that’s some nice looking food abroham. I run my own business, I make MREs and shelf stable food. It doesn’t pay the bills yet, because I don’t push my product yet, it’s still on the small scale prototype recipe phase.

Making food shelf stable honestly requires a lot of tweaking to get the flavors it has when fresh to carry over. So I consider it a bigger challenge than just cooking. Plus if I get it right when I scale it up I’ll be able to easily donate actual meals to the needy.

If I can pay all my bills and have around 1000 to blow every month I’m happy, I don’t need tons of money, but tons of people need food.

I gotta ask, seriously how hard is it to make an easy to clean glass pipe? I use baking soda and vinegar to clean my glass. (Works like 4 times better than alcohol.) Problem is it’s like scraping resin off the inside and I end up with this loose resin that won’t come out.

And yes I know clean it more often.

For smoking flower no not really. Other than cleaning it after every use, the resin is just so thick it’s hard to clean regardless. I like to wipe my bowl out with a paper towel immediately after each use and that keeps the bowl clean and resin free at all times.

Do you work with soft glass? Or boro? I have a cricket, and love to make marbles and such. I learned from a snodgrass apprentice! My good buddy @spunchun. Check him out on IG.

Love to see some of your work.

Boro, I’ve never actually worked with soft glass before. I started on a GTT Lynx. Then moved up to a phantom and used that for about 8 yrs. I just recently upgraded to a Kobuki.

Awesome! How long have you been at it?

Soft glass is so fun! Whole nother bag of cheetos tho. Feels like infinite time to play without having to reheat with a torch. Jealous of your kobuki. I could make a vortex boulder with that thing. Cricket is just too small.

Just caught up. Lampworking. Wow, you are really an artist. I tried blowing, but never lampwork. I’m more of a technician than an artist. But you are really an artist. I am sooo jealous.

That’s basically what I would be asking, just basic stuff. Anyone that can’t be told what to look for and make their own choices should just hire a brokerage firm
