| i blow glass, and i have been tossing around the idea of potentially making some blown glass pipe tampers/picks/scoops
(similar to the "pipe nail" tools sold online)
I was just curious if this sounds like anything anyone would be interested in. |

| I actually love blown glass (Seattle-Chihuly) so it seems like a great idea to me. The one's I've seen up to this point were a little too dainty though and never really appealed to me. If you could do some that were a little more... manly I guess, I would think people would love them.

Once it warms up here in CO i'll make up a few and post them.
it's freezing here and my workshop is no exception.
i wonder if i could sell them at local tobacconists and smoke shops? |

Pipe: Oh I don't know...I have so many...I happen to like Savinelli pipes, cheap and pretty good, only problem I really had with them was an air hole drilled too high, which I fixed with pipe mud. I also enjoy old pipes I've restored and pipes I've made myself.
