Nice work! And it's good to see some glass pipes that don't look like a penis. I swear, in the stores around here they all look like that. I will not suck dick to get high! :blsmoke:

i've been on it about 2 years. lately i've only been working once every week or so. i could be a lot better if i put forth more effort. when i start making more i end up trying to sell more which starts turning it into a "business". then i start worrying about what to make and if it will sell or not. it kinda put me in a funk that i need to snap out of.

i'm running a 4 post mirage on a rock-it foot pedal. i have a paragon F-130 kiln. dumping bottles right now. i don't work enough to justify liquid oxy. kickin' it in my playhouse with a wide screen, xBox live, woodstove, wifi, live streaming video, kitties, lots of weed, a good women, my kid, ... :cool:

I haven't been around here long but I lurked awhile before I actually signed up. I dig your work FDD, I really do. They're unique in a good way. I go to the headshop and basically see the same redundant designs.....just different colors. I like things that no one else has.

thank you kindly, my friend.

i was smoking out of one of my older style pipes last night. they change colors but i never really used but one or two of them. using this one i can see how drastic the colors do change. i LOVE color changers. i think i may go back to this style.

any color that is blown out thin enough to see light thru will change colors as it gets dirty. when the glass is clean light passes through the colors so you don't see them. when then pipe gets dirty and tar and resins build out, they block the light from passing through and reflect it back to been seen. this is when all the thin blown colors start to pop out.

it would be cool to see peoples "before-and-after" pics. though i have none of my own. lol

Nice bro, for 2 years you have some quality pieces...with a quality life lol.


You are doing it perfectly though, as for how you got about viewing it as just a hobby and not a way to profit. The same for growing, I beleive many people get into blowing as a way to make money, not because it's what they like to do for fun. I also like to think that glass should be free as so with cannabis, if you have fun doing these things then whats the point in spoiling it with a value? You could say that well since you spent your time on these things it' worth something, well as long as you put a price on sex..o wait.

To get to my point, if you like to burn with glass you should blow your own, if you like to burn you should grow your own. That way people will understand the only value is sentimental. It' not worth 400 for a straight of glass nor 400 for 28grams of plant...ugh sorry for the rant but it's your fault for putting buisness in quotes.

Homefill, Perfecto2, and a high pressure whip to your tanks is what you need. Bottle your own oxygen. I do now and I dont run out. The whole setup would cost you around $800-$900. My bottles are filled 4x each already saing me around $250 in AirGas fees.........

Each tank you fill at the size you use would be $3 in electricity.

airgas charges me $22 for the 160cuft owner sizes (you have 250-300's, I think!). That and 18 miles there 18 miles back means 3 tanks for me is about $70................... We dont have cheap oxygen suppliers in bulk like you do, lucky fucker :)
