You may have addressed this already, but how hard on the lungs is it to blow glass? I mean I've been smoking daily since I was 13, no cigarettes just the ganja.:joint:

you don't really "blow" as much as you just "push" a little. it's not much strain at all. :eyesmoke:

Correct me if I am wrong...some serious ventilation is needed, without that it is hard on the lungs...vaporized silver & gold and tiny glass particles when blow out a hole.

you want an exhaust fan nearby, yes. the flame blows all the shit away from you so it's not like welding where you hang your face in it. but i'm sure there is some stuff in the air that may not be good. i'm using an exhaust fan and a hood. i keep my door open with a fan at my back as well.

The dude that I watched blow glass for a while said the same. He had similar ventilation to FDD, but the fan was HUGE and in a window directly in front of the torch that sucked out everything. I do not thing it is as much the oxy-propane, but the vaporized metals. I think the fumes make FDD creative.

And someone asked about if a kiln was needed...some will say you can use vermiculite to slowly cool the piece, but I watched about 25%-33% of the pieces cracked...some of them were masterpieces. So I would say a kiln is needed.

I asked about the kiln. I was wondering if an oven would work in place of a kiln. Maybe I'll just spend the money and get one. I gotta price them out. I found torch kits with glass for like 600 bucks. Seemed like an ok price. We'll see this won't be happening this year I don't think so I've got time to decide.

Damn, very nice buds, lotsa shrooms....if you start blowing glass, you could pick up an E-stalker and people would start threads asking "Who is this 'Thundercat'?"

FDD must be in the shop creating more art.

I bet he can make a frog...My friend made a mouse pipe where the smoke went through two ear shaped tubes (did not see it) he gave it to Eek-a-Mouse on stage at a show in LA. He hit it on stage during a song.

I'm not too impressed with frogs on pipes and other things.

I personally think abstract designs, at their most pristine and inconsistent form, is the best for personal pieces.

I've personally always wanted a really bad ass Gandalf pipe. Maybe like 7-9 inchs long, a good curve to it, nice color change. Its been a dream for awhile.
