LOL, it is a little like that, isn't it?

If it makes you feel any better, I have absolutely no interest in making pipes or bongs either. Beads, marbles, etc are more my speed, too.

And borosilicate is wonderful mysterious stuff! After years of working with 104, it takes a little adjustment to working with a hard glass - but now that there are so many new colors and tube sizes, its well worth the effort, imnsho.

As for online boro communities... tbh, I tend to spend a lot of time on youtube watching ppl work, as I'm always interested in new techniques.

As for websites, the only one - other than LCE here - I bother with is The Melting Pot - www.talkglass.com. It does have a lot of pipe and equipment makers, but its not ALL pipe and equipment makers if you get my drift. There are some bead and other non-functional artists there, and it does seem to be reasonably busy there too.

And, if you do come across any other sites, I'd really appreciate you coming back and telling us? Welcome back to glass
