That's an interesting concept.

[puddletown]

those things are pretty sweet, but for 2200 euros, Ill make my own.

[Doc Holliday]

those things are pretty sweet, but for 2200 euros, Ill make my own.

holy shit, count me in

[Mr. Whale dick]

you could never clean that thing well

[blazemaster83]

i like it, def. a nice display piece....fill it full of glow in the dark liquid or somethin

[Mr. Whale dick]

i can make one easy....


if anyone wants one hit me up....(clear work is what i'm known for)


i could use 4 g's for some 25 mil stuck together

[midniteburner]

It would definately be a conversation piece!

Sara

[CripSkillz]

isnt decanting trying to let the wine breath like more surface area, that looks cool but i dont think it will work good.

[tourne]

Bonjour Hasslenuts,
I am the sculptor who created the decanter, please dont take orders for something witch dont belong to you...I am sure that you can create original things yourself...

Etienne Meneau

[JANKYglass]

wee wee frenchie. thanks for inventing the decanter!!you must be pretty old.try some colour.

[menty666]

Now now, don't be mean. Etienne probably just saw a bunch of referrer listings coming from this site suddenly and popped on to find out what all the fuss was over.

[Blacksheep]

Bonjour Hasslenuts,

Etienne Meneau

i wouldnt worry too much about your decanter being ordered here most folks here have skills far beyond attaching clear tubing together .and also none here would pay 4 k for what i would consider more scientific type glasswork than art

have a look at some of the art being made on gp.org or ga.org including hasslenuts pages and you will see what i am saying .im not trying to be rude but rather just point out there are some very talented folks here

with that said welcome Etienne ,and best of luck with your decanters

[tourne]

I don't kwow what is artistic...art is everywhere,in the scientific instruments too..

[kbinkster]

Have you ever heard of a crazy straw?

[jstuna]

is it made in france?

[Braden Hammond]

I made 4 of those skin flutes today and the orders are flowing in......Etienne I'd love to here you say " Ricky Bobby"

[harpentuan]

Etienne, we all know you are the creator. But artists do as artists do, any idea old or new they 'redo' with theyr'e own styles and influence.
Ideas are always recycled.
Glass art no longer is covered by the dark curtain.
Collaborations have led the way in pushing the boundaries.

[Micah Evans]

if it was someone biting jason lee or another pipe artist i doubt you guys would be singing the same tune......just sayin.

[3 rip min]

youre so right, micah.

[Kool]

.Bonjour Hasslenuts...

Now there's something you don't hear every day.

[harpentuan]

new Ben & Jerry's flavour?

[JLF]

I'm very impressed! Clear glass allows the owner to enjoy the color of their wine. Neat idea. Lots of different pictures and videos on the website.

[Dom]

if it was someone biting jason lee or another pipe artist i doubt you guys would be singing the same tune......just sayin.

Who exactly is biting what?

[tourne]

..

[gypsea]

those decanters are pretty cool !

[broken glass]

that is why this industry sucks, everything gets coppied, and then sent to another country to be mass produced, that is everything with any marketable value. You are lucky if you get any creds for any thing you do. Make your money quick, because this industry is on its last legs. Get in and get out before the ceiling colapses.

Now is the time to buy houses.

[Greymatter Glass]

France -> USA -> China.

I talked to a guy in Zheng Xou who can make these for ~ $25 each _AFTER_ shipping.

(I kid)

[Mr. Whale dick]

man...these things are sellin' like hotcakes!!!!

just sold my 12th one yesterday....i can't even make em' fast enough...


i did sell a few for 3500 tho....

[Dale M.]

How about a "decanter challenge".... What about the three legs coming out from center and doing a really smooth 180 degree (plus) turn on each leg and joining it back to center with all tubes (open internally) and then asking "frenchie" not to mass produce....

Dale

[nickglassdood]

thanx for filling my order hasslenuts... these 3 new decanters are sic, and only a 3 day turn around,....... i must say your the man.. quick shipping too

[Emmett's Glass]

I'm enjoying mine as well, thanks nutball.
E

[Udai Hussien]

So i got one of the $3500 hass decanters, It was here, delivered in a brinks armored truck, by armed guards. I opened the crate and a beaning light filled my hovel of a home, as I poured a fifth of nighttrain into it. It mercaulously turned in to a 89 bordeux, and as I took a sip, I heard, and SAW JESUS' FACE!!!!!Don't be suckered into those CHEAP FRENCH IMPOSTERS!!!!

Get one of the Hasselhoff originals!!!!

[Bryan]

you saw jesus' face d-waine...sign me up, whos making these, hasslenuts?

[Paradise Waits]

Bonjour Etienne, vous êtes bienvenu (you're welcome). Enjoy the sovereignty of your nation... and the worldwide web.

How many US soldiers died at Normandy?

The U.S. Army Center of Military History in Washington, D.C., numbers 6,036 American casualties, including wounded and missing. The Heritage Foundation in Washington estimates 4,900 dead.

If not for them, we'd be saying: Dank für das Teilen Ihrer Idee mit der Welt (thanks for sharing your idea with the world).

[CripSkillz]

NightTrain Nice!!!! no T bird or MD 20/20

The French helped the US win it's independence in the revolutionary war.

If not for them, we would be having tea and crumpets and paying homage to the Queen Mother.

Just sayin....

A decanter full of night train sounds awesome.

[jiminyrootkit]

i'm diggin mine.....really lets me enjoy the color of this boone's farms..... strawberry hill has such a nice pink tint.

[Eric S]

if it was someone biting jason lee or another pipe artist i doubt you guys would be singing the same tune......just sayin.

I couldnt disagree more. If someone was biting a style that someone had JUST relesed on gp, like the day before, then made their own, and claim they came up with the idea... that'd be different. the pipe community has opened up immensely in the last few years, and most of the best artists at least seem not to care, if you're inspired by their ideas, its a compliment, and they know most people cant execute them as cleanly as the original. you just gotta give props to the originators.

"$$$$ BITERS POLICY $$$$

There are no biters, only dedicated Artists keeping a tradition alive. If you see anything in my gallery, you are inspired by, and want to incorporate into your own work, by all means go ahead. I would consider it a compliment.

If not for them, we would be having tea and crumpets and paying homage to the Queen Mother.

A historical fact we weren't so quick to forget. Hence the 4,900 US soldiers who perished at Normandy.

Is there any doubt that contemporary American lampworking designs/techniques are being replicated throughout western Europe today? I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that.

[Mecha]

We who?

You and I had nothing to do with any of these historical factoids.

I was just joking around. I laugh my ass off every time someone that was not invoved in world war two brings it up as if they personally sacrificed something. You read about it. That's it. Same with me.

Lighten up!:chilling:

[Paradise Waits]

Well, I sure got an ear full from my grandfather (who raised me). He served in the Pacific Theatre of Operations, P-38 aircrew. He got shot up so many times/could barely walk anymore... so we spent countless hours together in his old Ford truck, touring the National Parks. Believe me, the monologue was heavily WW2 themed.

His older brother was among our fallen at Omaha beach in 1944. So yes, it's ingrained in my consciousness.

My father was killed in Nam when I was three years old. Am I allowed an opinion on that war (which we inherited from the French)?

Or, by your measure my statements can never be valid, nor am I allowed to make a historical reference because I wasn't a combatant in those wars?

Both my grandfather and my father came from a sovereign (tribal) nation in the western United States... and the French didn't lift a finger to help us keep our land. If anyone helped the Desert Cahuilla it was the Spanish, providing us with guns & horses. So, technically (if you really want to split hairs) I probably shouldn't be saying "we" in reference to the Revolutionary war either.

Frankly, I think "we" would have done a little better against His Majesty's Royal Army than we did against the American fronteirsmen. Oops... I didn't actually ride with Chief Cabazon, so my views on westward expansion & manifest destiny are meaningless. LOL!

Ok mecha, now you've got me laughing too. Mission accomplished.

[Mecha]

My grandfather was an arsonist for a couple of guys that committed insurance fraud. He went to prison. He was a model prisoner and got out early on good behavior. He became a successful businessman and is now a multi millionaire. He was also in ww2, although I think he was just a cook on a ship.

The thing is, those are his experiences, not mine. The fact that I share his genetic material does not mean that I get to share the credit, or shame for any of his actions. I have my own life that has it's own points of pride and embarrassment.

Never said that you could not reference past events. I just find it funny when people include themselves as if they had anything to do with it. Don't try and make it seem as if I am some ignorant rube trying to deny the context of historical events on the modern world, or that I somehow suggested one cannot have an opinion on the past.

Neat-o that you know some history! I like wikipedia too!

[UmaJulz]

Ah Hass, mon petit chou-chou. The decanter that you made for me is superb. I love it, especially with the eerie yellow green of my stash of absinthe glistening inside. My mom and my sister love theirs too, and can hardly wait to place an order for a full set- one for each exotic liqueur in all their brilliant colors. Wouldn't that make a fabulous gallery display?

We'll have to get you hooked up with all the restaurants in town too- then they too could support the glassblowers of the MI Crew. They are just so awesome, I think everyone should have one!

[superstupid]

no offense, but theres some rootless comments here. to be fair, mecha, the whole "we" thing is how most people refer to their country and people. it doesnt matter if you were there, our families were. "we". when you refer to your family as "we" are you only referring to the living? would you have corrected a 20 year old black student who wrote an essay stating that "we" were taken into slavery?. i bet you wouldnt. sorry for taking this thread further in the wrong direction, but i really dont think the original topic was going anywhere anyway. this is a bit more stimulating.

[mer]

my dog says this thread is lame.

[Greymatter Glass]

If not for them, we would be having tea and crumpets.

Have you ever HAD a real Crumpet? With some strawberry jam...omg they're awesome. Like a cross between a pancake and an english muffin.

[Swampy]

Mon Ami Masseur Hass, la decanteur est tres bien, merci beaucoups.

[JANKYglass]

how much for a decanter with colour?

[Imsocool5609]

I inherieted HIV from my mom

[Udai Hussien]

I inherieted HIV from my momyeah that whore got it from sharing a dirty herion syrenge with Courtney Love

[JANKYglass]

i'm gonna put pink champale in my hasslenut decanter.

bonjour hasslenuts bonjour

Of course I would. Why not? Should I be afraid of black people for some reason? Slavery has not existed in this country for quite a while now. To not point that out would be ridiculously over PC in my book. Modern day blacks have no more claim to experiencing slavery than any one else.

I am just referring to the notion of taking credit for the actions of others simply due to familial or national relations.

Just because "most people" use the term "we" does not mean it is correct. Remember "most" people voted for GW.

Hell yeah I have. Quite tasty! I love Turkish delight as well.

A good friend of mine worked at a British imports store when we were younger. It was run by the ex tour manager of Jethro Tull. Some of the treats were quite delectable indeed!

[Mr. Whale dick]

By the way, my other three dogs concur with Cricket (the one in the picture). The cats however (Pickles and Herschel), could give a damn.

Send your Grandfather to my webpage, I could use some extra business. As a multi-millionaire he should be able to spare some cash for a starving artist.... I'll hook him up with a good deal on whatever he wants!

aloha!

I love Dr. Suess.

[Paradise Waits]

Finally something we can agree upon... Dr Seuss! LOL

Truly sorry about the Franco-bashing. I thought I perceived an undercurrent at the start of this thread, and I jumped right on the bandwagon. Not cool.

PS) Hass, will you ship to Brazil? Put me down for a gross.

[Mr. Wonka]

My decanter arrived today, and it's awesome... not to mention that it was made in America (Michigan in particular). I'm a personal friend of Hasselnuts and he was kind enough to fill it with whiskey for me.

Fortunately I got it before the price increase- Thanks Alex... you da man!

Tom

[JANKYglass]

what about a combo decanter,escargot dish and a frog leg pedastal?

CRUMPETS RULE

[Mecha]

^^Now we're talking! I love S-Car-Go and frog legs taste like chicken! Hook it up!

Of course Crumpets Rule! They are British, aren't they?

[midniteburner]

Slavery has not existed in this country for quite a while now. Modern day blacks have no more claim to experiencing slavery than any one else.

Well Mr. Mecha, you are soooo wrong here!!! Of course "modern day blacks" are experiencing slavery. So are the whites and everyone else who pays taxes. We are all slaves to the IRS!!!


Thread jack accomplished!

Not quite :D :blowkiss:

[Mecha]

Sara

Theoretically, the IRS should be redistributing our tax dollars in a just and equitable manner.

Obviously, this is not the case....

However, it is not quite as brutal as living in imprisonment to some wealthy land owner and having to pick cotton (or some other menial task) all day. I can't even remember the last time I was whipped. Better get on the wife about that :devilish:

"Mr. Mecha"...hahahahaha, too funny!

[Greymatter Glass]

Just got my authentic Hasslenuts brand "Whacky French-Style Decanter"

I filled mine with Cabo Wabo Añejo, look great.

Thanks Hass, the $4400 money order is on its way, thanks for not doing COD, hate those fees!

Kinda looks like a tree.....

[newmexicomagma]

i just got mine. ehhhhh. do they sell chinese black in france? my dog thinks i should make a pipe like it.

[superstupid]

[QUOTE=mecha;342531]Of course I would. Why not?

would you really be that fucking analytical, and disrespectful in event? i would make a cash bet that you wouldnt, but only with a third party provided you knew nothing of the bet. you would have to be a real asshole to do that, not because youre scared of black people. ive seen your posts and know that youre a good dude. however, "we" IS the right term. i never saw where it even came close to sounding like paradise waits was taking credit for anything, you made that up with emotion aroused by a "pet peeve" of yours, so here i am with my "pet peeve" . respectfully though. i really think this is a good debate topic but, if someone started a thread like that, it would just look like someone trying to start a fight. whatever though, this is a dog picture thread now.lol can someone take this in a fourth direction?

I don't disagree with you at all, in fact i completely agree. but you do realize I was talking about how a lot of people bag on others work because it was obviously influenced by another. it happens. I didn't say Jason would be bothered, just the flocks of internet retards that flock to defend the honor of artists they have never met.

simple point, got lost in the shuffle, oh fucking welll.
