brought it home and fired up the cutting torch and tried my hand at glass blowing. the first one shattered just about the time i was trying to finish. the second one i finished but it has cracks. i smoked out of it though. nice little hash pipe.

i've been looking for the perfect hash pipe. i'll just make my own now. it would have cost me 30 dollars at the glass shop to buy one. if i come out of this with 3 or 4 working pieces then i'm ahead of the game. i think i may invest in a nice torch. :hump:

I've been wanting to get into blowing glass badly. Just too much work to do on the opp, still. It seems like a difficult hobby. You think after a couple more tries you'll be able to churn em out pretty easily?

this one is not cracked, yet. i think i need to throw them in the kiln and temper them so they don't crack. any heat after they cool and they shatter. so far as i can tell anyways. we just so happen to have a pottery kiln. i have to dig it out of the patio and see if i can get it going. :weed:
