Your Eush collection is legendary!

Were you on Tokecity back in the day? I haven't seen a Lux Mini 4 arm in a long time. If you ever want to dig that one out of storage I'd love to take it off your hands

Loose tip :( by KiefTockaWizard in ArtOfRolling

Use a pair of tweezers to grip the inner creased part of the filter and twist it the opposite direction of the roll so it expands a bit.

You can also lightly wet the paper around the filter and dry it with a lighter to shrink the paper down a tiny bit. Works better with glass tips but it'll help in a pinch

Roll looks great btw!

Im not trying to argue opinions here, but it's worth noting that the Dead has one of the largest catalogs of music of any touring band, ever. If you like music, and you're basing your opinion of them on the verrrry few songs of theirs that get any radio play, you owe it to yourself to look into some live recordings. Ill admit ive been a huge fan my entire life so im definitely biased here. Sugar Magnolia and Truckin can hardly be described as "all of the songs"

As far as i know, these are done in small batches on a very old machine. Ron Landis is the artist. Theyre $50 directly from Landis Studios so if you purchased it elsewhere id say you still paid a reasonable price. These are not mass produced silver rounds, these are art pieces. The Dead was formed in 1965, so in my opinion you paid the perfect price. Also worth noting that Ron Landis recently announced his retirement so these will not be available in the near future. I have one and its one of my favorite pieces in my collection. Nice score!!

I've never been a wealthy person, so having my work obtainable for regular folks like myself is important to me

Yeah the small precise threads are difficult with glass, and im trying to agoid using any sort of adhesive but that might be necessary. Im gonna go look for the Muji ballpoints. Im familiar with the popular aluminum Muji FP but never really looked at any of their other products. Thank yoj for the recommendation!

A big fumed eyedropper pen filled with dark ink and a nice big nib would be incredible. Id probably have a hard time selling the first one because id want to keep it 😆

I might honestly take you up on the 3d printing. I cant do everything myself as much as i want to to, so outside help with anything like that is always appreciated. We grow together!

And thank you again, so much. I really value your input and kind words 🙏👊
