You dont need a spinner or a lathe to make any sort of bong, it just makes the process faster if its a symmetrical piece. Using a lathe doesnt mean it isn't hand made, its just another tool like a poker or marvering pad.
i never said i work for phx i said i worked with phx that is a big difference my friend. i do in fact work for pure glass distrobution and do work on a lathe and also on a bench. i consider the lathe to be like a third arm if you will and since nobody in the world has a good functioning third arm to use well with glassblowing then i call it not hand blown it uses a machine to do it and yes it is more practical for symetrical bongs but if you dont use a lathe and you make a bong your arms must be very strong like arnold s. and you have perfect spinning abilities otherwise you will end up with a larfy stupid looking piece of glass
