negative self talk, always results in someone not doing 'a good job' live more positively man, there's nothing to fear in this world but fear it'sself (yes cheesy, but you all HAVE to admit it's true, i've found if YOU don't give a fuck and are confident, neither will anyone else.) i do however recommend you use something safer then a bowl then a bowl of plastic, lead, aluminum or lead, (all of which are 'soft' metals 'cept for thge plastic, and all are poisonus when heated to smoking tempatures) but nice craftsmen ship, doesn't have melted plastic, glue or duct/electrical tape all over the place, which you usally see in amature home-made bongs.. keep up the good work.
oh yea, ignore the glass comments, i find often the best pipe/bong to smoke out of it is the ones you made yourself, not only do you know you've taken the time (usually) to make sure it's 'perfect' but also you know you made it, which makes smoking out of it 10,000x times better, if i could blow glass, even shittily i would sure as fuck only make my own... (glass is just my preference, nothing wrong with plastics/metal, hell i didn't even get my first glass peice til fucking years after i started smoking, and i mean 5+
