i would not make a bubbler like that. it's ugly. sorry.
i don't do repairs. it's just not worth the time.
google "glass blowing classes". there should be something locally.

cost me about 2 grand to get started.
pretty much self taught.
dude, it's a 20 dollar pipe. how many pics do you really need to see? you realize i have to take out my cases, find the pieces you ask about, set up my lights, tripod and camera. readjust my settings, ...........................................
i don't mean to complain, and do my best to be polite, but seriously, i've posted numerous pictures.
and then you don't even have money.
my prices go up with every picture i take.
because i don't want to. i started blowing glass so i could make the things i want to make. pretty much that simple.

Obviously you don't need my business and I don't need your glass work.
Btw your are a very abrasive person, how hard is it to hold a pipe in your hand and take a pic of it?
Buying a piece from you would just have bad karma all over it.
i already posted at least 4 pics. how hard is it to throw down 20 bucks and call it done? how many times do i have to fulfill your requests? you asked for pics and they weren't good enough. then you call ME abrasive.Sorry, I don't like to keep money in the bank...

i don't blow glass to make money. i sell glass simply because i have nothing else to do with it once i make stuff. this is a hobby, not a job. like i said, i try to be polite as possible. some people just like to take advantage of that.

.....again, in my own opinion, from where I sit, I don't see abrasiveness, I see sensitivity. but that's just me.
can you post pics of everything front and back please? also could you put down how much hours it took to make each piece?? it will help me with my choice,....when I do have money of course

The Irony of it All
a funny story-
by fdd
i started blowing glass in the first month of 2009. there were two things that really got me into it all. i was looking for a new hobby and knew i wanted something to do with fire. i was thinking of metal sculpting. then i tried it and it was filthy. i knew glass would be cleaner and had a little experience in the past with it. once i tried it i was hooked.
but the main reason that i started was due to the fact that i could not find a "hash specific pipe". hence, a pipe made just for smoking hash out of. something small and simple, yet designed for hash. i knew what it needed to be but couldn't find anything like it. we have a dozen pipe shops within throwing distance of my house and for 2 years we looked endlessly. so when i first thought about blowing glass all i had in mind was the fact that i needed a hash pipe. i think there is even a thread here discussing this.
so after almost two years, i still have yet to design that hash pipe. until today.
to me a hash pipe needs to have several things. we will start with the obvious:
a small bowl hole - a small bowl hole will allow the pipe to be used with out a screen. a lot of pipe require screens if hash is to be smoked out of them simply because of the hole size. a hash pipe should have a nice solid, small hole. a poker is often used to stir it so you can't afford thin walled glass near the bowl hole. this is why a "reduced" hole is best. my hash pipe bowl will be a "solid bowl, reduced hole" style.
a flat spot to rest on - hash pipes tip, hash spills everywhere. a good hash pipe should have a nice solid base. style and flow go along with this.
a big bowl - hash is often "fluffed up". shallow bowls allow for hash to fall out everywhere. a nice deep, over sized bowl will allow for stirring with minimal spillage.
trippy desins - hash is trippy. who wants to smoke hash out of a clear pipe? not me. a good hash pipe will have depth and color. things to see.
compactness - i feel hash pipes should be small. able to fit in your palm. the should fit the hand to help prevent dropping. hash tends to relax those who smoke it. a well fitting pipe will hang in ones relaxed hand.
so with that being said, ... here's my new hash pipe.

yeah, i'm just on bottles right now. i can empty one in about 8 hours. i have a 5 gallon propane bottle that lasts about 6 oxy bottles long.
Just an idea i had going through my head on hash pipes. How about making the bottom of the big bowl flat with holes bout a quater inch up on the side walls. So non of the hash or oil ever gets sucked into the pipeThe Irony of it All

I love the honey comb effect around the bowl. You did it for my bowl and its great when you put some flame down in there You really should do more pieces with the clear melted in to produce that effect. It looks great when it gets dirty too Like an entirely different piece
