LOL I know the pipe is ugly but hollow things are not easy to made ....way harder than it apear but !!! i'm getting it !

So, give us like, the layman terms, how do you make it hollow? Is that where you actually have to 'blow' it?
I bet it's a really fun hobby, especially in the learning phase.

Fuck ya ClearDome, the dry looks dope! How did you say you built that one? Full rundown is in order! haha.
Also, if you're making hot knives, you should try the "extract bowl". Make a bowl shape (not too trick, just close off an end, and flare it out to give it the shape) and then instead of pushing the push in, blow the push out. Pop a ring of small holes near the top of the push (bottom of the cone you just blow out) and then push the push back in, like normal. You should be left with a ring of holes around the top face of the bowl, no hole in the bottom. Drop hash in there and glo-rod it, its the shit.
SA, When you buy raw glass, it comes in both rods and tubes. Tubes are hollow, rods aren't. You build things out of both, using your breath and the heat and sometimes gravity to shape the pipe.
Does this answer your question well enough, or you want more detail?

It arrived. Broken in 3 pieces.
Too bad because it looks fucking awesome too. The poker appears to have broken off the marble, and then the poker part broke in half regardless, so some super glue isn't likely to be any sort of permanent solution.
I don't feel like asking for my $$ back, it was only like, 20 bucks, but any chance I might be able to get a new one in the future? We can hold off on shipping it.
My mom was like "Why the fuck are you getting 'blown glass' sent to our house from Canada?"
"It was a gift mom, here look"
She looked at it and was like "well, some gift!" The marble is cool at least. I'll put it on my desk.

Yeah, I'm not sure how it broke. You packed it really well!!! It could have been the temperature, but I doubt it. My guess it it just got shook the wrong way. The box was kinda beat up, but not too bad.
Here is the poor baby;
Maybe the fact that it had 'blown glass' declared on it that someone decided to toss it around.
And yeah, no worries, take your time. Seriously, no rush at all! If you'd rather just refund me than make a new one and ship it (as you said it might be a waste of your time), that is fine by me too.
Thanks again C_D, you rock.

I'll take some time to think about it.
Thanks again dude. And I love the Escher avatar. Escher is one of my favorite artists of all time!
edit// hehe, even though broken, I'm still keeping all the pieces. The lil' marble thing is a nice lil add on to the trinkets that line my desk and the other 2 pieces will go into my glass graveyard.
