Beutiful critter.

Did I see you set up a bridge system for the legs?

It doesn't look like it would be needed in the final product, but I thought I saw you put one together in the vid, but it's hard to tell.

I'maStop rambling now.

@Moto421 no bridge work, I just pull out the legs and call it good.

Nice work man. The legs.. .. how did u make'em? What is the trick to make'em 'right?

[acroduster]

pull the legs outside of the flame, heat your rod to full flowing, pull it out of the fire, touch it to the body or leg end, and pull out the leg.

god I hated my life when I started to play with larger and larger tubing. I found that I will need a bigger torch to work anything bigger than 44 mm heavy wall. not to mention, the weight that is hanging out there.

Really inspiring! I've only been exposed to the creation of glass art in the past 3 or 4 months, and I must say, it is really inspiring! Nice work with the spider, keep up the good work!
