    Just the latest 2.

    The bigger one is a little over 7" in length. Green boiled so I didnt melt it it well enough. Other than that I'm pleased.

    CC?

    Haha yea some emo kid at work asked me to make it for him Green,Caramel and random bubbles 7"-8" was the request I think it worked out ok.

    And much props to you people out there working with giant tube and rod.I had to spin that one with 2 hands to keep the bowl bubble even once the punty came off.

    looks good. All melted in and your mouthpiece holes are nicely sized.

    Thank you much I gave up on tube there for a bit because I was unhappy with mouthpieces and my holes in general.

    Plus I was running low on funds and had to sell a shitload of pendants to reup on supplies.

    For about the last 2 weeks I have been back at it and I'm actually happy with what I have been making.
