(Dry Pieces)

PIPE # 1 Ok so as you can see i had some trouble. when i went to blow out the bowl hole, it blew out really big. (can someone explane how to blow out a percise hole?) from there i added another tube to form the new bowl. i ran into some leaks around the joint so i decided to be a glass welder and fill in the gaps. works pretty good but looks kind of messy. then i went to blow out the carb hole. same problem. it blew really big, so i added a little filler twisty which worked out nice because without it, it wouldn't sit upright.

so yeah. here it is in all of its glory!

(made on a minor. annealed in a fiber blanket!)

N00bs out there like me it can be done!

helpful hint
"(made on a minor. annealed in a fiber blanket!)"

not to sound like a jerk, but a fiber blanket will NOT anneal anything. nor will vermiculite or anything. a kiln is all that can anneal anything. you should really read up on the basic chemestry etc. of flameworking, it really helped me out alot when i first started out.

especially when you start gettin past spoons, understanding stress and annealing is critical to not having everything just explode in ur face :)
