This is a series of videos on making glass pipes. I just watched all of them, pretty cool :D I just got a new piece, and I kept looking at it, trippin on how cool the inside out colors are and thinking about how they make them.

I know I've posted one or two of these before, but I thought I'd put up the whole series in case anyone wanted to check them out. Some interesting stuff, some boring parts too. I love watching the actual glass blowing.

It's ok, as long as you watch the vids :wink:

I never really knew how they made them until I watched one of these vids. I mean, I figure they blow the glass, but I'd never seen how they did the inside out colors really...but one day I saw something on the discovery channel on how they make marbles, and it was cool as fuck. Figured it'd be even cooler to watch them make something I smoke out of :grin:

No shit! I mean marbles fascinated me when I was a kid, and I had some cool ones. Once I saw what went into making them, damn, they were like little works of art in my pocket!

That's cool as fuck that she mended it for you! And I think it'd be cool as fuck to know how to make pieces. Fdd tells me they have classes at Oaksterdam :grin:
