Cool stuff :)
If you don't mind working soft glass for a little bit to learn, head over to Lauscha for a class or two. The Lauscha glass factory is there and I think they conduct classes on doing ornaments. You can build on those skills.

man 26 x 4mm is all you need to make oil dishes. anything bigger is overkill. i only have that size tubing too, and want some larger tubing, but for making goblets, not dishes.

it similar to getting a drivers license i think at first youre glad to have a small tiny car but when you experienced the joy of driving you wanna have something bigger better with more horsepower haha
i made a small goblet yesterday, it not big but big enough to take a 4cl(two shots)
i was very stoked when it came out
