Everybody is diggin' the blue around here also. I got a shit load of the cobalt blue so when my kiln comes in be expecting to see a bunch of them. It should be being shipped next week sometime I hope but it has to be shipped large freight which is a tractor trailer from Oregon so better expect another week on that.

Cracking is always a problem even with a kiln. That is a very nice pipe. Did it crack around the bumps on the bowl?

Nope It cracked all around the bubble It's not from not melting in good enough everything is melting in even. I'm pretty sure it's from thermal shock from uneven cooling. I'm sure when I get my kiln most of my cracking issues will be sussed (I hope). I know I'll still get cracking but a proper annealing will deff make things a lot more stable.

Thats some nice looking work there. I'm digging the blue also!!:thumbs:

It's a beautiful pipe, no doubt! I was just asking because the pictures were hard to see if the buttons got melted in enough. Bowls crack because the graphite punch pulls a lot of heat out of the glass leaving stress behind. Some times it helps to tap the graphite punch through the flame (at a distance) a couple times to warm it up.
