I actually found a screenshot I took the other day that has that exact math. Sorry
Thanks. I was thinking the same. Trying to figure all this out so I don't have to calculate Everytime. Lol
generally, as close as you can get to 1/3 of your total core width should work. theres a bit of a window as @chrisakasparky said, where if you use slightly larger decore, you get wavier aliens, so its preferable to be on the larger side than the smaller side imo (if you have the wire available to choose between too small or large). having some odd gauges around is handy for this stuff. there is also a bit of a balance if your decore is a lot larger than your height...like if you are trying to make a really wide one with 30 or 28 gauge frames (or just a big wide .3mm alien staple), where you might need a 26 or even 24 gauge decore. in those situations, sometimes the edges can get a bit weird where it has to wrap around something so much smaller. i dont do many builds like that, and im not sure if its avoidable or not, but its something i noticed in some pics here, and in my own builds when i push that too far.
I had some .3 ribbon left over so I figured making a Tsuka was only natural.
That’s pretty f***ing insane.
You guys impress the hell out of me. Like a mash up of all the hardest coils. What will I do with these 4 completely different coils? Shit let's fuse them in a staggered 46n80.Thank you guys
Simply amazing
That's pretty much all artistic building consists of. Taking all the known techniques and trying to make them work together. If your lucky you come up with something new. But, mostly its brainstorming on ways to make something interesting by mish-mashing things together.You guys impress the hell out of me. Like a mash up of all the hardest coils.

your lighting is definitely on point now. that last shot with the black background really has that hazy beauty shot look to it that you mentioned. the other two shots look like they have it a lot less. are all three shots taken in the raw format?
all that failed debugging ruined me on it
lol shit, i totally thought that was the beauty shot look/haze you were talking about. the pic has a bit of an older film feel to it compared to the other ones. great pics and buildsFuck raw format
None .dng, all .png, the bright one and the alien were in my "lightbox" and focus stacked
you got the hang of para-clap now? your interlocks look easy from here lol 
I knda feel the same way about most of the photography. I enjoy messing around with it on occasion. I learned to focus stack. And I like to do tiny bits of editing on most of my shots. But more often than not I spend like a total of 1 minute (each) on all my post-shoot pictures. My problem is patience. I spend all me reserves on the building and by the time I'm ready to color and shoot I'm done lol.Fuck raw format

I've looked time and time again and can't find a good solid answer to "What is the correct ratio for hedgehogs?". I do them between ~6/1 and ~8/1. I find 6/1 to be easier to stitch, obviously. But, it does give you less pronounced peaks. The answer I found to a stitched fuse catching better was a wider angle or less tension. This lesson I learned when I got into >2 Interlocks. But, depending on your core size for your decore, to little tension can make your core extremely loose and hard as hell to coil.
Great Interlocking! Fantastic color! BTW why change your name? I’m gonna be eternally confused
I think Nick Devine said that the correct ratio for Hedgehogs was 9:1 but it’s gotta also matter how much you stretch the decore. I’ve found that using anymore than minimum tension screws things up pretty quickly for me but I dunno, maybe the perfect way to do it is a little beyond my comprehension at the moment.

It might not be what you intended, but with all that space in there it looks like it'll hold a lot of juice for a great flavor coil.
The clean parts are exactly what it should look like. The final fuse sits in the groove of the claptons, but not between them, causing a space between the fuse, kind of like a stagger but with a completely different look.
We shall recover!lol shit, i totally thought that was the beauty shot look/haze you were talking about. the pic has a bit of an older film feel to it compared to the other ones. great pics and builds
Yup ... i put a few good long hours into "my plan". It's just to much pealing up ribbon and trying to keep it secure without ruining it. And then trying to fuse with it still attached to the stick. Then laying it back down a little at a time and fusing that. I just don't have a gentle enough touch to make it work.Sounds like your build weekend went about the same as my photography weekend....
Best build all around. They look great, they vape better, and (for me) one of the most fun builds to put together. You do them proud brother42g SSFC
Haven't done a Full Fuse SSFC in a while so I thought I'd do it for fun..

Stags are just like everything else, a practiced skill. The more you do them the easier they become. You have to put a little time to figure out what works best for you. Once you figure that out they get much easier real quick. I do more stags than anything and, as of late, they are easier than any decore.
I don't practice them much due to my distaste for the way they vape. I can build em (slowly) but I just don't lol
Yeah... a little bit less yummy and then they would've been just perfect.
Yay!! Caged BuildsBored and can’t use drill.
Hell Yah!Fraple attempt...
