I'm Looking 4 Custom Glass Blower!!!

I have a really really nice 12 inch glass bong, the art is incredible and I love the thing to death so I want to give it a little upgrade...

there are a few of things i want to do to it...

1. i want to get rid of the rubber gromit and go gong style and have a 18.8 joint put in.

2. I want its original bowl to be adapted to fit in the 18.8 glass joint

3. I want the shaft to be extended from 12 inches to somthing like 24.
(there doesn't need to be any art on the extended shaft except for the top where i'de like the artist to put a little ring of art that is similar to the rest of the art that is on the bong.)

4. I'de like the artist to add an ice pinch towards the bottom of the extended shaft

I'm looking for an artist in Massachusetts or the surrounding areas, if anyone knows of anyone or any shops please reply!


I'll post a picture of my bong later on today (i cant now caus ei'm in work)

Awesome are you gonna have a storefront or its it all online?

I sent "Bates" as in psycho, the link to your pics, hes the blower of 505 glass, heres what he had to say,

Bates:thumbsup::
"I recomend changing too 19mm 505-difuser(fused) and 18mm bowl male joint, Ice catcher is not a problem however I would like to place it in a spot where main tube is not so intricate, so as not to interfear with artist work. There is one problem I forsee and that is with the fume, the fume is the color changing effect that is fused or put on the glass. A fire session must be done to properly harden and set the glass, in this process at times the fume can completely burn off. This all depends on a number of things, If the color is to burn off we can refume however there will be an extra fee for fire and fume. Fire fee is the fire session in which the glass sets, every time the peice is put to fire that is another fire fee. Also of coars their is an unknow color glass factor, this is not a fee but more a agreement. Colors of glass are sometimes achevied by fireing at different temps. What this means is some color will change after refiring, an example could be a peice that comes in for custom work and is red, but after firing is clear yellow. Allot of times this can be fixed buy refiring the peice after it has come to temperature, and usualy this can bring back the red. However in some cases the color can change or completely burn off. This again depends on a number of things. 505 GLASS uses all the best product we can get our hands on and our goal is provide our customer with functional glass art and a good price. Prices will be listed when the website is up, as far as a store front, we want to focus on a global market and a store front as of now does not interest us but possibley a studio in the future. Right now we are very busy making product for opening and local art shows, our focus is basicaly differnet colors right now although there have been some customs. In the near future we will come out with more lines of glass. All glass is made in the USA and proud of it, all glass is blown with only the best vibes in mind."


Me the MadSativa :pimp:; after all that he called and said "tellem it is still all up to him if he wants a bubbler out of that peice or a chandaleir we are willing to talk."

I'm still interested however if there a chance that my bong is gonna get ruined then forget it. Can he give a rough estimate on price? or even just to get a glass on glass joint put on it with no tube extension? I appreciate all your help! I cant wait till your shop is open, i'll deffinetly be making some orders... plus me and my friend have been looking o open a local glass shop in salem, ma, maybe when and if that finally does happen we can work somthing out and we can feature your work there!

Their is allways a chance of a complete peice being changed, their are so many factors from the type, brand, color, location, elements,etc. These are literaly just a few factors the list continues on and on , glass will not be ruined but there is always the chance of the original peice being drasticaly changed. This I have learned in just the short time I have been learning about Lampworking, did you know Benjamin Frankin blew glass in fact alot of great scientist did they had to make all their own lab beakers and cylinders and stuff. And in Roman artifacts they find the exact same tools that we use today. I find this fascinating, any way dont mean to tangent off but yeah 505 Glass would be honored to be in your area and it is always best for customs to be made literaly from the ground up(or Sand up haha) However in cases where a centimental pecie is broken it is better to salvage than to thow away(to some people, and some peices anyway):pimp:

They never rise that high but I have actuly seen them dip to prices that are like to good to be true. I know the Fire fee is like $13 and preaty much every thing floats around that price. Prices change cause glass changes, its hard to explain but glass manufactures dont constantly make one type of glass all the time, they do sets. Such as one week the make enough red for the whole world or another companie might be over stocked in a certain tube so they sell it off much cheaper than usual. And as far as glass from the elements the prices stay about the same but the price goes up substantialy, because your peice is created from the elements of New Mexico and also Elements from Italy. Why NM because thats where were at, Why Italy cause we find some things such as color can vary enough to use elements of different regions, Italy just has alot more experiance mixing and matching their elements for color. All this fascinates the hell out of me.:pimp::pimp::pimp:

i could hook you up but the price tag says 5000 DKKR (1000$)
apraised to about 10.000 DKKR (2000$)
due to the inserted daimonds:D

haha, a little over my price range... can you get it with no diamonds?

just do as i did by a pipe over the internet, then go to the jewelers (make shure hes cool with mj) and ask him for a price on the custom edits you want maybe rings in gold silver or i have seen one with just the pipe and varius gems in and im shuer you can get it done in a pric leve that suites you to...
im just an idiot when it come to spending my doe, and i eat fuckin pasta all that month lol
