@RueNahcMohr This one doesnt have any paint. Yeah the weld bends are kinda tricky, but I have been practicing as I like the look. It takes a little longer, but kinda nice to not need to worry about painting.
:] These are from my glass-blowing hayday, I only got good enough to have a 50% success rate, I wanted to make a laser tube (HeNe) so I look up to all who have more success than I did.
@RueNahcMohr woah, yeah, those side seals can be tricky. Gotta get em nice an hot an work em in to get a good weld. The laser tube sounds really neat and like it would be a neat thing to make.
