it's a way for me to unwind. Each of these tips is completely hand made, no CNC equipment is used, all the tips are finished off by hand and polished to a glasslike shine without any of those nasty clear coats that the mass produced resin tips are sporting these days. I don't use jigs or templates, each is unique, each is a piece of art.
Here's a video of the tip pictured above being created, the video has of course been shortened as it took considerably longer than 7 minutes to make
Thanks goes to @Bumblebabe for shooting the footage and editing it, dankie babe
@BumbleBee That is utterly gorgeous! You are a man of many talents!!!!
Those look great @BumbleBee ! I think I may need a Moon Rock in the traditional shape.
But don't turn it yet, I'll need to find a dripper for it to live on first!

I think I may just turn one or two of those at some point anyway, I'm so impressed with how this resin comes alive, it almost looks like flowing liquid metal
I think it would look great sitting on the top of my SS Sicario!I think I may just turn one or two of those at some point anyway, I'm so impressed with how this resin comes alive, it almost looks like flowing liquid metal
I'm waiting for the mod to arrive so I can get a pic of the full setup!That sounds like a plan
So how about a pic of the red one then?
And by mod I mean Rob... It went to his place and he's on holiday!
