Interesting........... Worth $40? Perhaps......... Here's my thoughts on it (I melt glass, but dont make these at all)........ The welds are pretty poor from the bottom bubble to the top tube. The walls are uneven to it for that and the top ground joint. The color is boiled on the piece, and the yellow color isnt even melted all the way in. From a quality standpoint, its *terrible*. The uneven thickness of the walls will create stress and lead to breakage and more crack prone. Its not saying it WILL crack, or break, but it'll require a little more care and attention.
But, it's $40. That's pretty cheap.
It's very cheap for the time the unit takes to make, but looking at the seals and quality of work, it wasnt much time either.
If your goal is to get high, it's great! If your goal is to have a piece for years to look at, its probably not going to get there.
