ID:	42268 You can't really tell from the picture but the shapes ended up pretty nice, I actually really enjoyed making these little chillums. Should be posting some pictures tomorrow of a little dish I have annealing right now, hope it doesn't crack! Goodnight MP!

    First successful dish, had lots of messing around with the "coil potting" technique.

    Have you tried just doing the restriction for the hitters?

    I believe it's when you heat up the glass and let it condense upon itself in the tube, "restricting" the inner diameter of the tube.

    Yeah 12 or 16 mil works great. Restrict, shape stem, shape bowl, shape mouthpiece. Try to keep th restriction atleast an eighth of an inch open.

    Man, those are some cool simple stash jars. Have you sold any yet? They sell like hot cakes around me.
    Can "nothing" exist?

    yeah thanks man! It was sort of like a opposite honeycomb attempt. The crack kinda showed me what happens when you don't have a clean base.
