the whole time. :-P :clap:

she would show me while i sat over her shoulder, then she let me do it while she sat over mine. when she saw i had it figured out she would step away so i wouldn't get all nervous.
 
That's cool man! I wish I had an Oaksterdam U. Well the University of Colorado in Boulder is pretty close . . . :lol:
 
Wow, you've really improved quickly!Good job.

thats cool but pricey,but one lb of your stash will pay for it:weed:

ill have to buy one,when im "home(kali)" i took ceramics in hs,quite fun,bad teachers,but i got pretty good at it. ill put a pic of what i made that was entered in the show case. it represents the day that i was at my lowest point,i will post a pic if u let me.

one kid in my former class made a ceramic bong. someone stoled it from the room. prob was the teacher,she was messed up.

if you ever want to give ceramics a try,its quite fun,messy,but fun. you can make clay grow containers.

i think i can use my wood stove. i just need to make a shelf in there for my pieces to sit on. or just put them right on the top. it gets hella hot if i load it up. then let them cool as the fire goes out. i'm looking at kilns and the one i need is 600 dollars. i'm not ready to spend that yet.

It only took less than a month, :clap::clap: I figured it to be a week or so :-P

Practice makes Perfect .......... Good luck

Now you can hold more contests and have your FDD custom piece's as prizes .. bongsmilie:bigjoint:

so what,practice makes perfect. practice also cost money,practice is what will make you the great you seek to be. keep that in mind.

you could make a shit load and try to see if your local dollerstore will sell them,like 10marbs for a buck. that way u get some revenue back till the kiln arrives
 
a buck, lololololololol ........... i could make these all day. hella cool. ............ http://www.jandjglassworks.com/site/710064/page/415204

i'm learning how to make them properly next weekend if my class goes thru. i ordered a marble mold as well. it's not really a "mold" so to speak. you make the shape freehand, the mold just cleans everything up. evens the two sides out.
 
Nice work FD. A good teacher is worth every penny. Between the kiln, a few more lessons and all the youtube vids should have you making some quality smoking equipment soon.
