This is an amazing deal, holy moly.

That last piece isn't real, is it? It doesn't look like it came from this planet or anything like that...

I'm suspicious...

[Wonderful work, holy smokes!!]

Sure thing! SCOBY is an acronym for what it actually is-- a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast. When placed in green or black tea and sugar, it ferments and creates an elixir which contains amino...

I...actually don't know [at least for the big ones]! But you can get small cultures from GT's brown bottle drinks for like 4$ and usually they'll have a small SCOBY floating around [skip their...

I've got some konbucha growing, and I'm wondering if there's any interest for it? I'll trade a culture for some raw glass or tools, depending on what they are.

I'm kind of skeptical about...

Life's too short, do whatcha wanna [so long as you don't intentionally/stupidly harm anyone, including yourself] and have fun in the process, eh? Life's too short, life's too short, life's too short,...

Oh wow, you've definitely improved a great deal since the last time I posted! Your style is really coming through! :) Keep up the good work, yeah? Really loving the lil alien buddy above the eye in...

Wowzers, that is some fine work! I really love the elegance of the simple pieces because I think they emphasize your shaping. They look sturdy, too!

Totally digging the doughnut piece, too

Microfiber and rubbing alcohol! :) Gets the gunk right off your fingertips, too!

As for the pieces, they look quite nice and elegant, and I'm totally digging the wrap and rake spoons-- super...

Northstar also has posters! You can call them up and ask them for a catalog and they'll send you a poster with their colors :) TAG has one too, but I think you have to buy their large color sample...

Hey guys, just wanted to let you all know that I am offering to take pictures for people living around in the San Fernando Valley or Los Angeles who don't have a camera capable of taking...

Still have those regs/hoses/arrestors by chance? I wish you the best of luck and Godspeed-- I hope you find a way back into lampworking soon :\

If 450 is too much to drop on a Redmax, I'd recommend a National 3A; kinda small, but they're versatile and get the job done quite well.

And when you outgrow it, you'll have a nice hand torch to...

In one way, I understand where the others are coming from, but on the other hand, you're still a part of the degenerate movement's growth and evolution just as much as they are. The respect will come...

I'm not trying to lecture here or anything, but I'm not sure if people will be very receptive to your name; when I first joined the forums, my original moniker was 'kannabeast', and I had my ass...

I'd recommend buying from Chris :} I bought the Lynx from him, and he was pretty awesome about it-- even put it on hold for me [because since last I knew, Lynxes seem to fly]. Super cool guy, I'd do...

From personal experience:

Sigh. While I think some of the blame can be shifted onto vendors, and I'm not singling you out, Dave [like you said, the whole game is evolving and you're just keeping up your paces, putting bread...
