I'm just as impressed as I was when I seen the m-16 last year.

[shark bait]

Thanks for sharing.

You have been repped.

[Chad S]

Great video, thanks sling! I just hope I'm half as cool as Mickelsen when I get his age, cus I know my skills won't be.

[faded]

i wanna see them with smoke going thru them. probably looks even cooler. pretty amazing stuff.

[Robert Mickelsen]

Wow. Thank you all for the kind words. This came as a complete surprise to me. The interview was done during the BIG Industry show last March. I participated as part of the new "Galleria" section for glass pipes in that show. If I had known this interview would be so widely seen I would have been more careful about my answers. My inbox is busting with inquiries about glass guns. Speaking of which, have you seen my latest?

[Chad S]

Yeah, I did see that when I was checking out your homepage. Love the bayonet! So, what "Gun of Peace" is next in line?

[istandalone24/7]

[Rowdy]

Applause!!! Thank you Ram, for sharing with us and sharing us with the world!

Good luck, Peace

[Forche]

Ram I want to have ur babies -nice new work and thx for all the pipe love:)

[brian falls]

I`m jut amazed by the size of that thing and the overall complexity of the assembly work involved. As a novice I`m am perplexed at how someone can accomplish the assembly of a piece so large.Especially with the odd shapes involved. Ram you are obviously a very accomplished glassworker and I was stoked to see that on such a mainstream site. Beautiful work!

I need a gun to keep myself from harm
The poor people are burning in the sun
But they ain't got a chance
They ain't got a chance
I need a gun
Cause all I do is dance
Cause all I do is dance

[menty666]

Love the new one!

I never use this so frequently thrown around that the meaning has been lost term, but that's epic.

[HoneyCombOver]

Very cool Mr. Mickelson. I'm glad you were able to shed some light on our art form. The beauty and quality craftsmanship of these works is undeniable. In fact, your guns are commonly something that I show pictures of to non-smokers that ask about glass. Their responses are always very positive and appreciative of the fine detail and effort put into such a creation. They're even more shocked when I inform them that they're functional :D

Keep on keepin on you're truly an inspiration.

[Wilbur]

Very nice. great mainstream exposure to the whole industry. Glad to see you didnt front on why you started makin pipes. Get that money is the name of the game for us all.

[Aaron Ellis]

WOW!!!!!! Robert Your my idle.

[SethBickis]

That work is so sweeet! Id like to see an H&K and also a line of pistols would blast off!

[Bluemoon24]

I think of Mr. Mickelsen as a glassblowing yoda......Very cool link!

[Muse]

Great work! Nice to see bridges forming in this industry.
