Trying My Hand At Glass Pipe Making

[researchkitty]

very nice. the frit ones look really good.

Thanks......... And thanks again for todays blowout tutorial. Here's the two I made after watching you............... The first was the small one, the second the larger of the two. I got a real good feel for the squiggles on the second.

Abrimagery.com also has 'boroshorts" ( http://www.dichroicimagery.com/product_info.php?products_id=90697 ).... for $10/lb its sticks of all major color companies and they are pieces that break in shipping etc....... Due to this its going to be more of the popular colors rather than discounted sticks in weird colors. Ordered 5 Lbs of em today after hearing great reviews so hope to have a better color selection soon. Right now I'm almost done with cool colors, and mostly blah ones left.

...a few more............ Made the big one first, little one second. I wanted to try one with big squiggles and then one where they were all melted in, both same exact coloring, different looks.................

...........got a lot to sell! Waiting till I have about 40 pipes or so to sell to shops first.

that unobtanium loves to crack.

looks really good otherwise.

The smaller one cracked just now in two pieces. I think I can re-kiln and fix.

There's also a Silver Unobtanium too, would that be a better striker than a base? I was surprised Loki's Lipstick which is the top color didnt really turn too red. Thanks man

Awesome job research kitty, too bad we can't buy online anymore but can't bitch about someone wanting to stay local and not deal with all the shit FDD has to put up with.

subscribed, wow what a fast learner, doin a real good job

This is the new shop. I made the work area from 2x4x8's and cement 3x5 sheets. It took 4 of us to move it in place, it was heavy as shit! Still have to grab some more boards to make it a little more stable on the legs.

This is in preperation for liquid or tanked oxygen and a GTT Mirage/Delta Elite.

There's room in the new shop for 3 people to work.
