So I decided to try my hand at glass blowing. It is definitely an art. Luckily the good folks at Burnt Glass in Jax, FL helped me out (OK they pretty much did everything) . This is the vase!

It looks like you would need a lot of equipment and knowledge to start that off. I will have to stick with my shovel and aching mussels. It's always nice to try something you enjoy. When you make a nice OLD STYLE beer bottle I'm your guy

Funny you say that, I've had a fantasy of making an 1850s soda/beer bottle manufacturing setup to blow bottles with custom embossing on em. One day when I've got the room and like 5 grand to throw at it I'll give it a shot
