the big thing about artistic pieces is that they have been exploding onto the internet in the past few years, i meet people that have been blowing for 20 years, people that used to mix color at alchamy glass, that dont know how simple patching fo multiple pieces works, and he has been trying to figure it out for over a year, i told him how in 2 minutes... because i can fuckin go online and find a video on how to blow whatever is out there... for the amount of big time blowers out there, there is very few people that have come up with theyre own style and techniques, and as soon as new thechniques are thought up and put out there, theres bound to be someone esle out there that sees it and figures out how to do it, hell you do something brand new, never done, and some big name could see it and figure it out, then its theyres cuz theyre the bigger name...

this is why i like freeek so much, he does so much more than just the same old same old. check his gallery out at www.glasspipes.org/freeek

true, many glass blowers can make some sick stuff, but for tubes go. Check out the triple diffuser a/c and the doughnut diffusers illy makes. Everything is inferior. The skull piece is from smoked volume 1. The other piece was blown by my roommate.

thats a cool pipe man! hehe smoke volume one. love it! anthony gave it to me... hehehe. so happy! (the anthony in the book, should be a black piece mounted on a plaque.) im starting an aprenticeship under anthony. the long piece in there with the copper wraping (not brandon, brandon also does some tho) is nice, i like that new twists, and my buddy scotty g who just sold me that cc burner recently got all the equiptment neede to do that, so maybe ill be able to get some pieces wraped like that! ooooooo and marble slinger! i love that fuckin sherlock he has in there! he does alot of those, my buddy just got one, put him back 300... well worth it! i think the midwest was represented well in that book, 3 blowers from minneapolis alone! and now anthony is in that area too!

yea chip hooked up the book when a custom I orded never made it out to hollywood. I was pissed, I deposited on the bitch for 4 months. Blowing is sick I know If I did I would be totally addicted and probably would die from hunger and lack of sleep

I think the best glass bong is the one that doesn't break, and one I can clear with one hit. That's it.... the rest is window dressing. :lol:


So do they cast bongs as well as hand blow? Might be stronger.



out. :blsmoke:

roor? and yes deffinately more than one perculator (first water chamber counts as 1, every regular bong is one perculation chamber, get the ones with the second or even 2 more in the neck, and if you want fast, big, bone chilling hits, youll need one with more than one percilation downstem in the neck chambers.

cast them? like the way bottles in a factory are made? only the cheap ones, they will tell you its borosilicate, and it is, but its the grade of borosilicate used in cooking pans... which is kinda different from borosilicate used in lampworking, more of a soft glass, doesnt work on torches, just glory holes or just from molten glass in a factory.
