That orange unit is amazing....That blue velvet glass looks pretty cool too. Coming up on a year now, got anything special in mind for a 1 year anniversary unit?

I am digging your worked sections. I must say the kinks and inconsistent wall thickness and diameter on the curves just ruins it for me. I am not bagging on ya, just giving my honest opinion. With how nice the worked sections are looking I have faith that you will get the even curve soon. Good luck!

diameter on curves is different in different places for specific reasons. and the inconsistant wall thickness you speak of does not exist on the last few clear curves, its tube stock from the curve, so i never changed the thickness, and its constant, although i do stretch them some.

thanks for the tips though, all advice is appreciated. if you go back a few pages you can see i already had a very similar conversation.

sorry it ruins it for ya

Lookin' good man... I know that these are your bread and butter, but it would be nice to see something other than a vape in this thread, just sayin'...
Keep up the great work brother!

i posted a goblet a page or so ago. i posted some dishes n goblets back a few pages. as it is my pedal parts should be her tuesday at the latest, and i am going to build that up, then make some more goblets when i can control my flames with footpedals.

**Bo Diddles** · 09-18-2010, 08:15 AM

i guess i just meant other types of pipes...

**hashmasta-kut** · 09-18-2010, 08:22 AM

oh!

i'm not sure if thats gonna happen much. i dont know anyone who needs a traditional pipe really, except i had one request recently for a pipe that is this shape, and less than 5 inches tall, and so here you are

**Bo Diddles** · 09-18-2010, 08:51 AM

Pretty sweet man

**Dom** · 09-18-2010, 06:25 PM

That last unit is pretty nice dude.

About the other pipes. I cannot understand how any artist would only want to mass produce one thing. I guess its just a business for ya...

what about a waiting list of over a hundred people? should i make a bunch of bongs i cant sell and make those people wait even longer for the sake of artistic expression? i get my creative outlet in various avenues, and you cant really call the rate of production i put out on these units mass production, lol. and i also have a lot of orders for the curves too, so that cuts into time available for whole units a lot. but i get a good feeling out of making lots of these for many people to use, cuz they seem very appreciative, on the whole. I think its my calling to devote most of my production in this area. If you find thats more businesslike than art to you, well i dont see if that has much merit on the situation really, its just your feelings

I went through it and you said you had reasons, Could not seem to find the reasons though.... You said something along the lines of 'it is like that to make it function properly'. Not sure what you meant by that... Seems that a nice even curve with no constriction would make them function well... I have only been doing this for a little while though...You know since the late '90s
