    Default Glass Blowing

    Ok so a buddy of mine blows glass and hes going to start to sell his items that he blows. He has been blowing for 20 years now and can do some awesome work. This is a piece that he blew for a friend of mine. Its got pink and white swirls and the partial see through glass is color changing, when its heated up to a certain temp. I will post some more pics later this week of what else he does, just figured I would see if people on here would be intrested. The pieces are a little more expensive, but you get exactly what you want.

    A little pipe like the one below runs anywhere from $40-50, also there are mini bubblers that are as tall as this is length wise which run around $50-60. Like I said I will get some pics up, anyone intrested?

    i'm highly interested in seeing the mini bubbs.

    those are definitely on the expensive side.

    Figured I would see if there was a want and if there is something big enough, then I will pay and start selling.

    i could talk to him about it. He would need to see the car and the hoses for a few hours but it is VERY possible. The guy is out in winder, a little drive, but he is WELL worth the drive. very artistic and a perfectionist. I will talk to him

    aight. i've seen an example of how the process is done. and it's cool as hell. but the glass guy was somewhere like california. there's MAYBE 2 companies that do that type of work.....if he becomes an IA sponsor he could very well be #2-3!!

    it's time for you to be a salesman DT!!! put the bug in his ear.....it can be done for bikes/trucks as well........

    what about engine vibration?

    my sr20 doesnt move much but i would be worried that over time stress will come into play... i'd be down for a set

    engine dampers infinite...engine dampers....and he'd have to make the glass strong enough to withstand all that. i'm 236 lbs. i'd stand on them and if they break, i'd slap him and send him back to the glass shop! DT LEMME GET HIS NUMBER, I'LL SELL HIM ON IT.

    sure it may not stand up to someone doing 90mph and bottom out.....but i'm sure the glassman would be able to come up with something that may rival steels' strength.

    oh no. i understand, it's basically the backbone of the business....there's smokers all over the A, so i understand. it's like custom body shops handling insurance claims because that is more common that someone wanting custom work. it keeps the business running, til their expertise is tested via car enthusiasts.

    that rad hose is sex.. i think the best way is to leave some room for small peices of actuall hose to be attached to the ends so there is a bit of manuverability...
