How small can you (any blower really) do the honey combs? Bc that blue one looks kind of like gecko/ lizard skin. A green one with a bunch of little honey combs like that would possibly look cool

I can make the dots really small, I've been using a larger rod and trying to make the dots. I need to order smaller clear rods but the wife is starting to complain about the money I'm spending on glass. She thought the setup was expensive.... I've spent $1200 on glass in the last 2 months! I have a little stock pile now but I'm still looking at the site trying to pry the credit card from my wife's hands... I made a couple more honeycomb pipes tonight (I don't like really like calling it honeycomb as it's not really that good). I got a couple more colors of glass powder and hopefully they will turn out nice! I've gotten a couple tips on colors to use and how to lay the dots so my honeycomb should really be improving in the next couple days/weeks!

I have cherry red and ruby frit. I think I'm out of orange. I made one that is red and black fritted but I don't like it, I have a terrible memory and don't remember who even asked about black and red. I'm still making pokers as well, making the mushroom pokers on the wire is a bit of a pain... I keep melting the wire right where the glass stops...

...make her something special and she won't say anything else. *hint hint 8===D * hahaha

Hey NGG That was me that asked for the red and black pipe and poker. GD2

UGGGGGGG!!!! Very pissed off right now!!!!! I spent $108 on a pound of slyme color tubing, regular color tubing is between $5 and $20 for a 4ft long 3 pound piece and I spent $108 on a single pound!!! Well it showed up today.... It was cut into 4 pieces and they were all different sizes. Not even straight tubing!!! All the pieces I got taper from one end to the other! the largest piece is only 8 inches long and has a half inch taper! One side is an inch and half the other side is only in inch!!! The piece is only 8 inches long and it's that far off... Then the other pieces go from about 20mm about 3/4 of an inch to 15mm about 1/2 and inch... I don't know what the fuck they expect me to do with a 108 dollar sample scrap pack!!!!! Of coarse it's Friday so I won't hear back from them until Monday, so I cant try to use any of this crap glass as I am returning it. I spend atleast $600 a month with these people and they send me this crap....... SOOOOOO PISSED!!!!

Soooo fucking mad!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not even going out to the garage to work glass tonight or i'll just keep thinking about it!!!!!!!!! Sooooo fucking mad!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well ngg I was going to ask how the oil rig was going but from the sounds of it I don't even wanna ask lol.

Sorry to hear bout stupid shit, I've been there and it seems like when something goes good another thing goes to shit.

I'll smoke one for ya bro

I'm sure they'll make it right for you, NGG, sucks that they played you like that

Lame... I was wanting that slime! What a bunch of kooks!

The average cost of rent in the us is 600-800 a month. I spend that with them every month... Sure I may not be their largest account but I'm far from their smallest. I just got started glass blowing as well so when I progress my orders would only increase... I'm sure they will notice the hit when I stop ordering from them, The other glass company noticed the hit and I had only placed 3 orders with them! They even sent me a letter later apologizing for how their customer service person handled the situation and what they told me as I was right the whole time. they listed a sale online so I tried to order some, it wouldn't let me order it at the sale price so I sent an email that day saying I tried to order it but the system is messed up and I will call tomorrow to finish the order, the customer service person said well that's just too bad the sale ended last night even if the system wasn't working. They offered me more discounts to continue shopping with them but I don't give a shit about the discounts! This isn't about the money! I want good customer service! I will gladly pay more for good customer service and will not continue to shop somewhere just because they have a lower price. If you don't get what you want the price isn't really lower...... I have $108 worth of scrap glass..... how is that a lower price???

That's weak shit! They should let you keep that and send a replacement, what if you had orders to fulfill and it lost you business. Fuck that, they should have sent it right the first time!

Oh I would be pissed too. I hate getting ripped off.

I bought my husband some wheel covers and one broke while trying to get it on. Had the sales person come out and show us how to put on the rest. The others broke with the sales person doing. REFUND.

While the manager is giving me the refund, she is scowling and says "just sign this, it says that you're getting money and IM NOT."

What a bitch.

Hope they fix everything for you NGG.

NGG sorry to hear about the BS with the glass company. Seems to be a growing trend these days....not giving a fuck about the people that pay their checks! Hope you get it all straightened out Monday. Blow glass you got to much talent to let a glass company get in your head! Peace.
